"Excellent location for our 4 day stay in Galway. Easy walking distance to town and the train station. The upside is our area is very quiet at night when compared to staying right in town. The bar has excellent drinks and wonderful snacks. They also provided water every day. 10/10 we will stay here again on our next visit to Galway."

The Snug Townhouse

8/10 Good
"The rooms were "Snug" as advertised but still enough space for what we needed. The biggest inconvenience was that there is no elevator, so if you are on a top floor you are carrying your luggage up. We made do. The location is right in the middle of all of the nightlife so it may be a bit loud at night when you are trying to sleep. We were so tired that it didn't make a difference! We liked being close to all the shops and pubs. There is also a parking structure just down the street if you are travel with your own vehicle. Overall, a very good place to stay."

Leonardo Hotel Galway

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed for two nights. The location is perfect to be in all of the action. The Spanish Arch is literally across the street. And it nestles along the river. The attached parking garage is ideal and the validate for a discount. (Two nights was 24 EU). The room was comfortable and the A/C much appreciated. The front desk was super helpful. We did the breakfast the morning we checked out. It was okay. Nothing too exciting. But, if you are wanted the authentic full Irish breakfast then here you go! We really appreciated being in the perfect spot to walk around and enjoy all the pubs and restaurants. Would definitely stay here on our next Galway visit!!"
