Look, the rooms are small. Don’t expect a ton of space but the hotel is literally named “snug” so. On another note, it’s clean, comfortable, and everything a solo traveler would need.

Excellent location, easy checkin . Very clean. I would suggest that it strongly note that the townhouse for four people requires a lot of stairs which would be impossible for anyone with a disability. Overall for us it was great

This hotel is located right I. The middle of Quay street close to all the activities. In fact it’s directly across from the Quays Bar which is convenient but also noisy. The bar opens late so the noise doesn’t come down until after 2 AM. Our room faces the street and we had to use the provided ear plugs. Other rooms not on the Quay street may be quieter. Our room was simple but was clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly too. Would stay again and ask for a quieter room.

Staff really nice, great location (though I can see why the reviews say it can be loud). Room so small you couldn’t swing a cat in there, but for the price that’s not a complaint. Would be pretty small for two people sharing though! Definitely “snug”. The shower was AMAZING! For price and location I’d definitely recommend.

The room was snug as the hotel name suggests but very cosy, spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for an overnight business stay. The reception staff were amazing, very friendly and knowledgeable about the local area with what to see and do, the price was also right and we will stay again as we felt it was in the heart of the action in Galway city, excellent!

Right in the Latin Quarter. Very noisy at night and in the morning we listened to the conversation of the couple right next to our room. Note there is no elevator and we were up 3 staircases. Reception did offer to help us with our suitcases. No parking on site but was close by. Parking lot was super tight to get in and park but you get a discount so only 12 euros for 24 hours. Hard to pull suitcases across cobblestone. Tiny room but clean and well organized.

An ideal location for a social weekend in Galway. Everything is within walking distance & you are amongst the hustle & bustle, looking out over The Quays Bar, yet the room itself was not noisy (very good windows).
The room was lovely and clean & the staff were very friendly. I would definitely stay here again.

Found this place on Instagram and it turned out to be the best hotel I could’ve picked. It was in the perfect location, so many things all around it, so close to the Christmas festival in the train station. Really enjoyed staying the night here. 10/10 recommend for solo travelers.
