"This is an old property in the middle of Galway’s ‘Latin quarter’. It is super busy with shops, pub cans music but the hotel was an oasis in the middle of the busyness. We had a lovely room, comfortable bed and all one would expect from a building that originally was built 400 years ago. No lift and rooms aren’t hugely but it had alot of character as well as comfort. We loved it, will say again! "
