Positive: good looking space, nice washrooms and great location. Cons: Horrid mattresses - you can feel the individual springs and the hotel has no extra duvets or something to help you pad the mattress. It’s not clear in the description but this hotel is on top of and near many bars - they provide ear plugs to block out the noise. Would be a great stay if not for the mattress - the worst sleep we had while in Ireland.

Cute small hotel in a great location. That being said, it’s extremely loud, so sadly if you plan on sleeping before the bars close at 3am, good luck. Oh, and no elevator, so pack light.

Great location but be ready for some noise as it’s near several pubs. Very walkable area and we loved our time in Galway! The staff was very friendly and helpful.

This is the perfect location for a solo or couple traveling wanting to experience Galway to the fullest without any hassle. The car park was right next door and easy to find. The hotel itself was surrounded by dining and drinking locations all within just a few minute walk. Convenience and ease of access made this stay unique compared to any other city in Ireland. Galway ended up being my favorite place to visit among all the major destinations in Ireland and The Snug Townhouse helped exceed expectations.

This property followed the wisdom of Maya Angelou, when people (or in this case a hotel) tells you who they are believe them! This is a stylish, centrally located, clean hotel with very friendly staff. The rooms are exactly as advertised - snug. The area is lively, colourful, and full of spirit!!!! That said - we had to leave on the first night. The pub across the street plays music until late and despite provided ear plugs - it is incredibly loud. Staff were accommodating, moving us to another room that unfortunately had some consistent mechanical noise forcing us to pack a bag at 1:00am and search out another hotel. But that is really our bad, this hotel is a perfect fit for heavy sleepers, late night aficionados, or those looking to party the night away only to tumble into a comfy little burrow at 3am. It just was not for this light sleeper. So when a business says we are snug and located in the heart of the party district - believe it!!

We loved this cute little boutique hotel. It was clean, well maintained and the vibe just cool! Great location in the heart of all the fun. It does get a little loud in the evening but it is all part of the fun!

This was an really cool hotel smack in the middle of the Latin Quarter. Incredibly convenient for the whole street of pubs and very close to great walking paths along the bay and the canals. The only reason it's losing stars is because some of the wall mounted fixtures could be done better, but honestly if you're not an architect you probably won't be bothered.

You’re definitely in the action of Quay St. in this area. Everyone was very hospitable and the rooms were very nice and modern. It’s a great stay if you want to enjoy Galway night life.

Great location, its in the heart of everything. Hotel was very clean and the staff wonderful. Downside is there is a lot of street noise if your room is on that side. Avoid room #7 at all cost, its directly over the entrance door and street noise, doublewhammy. Ear pugs help.

Location was amazing. So many restaurants and shopping at your doorstep. The river with a scenic path just steps away. it was the smallest room we stayed in during our 3 weeks of travel. Only one person has room to get dressed at a time. Luggage has to go under bed in order to have room to walk. However, worth it for location if staying a few nights.

It was a really cool place with modern amenities as far as many plug outlets, bath and shower supplies. It was a little small for our liking but that is was they offer! It is right in there by all the action. Staff was very helpful.

Wonderful location, right in the middle of active and fun Galway. The third floor was completely quiet in spite of the merriment and music on the nearby streets. It's well run and well taken care of, and though the rooms are quite small, they're cozy and make the most of the limited space. No elevator, though, just stairs, so best choice for the able-bodied and energetic.

Cute little boutique hotel central in the Latin Quarter. Very convenient but it comes with a price. The noise from partying continues until staff is setting up the next day and the garbage trucks arrive (even on a Sunday night). We had a total of 2 hours sleep over the 2 nights we were there. Great location for those who aren’t bothered by loud noise.
