Amazing Boutique Hotel
Amazing boutique hotel! The rooms are perfect for 2. Contemporary and very comfortable. And it's an easy walk to the Quay, but far enough away from the crowds. Plus, the staff was great. Highly recommended.

new hotel in Galway next to Erye Square
Brand new Hotel. I’m used to staying in older modified hotels all across Ireland . This place is fun and modern. Meant for the business travel of girls trip . Rooftop bar is beautiful. If you are looking for old quaint Ireland go somewhere else. This is a beautiful hotel with bars / pool/gym and wonderful hotel staff

Stayed for 3 nights. Room very was clean and comfortable. Roughly 15 minutes walk to Latin quarter, 10 to the train station. Only downside is that rooms are not soundproof so the comfort quality comes down to your neighbours.
Would recommend

lively decor, good location and great staff. wish we had a chance to use the pool but the bar and coffee shop were lovely. rooms are a little snug if you’ve got a lot of luggage and some towels were a bit beaten/threadbare, those were the only small drawbacks. would stay again!
