This place is really in the centre of the city, close to pubs, restaurants, the river, the cathedral and the university as well. There was self check-in at the accommodation. Soon after our booking we already got information about how it works and as our arrival date came closer, we got more notification and information. It was easy to use. We had two rooms at the first floor, both was great. One room was mentioned as small during booking but actually it was bit bigger than we expected, it was definitely ok for sleeping. The rooms exactly look like they are shown on the website. It was clean, equipped with all necessary tools. Liam, who contacted us, was helpful. He replied for our messages very soon, and after the internet was damaged, they tried to solve the problem as soon as they could.

The bathrooms were very clean, and the staff were incredibly helpful. They had discounts with nearby businesses which when travelling on a budget is very helpful. In a great location, about 10 minutes walk from both Eyre Square, and Galway Cathedral (in opposite directions).
