Room was cozy and the bed was comfortable enough. I had to rate the staff 1 star because there are no staff. I'm sure there are housekeepers because the property was clean. Hopefully the housekeepers are paid well as there's no desk agents on the payroll.

Great location
Great location and very clean and nice, but if there is anything happening at the nearby club, it is loud at night. Like, so loud there were complimentary ear plugs in the room. In other nights, it was absolutely perfect.

Loved Galway!
The location was fantastic, close to all of the shopping, eating and sightseeing, but also close enough to walk to the grocery store. The room is VERY tight quarters so being able to getting clothes in & out of suitcases/getting ready to go out or get into bed was a little rough.

Avoid! unless you want your vacation ruined!
Where do I start? I emailed the property (through Hotels.com and at info@agtownhouse.ie) asking if I could drop my luggage or check in at 2pm (check in was specified at 3pm). I never got a reply. I checked in after 3pm, got my keycard and left my luggage in the room. I checked the room and there was mold in the shower, hairs on the floor, and in the nespresso machine, mug rings on the night table, and the shower leaking into the bathroom floor. I had to use the mat to mop up the water and avoid a mess on the floor. The next day I left the room thinking that since this is a hotel, my room would be cleaned, the bed made, trash would be removed - all the proper housekeeping from a hotel. But no, I returned later and found the room unmade. I sent a WhatsApp message and left a voice message asking for clean towels, clean mugs. Their reply was that per their policy (nowhere described) they do not service the rooms on reservations of 3 days or more unless requested. Since it was after ours, nothing could be done at the time. They said they would make sure the room was serviced the next day and I would get the required items. Next day I sent a reminder message for towels, mat, mugs, glass, mold in the shower. I returned to the room later that afternoon to find the items I requested, BUT the bed unmade. I contacted them and was told as per their policy they do what guests request and nothing more! They pride on the location and nespresso machine but there's more to a good hotel

Central location
Having read some reviews I was hesitant to stay here. I usually look at the worst reviews and disregard most of them. I really do not like to give bad reviews having some properties of my own. Unfortunately I cannot give this place a 5/5. Pros: Clean ,central position and comfortable mattress. Rooms were more than adequate in size. Cons: Pillows were the worst I have come across. Another guest described them as logs and I do have to agree that this is 100% accurate. The room was so hot it made it sleeping impossible. Even with the window wide open , heating off and the fan going the minimum temp was 23 degrees. More than 2 coat hangers needed to travellers trying to dry washing

The room was cute and clean with a coffee maker and tv. We didn't see any staff while we were there and the check in is self check in but it all went smoothly. The area around is a bit quiet but is very close to the main areas so you just need to walk a minute or two to find something!

Room was fine albeit very small and only good for short stays. No place to put your suitcase. check in easy. Paper thin walls though and could hear people banging about coming back drunk at 4:00 am. Not their fault but incredibly loud outside as we were there for Friday and Saturday night. Couldn’t sleep due to noise. Good location for getting to Latin quarter and shopping but with that comes noise. We were there for two nights and no one cleaned the room.
