Great value
Great location and quality of accommodation. Self check in was super quick and easy too. Only issue we found was our window faced onto the bins area, so was noisy and a bit of a smell when we left the window open, plus no view of course. Great price though, would stay again

Highly recommend!
Very happy with our stay in Abbeygate Townhouse. The rooms were spotless and fresh. In an excellent location we were only a 5-7 min walk from eyre square. Although this hotel is self check in it is very easy to carry out and when there was a problem with the key card machine there was a lovely man there within 10 minutes who helped us and was very friendly and professional. The beds were like a cloud of air to sleep in. All together a wonderful stay and I would 100% recommend to others. We will definitely be back.

Great little place! Only complaints are it was hard to sleep because the mattress was hard, and the towels left fuzz all over us when we dried off from taking a shower.

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.

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.

Great location, close to city centre. Super easy kiosk check-in. Only downside to the accommodation was the lack of hot water in the shower, otherwise thought this was great.

The shower water was scalding. It was impossible to take a shower. There was no parking included in the stay. Parking across the street was an additional 20 pounds for the day. The person above us- room 102 had heavy feet. The walking started at 12pm and went on. Perhaps they could walk lighter if ppl are below.
The location was great.

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.

Be careful with the automated checkin
The automated check-in process needs work. Somebody standing behind me or even on the street outside could have seen my personal details including full date of birth in a VERY large font on a large screen. Totally unnecessary.

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!
