The Snug Townhouse
An ideal location for a social weekend in Galway. Everything is within walking distance & you are amongst the hustle & bustle, looking out over The Quays Bar, yet the room itself was not noisy (very good windows). The room was lovely and clean & the staff were very friendly. I would definitely stay ...
