    Pros +

    • Location. Short walk to Eyre square
    • The room was very nice -- seemed to have been updated fairly recently. The location was perfect for what we needed.
    • Very walkable to the Galway City Centre. The owner was very friendly and informative. Great views. Very clean and comfortable. Cute cat in the back garden. Very short drive to gym and grocery store. Easy access to get to M6 to Dublin.

    Cons -

    • No breakfast. Very impersonal. Expensive.
    • The water pressure was awful, basically a trickle of water so it took what would have been a very quick shower at least double the time in order to wash shampoo out of my hair. Parking being an extra ¿15 wasn't great, but I understand.
    • The water pressure for the shower was rather weak... but that's a real nitpick of an otherwise excellent stay.

    The room we had was on the third floor, it was quiet and clean. We really liked the window view of the harbor.

    The water pressure in the shower was really weak but it was sort of expected being on the third floor.

    Also this is a very small place and when guests arrived they were very loud. . She also called me on my cell to say she needed the money apond my arrival. . Ok lady I get it. I would not recommend this place. I never felt comfortable at this place! Sorry

    After traveling for many hours. The long walk up the ramp to the place then a flight of stairs. No washcloths for 3 days the towels were gray in color and and has springs. I have pics. She insisted on the cash money the monument we got in the door.
