Found this place on Instagram and it turned out to be the best hotel I could’ve picked. It was in the perfect location, so many things all around it, so close to the Christmas festival in the train station. Really enjoyed staying the night here. 10/10 recommend for solo travelers.

The location is EXCELLENT, right in Quay center where all the pubs and shops are. Everything in is walking distance. About a 5 min walk to the Spanish Arc. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful with questions. The room was very clean. The only downside was that the bed was quite uncomfortable… but honestly, we only stayed a night and otherwise this spot was perfect.

Great location in Galway and close to everything you need! Despite the loud noises late at night due to being so close to a pub this was fine if you are aware before you book and do your research and in the end the noise wasn't as bad as we first thought it would be so overall a great trip and great hotel! Would stay again

Though squarely in the centre of the busiest area of Galway, the moment you close the door The Snug is quiet, warm and inviting.

I would definitely stay at The Snug again! The location is really convenient, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the rooms are adorable. Yes, they are truly snug, but they have perfect storage and space for two travelers. Being on Quay street means lots of loud noise outside m, but if you know that going in, it’s really not much of a bother.

The Snug Townhouse was the perfect place to stay in Galway. As you step out the front door you are greeted by the Bronze Galway Girl. Restaurants, Pubs and shopping literally steps away. The staff had great recommendations for dinner places that were top notch! If you want to immerse yourself into the heart of Galway I would highly recommend this place!!!

A little Snug but did the trick

The name of the hotel describes the rooms - snug - but you are not in Galway for the room. The location and service are excellent.

Great staff. Great location. Room was very clean. The only negatives were the noise from the street, but we knew about that going in. Its worth staying here for a night just to party in the Latin Quarter.

Great location

Location amazing. It is loud as the bar is open until 2am across the street but the leave ear plugs in the room for you. Easy to walk to from the bus station. We had the family room so lots of space, the other rooms may be very snug.
