Top hotels in Latin Quarter
Leonardo Hotel Galway
This was an easy check in and check out process. The staff had amazing recommendations for things to do in Galway and restaurants. Right of Quay and not a far walk from the bus/train station. Highly recommend

The Snug Townhouse
Our room was very small. There was a bed and the room surrounded the bed. If you are staying with another person, there is no space to sit which was especially hard because my husband and I wake up at different times.
