We loved the location! The room setup was “snug”, but it did not hinder us in anyway and it was so clean and well set up. The staff was very helpful with finding us a laundromat.

The Snug Townhouse was the perfect spot to kick off my trip to Ireland. Being right in the heart of the Latin Corner was perfect for walking to food, whether a great brunch at Dela or to a local pub for a drink. Highly recommend for solo travellers.

Very cozy and comfy little room with a nice skylight to wake up with natural light to. Smack-dab in the middle of the tourist area which had major pros, since it was a short walk to everything we wanted to try and a short walk from the bus and train station. Room was well-insulated from the noise and music of the area. Would recommend for any tourists!

This hotel is extremely well located in the middle of Galway's vibrating heart, but the rooms are very small. Still, the bed was comfortable and it was very clean. The personnel was very attentive and helpful.
