2-night break - comfortable
Nice place. Conveniently situated in the Latin Quarter, right in the middle of all the action. My only concern was that the bed was right up against the wall, so I had to clamber over my partner to get out to go to the bathroom. Other than that, the room/bathroom was lovely.

Stayed in 2 rooms -- 3 in one, 2 in the other. Many review have mentioned the "smallness" -- I'm not sure what they are referring to. There's a large bathroom, a vanity table/desk, a wall couch that goes the length of the bedroom area and the 2nd bed is lofted. Plenty of space for my husband, 16 year old daughter, 3 suitcases and 3 backpacks. The stairs were narrow and a little complicated to maneuver, but we were offered help immediately to assist with our bags when we arrived (we didn't need it). The location is poppin'! Lively and happening, you cannot beat the location. We had to park in a nearby car park (which if you don't have rolling suitcases might be challenging) which we were given a half price ticket for. There is a little street noise (aka revealers) but it didn't keep us from sleeping. (There are earplugs in the room.) I'd absolutely stay again. Prime spot for everything! Front desk folks were welcoming. Thank you for a great one night stay!

Sung Hotel Sucks!!!
The first night was spent in a small 10x10 room where the bed was against the wall on 3 sides, and the music from Quay St lasted until 2:30a…couldn’t sleep - then when we finally got to sleep, the trash truck came by at 6:30a…needless to say - crappy night’s sleep and crappy room. But it gets worse - we asked for a quieter room and they moved us to an even smaller room that was like sleeping in a phone booth. The bed was nestled in on 3 and 3/4 sides with walls and you literally had to crawl in and out of bed. Top that off with only one person could stand and get dressed at a time…hell, I had a pop-up camper that was roomier than the one they put us in. Steer clear of the Sung Hotel unless you like to be snug standing, sleeping, or showering…most definitely not worth staying at.

This hotel is fairly nice and clean, but we did not enjoy the intense noisiness from the street, which lasted until ~3:00am. The proximity to tourist shops and restaurants is good, but the constant noise outside late at night was very shocking and disruptive, especially considering we had to wake up quite early the following day and spent most of it with only 2-3 hours of sleep. Our AC machine was also broken and made very loud noises throughout the night. This was stressful because we could not open the windows due to the noise outside, but also could not turn on the AC because it would randomly start making big banging sounds at night and we could not turn it off. The staff did not offer help with regard to the noises outside. The noise issues should perhaps be advertised/noted somewhere in the booking. Beyond this, the towels were also quite small and our room was located up many flights of stairs. These were small issues, but compounded with the extreme noise, this stay was not ideal. We would not recommend staying in this hotel if you enjoy sleep. If you want to have a wild night, this may be the place.

Great, clean and modern hotel and amazing location right in the action of the pedestrian area of Galway. Only downside is room is very tiny with no windows making it feel claustrophobic.

I loved this hotel!!! The location is perfect, right in the centre of the action and yet it wasn’t loud at all. The room was so clean and so cute, I wish we were there more nights just because I loved the room so much! All the staff were so friendly and very helpful, giving us recommendations for places to eat and things to see. I felt so comfortable in this hotel, I would absolutely stay here again. One thing to note is there is no elevator so be prepared to lug your suitcase up the stairs :)

Although the room itself was tinier than I expected, it was plenty for us to be able to relax and enjoy our evening after a long day of tourism. The staff was exceptionally nice and accommodating. They were helpful beyond measure, and when asked for extra shampoo, they immediately left what they were doing to accommodate us.

Things are snug at The Snug!
It was really nice, clean and modern. It was right in the action, and yet our room was super quiet. It was very very small, that is the only thing I can say as a negative. I’m super claustrophobic and I had a hard time not letting the tight space get in my head. The name says it all! If you don't mind small spaces and you just plan to sleep, this is perfect.
This is the room, small bathroom off to the right.
