Easy to find, and there are a couple of car parks very close to choose from (the one directly opposite appears to be at the higher end of the prices for Galway though). Check in was easy, via a screen. The rooms and hotel were clean and well kept, and there's a vending machine upstairs. The rooms looked and felt quite newly furnished/decorated. There was a fan provided, appreciated as the room was very warm (August), there's no air con. Our room faced the front of the building, and although you could open the windows, it was very very noisy from the pub across the street. On Friday the music and karaoke went on until 1am, and was very loud even with the windows shut (which was uncomfortable because it was so warm). On Saturday it was quieter, but the location is still on a main road out of the city, near some nightclubs, so there were rowdy people outside until about 3am. The rooms are clean and small, without anywhere to actually really PUT things except the floor, which was frustrating. It wasn't even possible to put a washbag in the bathroom as there isn't a shelf/space on the sink to do so. There's a coffee machine which took up half the small table space in the room, but no glasses for use for water. There are a few hangers provided for shirts, but nowhere to put your suitcase. The plug sockets are behind the bedside tables, so you have to actually move the table out of the way to use them. The bed was comfy, and the water pressure for the shower is great.

Convenient spot in the heart of Galway. My suggestion for improvement is to clearly post the explicit steps to get internet working and also how to work the shower- life is too short for these frustrations.

There was no front desk staff but the set up to get your key and into the building is seamless. Very clean, beds were super comfortable and quiet. I would highly recommend staying here. Walking distance to everything that you need!

Place was clean and in walking distance to the city centre. Temperature outside was 15 degrees but room was really really warm and you were unable to control the heat. When contacting the hotel they told us to turn on the fans and open the window however it was uncomfortably hot and stuffy in the room.

Modern and good location
Convenient location and clean modern decor. Self-service check-in was a bit of a pain as had to enter each guest info separately into a machine. Bed mattress wasn’t very comfortable and would have preferred a king size. Needed a bath mat or extra towel to step on after shower as floor was slippery when wet. Bathroom and shower are tiny. No air conditioning but we were cool enough in June.

While a nice place to stay, the check-in was very difficult. There is no one nearby to help with check-in and the machine that provides you with a key was broken. At first, it didn't take the Expedia confirmation number. Then, when we got it to work by entering my name, the machine completely blacked out and shut down. It wouldn't turn back on. I called someone who was eventually able to get my key card, but as I said there was no one on the property who could help. It was quite frustrating.

The booking number from Expedia didn’t work. We had to call locally and were given booking numbers not anything like we’d received from Expedia. Check in is at a kiosk requiring the booking number or full name on Expedia, the name didn’t work either. The rooms were great, just a little warm.

This was a clean, small, but efficient hotel. It is well located, we could walk to all we wanted to explore. The team, especially Liam, was very quick to respond to email communication, and assisted us with an early check in. We were even treated to an upgrade in room that became available during our stay. I'd highly recommend this hotel!!!

We had a “snug” room. No chairs. Very small. Would not recommend for two people. No service unless you stay longer than three days, and we stayed for three. I guess fine for a certain sort of traveler who has no real baggage. All automated, so no lobby or people, just a kiosk to type your info and get a key card. Couldn’t get a 2nd one for my partner.

Very convenient, but neighborhood can be noisy
The hotel is very conveniently located and perfectly clean. The room I had unfortunately overlooked Newtownsmith Rd, which made it very noisy because of the bar across the road. Since the weather was warm, it was a battle between getting fresh air with the windows open and hearing the rowdy bar noise, or muffled noise and no air. The set up in the bathroom was challenging, with no hooks/rails for towels, or shelves/surfaces to put toiletries in the bathroom itself. This combined with the noise would deter me from a longer stay. But if you're a sound sleeper and looking for somewhere nice, clean, and convenient - this is a great place. Good value overall.

Great stay, poor check-in
Everything about the hotel was almost perfect. It looks brand new and spotless. Decor and design are great. I love the bathroom and shower design and the room has everything you need. There is a small elevator. Be advised rooms are very very small; only enough to fit the bed, nightstands, and maybe 1-2 suitcases, but the stay was quiet and comfortable. The worst part was check-in; there is no receptionist and there is a learning curve to the check in. Once we input our reservation number there was a message saying the room was not ready around 7 or 8 pm. We had to call the provided phone number around three times to get an answer from someone, sitting on the stairs waiting for a reboot and workaround, while the screen then froze and crashed. I'm all for automation but there should be enough confidence that it's truly seamless.
