Pros

Multiple restaurants within 1640.4 ft, including Friars Restaurant and Marcos Cafe

Central location near Salmon Weir Bridge and Galway Bay

Private entrances for all rooms ensure independent access

Part of the largest independent coffee chain in the West of Ireland

Cons

51 mile distance from the nearest airport

1 mile from the city center attractions

“Mocha Newcastle's location near the university and walkable proximity to Galway's attractions is a definite plus for solo travelers; the on-site café and nearby Tesco add practical convenience. However, noise and parking present real challenges, and some may find the external bathroom configuration less than ideal, so consider those tradeoffs carefully.”
