Positive: good looking space, nice washrooms and great location. Cons: Horrid mattresses - you can feel the individual springs and the hotel has no extra duvets or something to help you pad the mattress. It’s not clear in the description but this hotel is on top of and near many bars - they provide ear plugs to block out the noise. Would be a great stay if not for the mattress - the worst sleep we had while in Ireland.

You simply cannot beat this location. You are truly in thw heart of Galway and step out to all the shops and restaurants. The room are small (hence the name), but are well maintained and have everything you need to be comfortable. There is storage in the room for your personal items during your stay.

Cute small hotel in a great location. That being said, it’s extremely loud, so sadly if you plan on sleeping before the bars close at 3am, good luck. Oh, and no elevator, so pack light.

This is the perfect location for a solo or couple traveling wanting to experience Galway to the fullest without any hassle. The car park was right next door and easy to find. The hotel itself was surrounded by dining and drinking locations all within just a few minute walk. Convenience and ease of access made this stay unique compared to any other city in Ireland. Galway ended up being my favorite place to visit among all the major destinations in Ireland and The Snug Townhouse helped exceed expectations.

This property followed the wisdom of Maya Angelou, when people (or in this case a hotel) tells you who they are believe them! This is a stylish, centrally located, clean hotel with very friendly staff. The rooms are exactly as advertised - snug. The area is lively, colourful, and full of spirit!!!! That said - we had to leave on the first night. The pub across the street plays music until late and despite provided ear plugs - it is incredibly loud. Staff were accommodating, moving us to another room that unfortunately had some consistent mechanical noise forcing us to pack a bag at 1:00am and search out another hotel. But that is really our bad, this hotel is a perfect fit for heavy sleepers, late night aficionados, or those looking to party the night away only to tumble into a comfy little burrow at 3am. It just was not for this light sleeper. So when a business says we are snug and located in the heart of the party district - believe it!!

This was an really cool hotel smack in the middle of the Latin Quarter. Incredibly convenient for the whole street of pubs and very close to great walking paths along the bay and the canals. The only reason it's losing stars is because some of the wall mounted fixtures could be done better, but honestly if you're not an architect you probably won't be bothered.

Good Location but Little Sleep
The Snug was conveniently located and they were kind enough to send us details on where to go for off site paid parking. The shower was hot. Unfortunately the bed was not very comfortable and it was very loud. Even with the provided earplugs in I was not able to sleep though my partner who is a heavy sleeper slept ok. I think we would have been better staying on a higher floor as there were businesses doing some work to close at around 2AM that was directly outside our ground level window. Unfortunately we were encouraged to take the ground level accessible room due to our luggage which fit fine under the bed so the additional space was not needed.

Confined, but convenient
Very “snug” indeed! Conveniently located on the main strip in Galway. No elevators, but staff did carry up our luggage for us, which was helpful. Bed is tucked away in the corner, so you do have to crawl in, but it was comfortable. Since it is on the Main Street, it’s a little noisy at night, but they provided ear plugs which helped a lot! Not a lot of room for bags, but for a few nights, it did the job for the two of us.

While the room was small, it was clean and comfortable. It is located on a busy, pedestrian only street with a lot of restaurants, pubs, and shops. You could hear the noise from the street through the window, but I enjoyed hearing the festivities. If you want a very quiet location, this may not be the place for you.
