    great location but some noise

    The location is fantastic, right at the heart of the lively Quay Street. The comfortable room made our stay enjoyable, and having live music downstairs added to the vibrant atmosphere. The city view from our window was also a lovely bonus.

    However, street noise could be heard at night.

    The Residence offered a fantastic stay for my business trip. The location is superb, allowing easy access to key meetings and dining options.

The room was well-appointed, providing a comfortable bed and great amenities, which made my nights restful and rejuvenating. The complimentary coffee machine was a nice touch, adding a bit of luxury to my mornings.

    The vibrant atmosphere of the hotel, combined with striking artwork and a cozy room, made my stay truly enjoyable. However, the outside noise from nearby pubs was quite intrusive during the late hours.

    local seafood
    live music
    central location
    small room
    ordinary staff

    Galway’s culinary scene is incredible! You gotta hit The Quay Street Kitchen for some local delights—think fresh seafood that'll make your taste buds dance! The location is prime, smack in the heart of all the action. Also, this spot features a lively bar downstairs with cracking live music every night, adding to the vibrant atmosphere.

    Alright, here’s the kicker, the rooms are a tad small—just a bed crammed in there. If you’re tall, be prepared for some foot dangling off the mattress! Plus, a cheeky early check-in fee adds to the expense sting. Didn't really vibe with the front desk staff either.

    live music
    dog-friendly
    weak shower

    We loved the vibrant atmosphere and the central location. It’s perfect for exploring spots like the Spanish Arch and yummy food places that are just a stroll away. Our three dogs enjoyed their stay too! The pub downstairs was a highlight with live music every night.

    In my wife’s opinion, the shower could use a bit more power.

    Ready, Set, Regret (Or Not! )

    Great location! Excitement surrounds you with lively music and vibrant streets. While I cherished the atmosphere, the noise from the bar made sleeping a challenge. My room was stylishly decorated and cozy, perfect for exploration but not ideal for light sleepers. Parking can be tricky, but it was convenient for access to the city.

    cozy breakfast
    snug room

    We enjoyed live music at the pub downstairs and the great breakfast options helped kickstart our mornings. The room was cozy but a bit snug for our family, so just keep that in mind if you're traveling with more than 2 people. 😊

    Great Location for Exploring Galway, But Prepare for Noise

    We stayed for 3 nights in a Standard Double Room. The lively neighborhood is fun, but the constant noise from the bar below made it hard to sleep. Tip, If you're sensitive to noise, request a room on a higher floor. Great access to local restaurants!
