  Great value for a short stay in Galway

  Liked: Great location. The breakfast was fantastic for just a tenner. The hotel has no parking but the street outside had loads of spaces so that's not an issue at all. Even though it's a pub, you don't hear any noise in the room I was in.

  Disliked: Nothing

  Liked: If you don't want to spend a lot of money, and all you're interested in is a place to sleep, you'll find it here. What you don't find is the comfort, services, and atmosphere of a hotel - these are rooms upstairs from a friendly, and not very noisy (on a Saturday!) pub. You park at the door, the center of wonderful Galway is a 15-minute walk away, or a quick bus ride that drops you off at the door directly from the center.

  Liked: I just had one night here but I must say I had one of the best sleeps ever....the bed was really comfortable and even with how horrendously bad the weather was outside I didn't wake up once during the night. The room had everything I needed, and the staff at reception are very friendly,the gentleman at check in and the lady at check out. Location great too, just between the city centre and Salthill.
