Top Ashford Castle Hotel Reviews

The Snug Townhouse

10/10 Excellent

"Room was small but absolutely perfect for three nights. You simply cannot get a better location to be right in the heart of the Latin quarter. Yes it can be a little loud, but we knew that by reading reviews beforehand and they also gave us earplugs. If you’re a light sleeper this isn’t the place for you maybe, but the location is absolutely perfection and the staff was amazing. Will absolutely always choose this place when in Galway"
