“The location makes exploring Galway on foot a real pleasure, and the recently updated interiors are a definite plus; rooms include thoughtful touches like a mini-fridge and kettle, adding convenience. While breakfast isn't included, the proximity to the city center more than compensates. A solid choice for independent travellers.”
