It's right in the heart of where you'd want to be in Galway. The 54 sq ft room we had was postgraduate for sleeping and getting clean. The shower was great! The staff was more than helpful with suggestions for dining or sightseeing. They really were terrific.
The Snug Townhouse has been my absolute favorite location so far where we have stayed in Ireland. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in the Spanish quarter. The staff was excellent, attentive and welcoming.
Cute little boutique hotel central in the Latin Quarter. Very convenient but it comes with a price. The noise from partying continues until staff is setting up the next day and the garbage trucks arrive (even on a Sunday night). We had a total of 2 hours sleep over the 2 nights we were there. Great location for those who aren’t bothered by loud noise.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Property was in pedestrian entertainment district among bars with outdoor seating and live music, very noisy until after 12:30AM. Window treatments did not keep out all the bright streetlights and the bed was against three walls so that the inside occupant had to crawl over the outside occupant to get out. Providing earplugs with each room was not a good solution. Notice about the noisy environment should have been provided along with all other property details.

Noisy uncomfortable hotel
The Snug Townhouse is situated in the center of the loudest pub/restaurant area. The street noise was intolerable decibel level which crescendoed at 2am On weekends and on weekdays ended at around midnight.
When the bars close, the party moves to the street.
Then the noise picks up again at 6 am with garbage collection, street cleaners. We heard it all :/
Small rooms with nowhere to hang clothing or towels.
Stair cases are steep and narrow.
Beds are not comfortable.
We would not stay there again.
Overall clean .. very small.. nice area..did not clean bathroom after our first night but did leave new towels.. picture of room is much larger than what we had..we nicknamed our rooms "the closet"., for the price it was good!
The rooms befit the hotel name; they are very small but efficiently laid out and well suited to travellers. The nearby parking garage at Spanish Arch is also quite tight, but conveniently located. Pack light, there is no elevator. I would stay here again.
Right in the heart of shops and pubs of Galway. A bit noisey but the windows are thick to block out most noise. Modern and updated and very friendly staff.
Perfect location as long as you’re okay with it being super super loud from street noise alllll night long. And again early morning when the cleanup & trash trucks come through. Lots of stairs, so heads up if you have lots of luggage. They provide earplugs, and you’ll need them. Personally, I liked being in the thick of it.
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.
