Galway is a large city. The hotel is down a small alley, not one you can drive down and drop off your bags. I had messaged the property about parking but had no idea where to go. A little directions would have been helpful. I double parked on the road to drop off my bags, visiting from the states, I was in a panic as to where to go. It was the final straw that I wanted to go home. My daughter said it reminded her of a "pay by the hour hotel". It would be good for someone who travels with just a backpack and has no problem with crowds and a party environment. It could have been nice if I had expected the large city, not near the harbor as stated. I knew where to go, direction where not clear and there is a small sign for the hotel. Best of luck. I do not think I will ever travel to Galway again.
