Lovely hotel
Lovely hotel in a fantastic location. Parking is literally next door - great value given the location. Staff are super friendly. And they left a nice note and a box of chocolates when I asked for something special for my gf. Lovely touch and really appreciated. The room itself is lovely, new and clean. Great bathroom and shower/bath. Zero complaints.

Our stay here was dantastic. The location was oerfect for sightseeing, food, and nightlife. It is loud at night due to the nightlife in the area, but we expected that.

Ah, Galway! If you want to be in the heart of music, pubs, and shops- and stay at a fun, hip and comfortable place, look no further.

You are right in the middle of a lot of action at this hotel! Made it so easy to explore. Parking is at the garage a few buildings down, but it was easy. Highly recommend!!

M, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

If you're a party person this hotel is for you ;)
The size of the rooms was decent, loved the in room coffee pot and you can't be at the location BUT the pub below was BLASTING music well past 2am and even with 2 sound machines and closed windows no sleep was to be had. Staff were polite but not friendly and with no breakfast service available we'll make a different choice on our next visit to Galway.

Great place to stay while in Galway. Stop thinking about it and just book it.
GREGORY, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

A great location, right in the thick of it. The only downside to that is that it’s a little noisy at night (something we were aware of before booking anyway).

10/10 Exceptional

Great location in the midst of everything fun!
Great stay with reception staff going the extra mile to ensure our stay was organised. Recommend the pub downstairs for food and music but get in early or you will miss out. The room can get a bit hot but use the fans supplied, they do a great job! Overall the Residence had everything we were wanting from our stay which was fun and ease.
