Very nice room, comfortable and close to everything. The windows are on the actual sidewalk so it can get a little noisy if people are having loud conversations while walking by. Since there is no A/C, during Summer you need to open the windows. Otherwise, the noise would not bother you with the windows close.

The property is conveniently located close to everything. Unfortunately there’s no way to leave your luggage there if you arrive prior to check in but there are a few paid luggage storage places near the train & bus stations. Would definitely stay there again.

We had such a wonderful time here! A little bit odd at first as there are no physical workers everything is done through a check in screen at the front but a very beautiful property a 7 minute walk from the town center. Very clean and easy to access the train station, bus station and all meeting spots for tours to the Cliffs of Moher/Connemara!

The property is clean, check in is straight forward, and the beds were fine. Reason for not giving five stars is the noise. During the day, instrumental music plays loudly in the hallways and is heard clearly in our room on the first floor. Luckily they turn it off during the night, but if you want to take a mid day nap it’s quite annoying. Also, every time someone opened and closed the main door, it loudly shook our room door, so much so that we thought people were breaking into our room during the night. Otherwise we had a pleasant stay.

No way to choose a room that I could tell so ours was right by the only entry door with a ground floor window to the street. We paid well over $300 a night for it. The room was nice, basic but fine. Very clean . Good bathroom.

The automatic check in machine wasn't working so it didn't print out room cards . I couldn't get into my room . When I phoned the help line I was told that someone would be there in 15 mins . 45 mins later someone did arrive . The problem was sorted but again later that night I couldn't get into my room 🙃. I had to check in again to get another room card. The help line was not answered when I called . However the room itself was nice , clean and comfortable. The location in town is good and the price was reasonable 👌.

The place was clean and comfortable and the ear plugs were a nice touch. It would be helpful to have a shelf in shower to hold personal shower products and a shelf at small sink for tooth brush etc. enjoyed stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at Woodquay Townhouse in Galway. It was very clean, updated and cozy. The staffless checkin went very smoothly. We were given clear concise directions prior to arrival on how to get into the property and then once inside we were able to follow the touchscreen directions on how to get our key. It was an extremely easy process. The hotel was located in a great spot and a public parking lot ($10 per day) was very close. My only concern with this hotel is that once we arrived in Galway we had two questions for the staff. I sent them two messages and no one ever replied or got back to us with help. Other then that it was a great place to stay.

Great location. Easy check in. Cosy cute room. But, when we checked in, while it was clean it smelled really badly as if it had been cleaned with smelly mop/cloth. Once we opened the windows and aired out the room it was fine in a few hours. Our room wasn’t re-made after the first night. We didn’t get fresh towels, so small things tk improve on.

As checking in the room key machine would not work we stood there for a half hour even longer trying to call the support phone no one would answer we finally got a hold of them and we did end up getting our key but it’s not worth standing around waiting that long after a long road trip down, the room was a little cold and there was so way to change the temperature and found a small bug in the bed, it’s in a good area and didn’t get too loud tho that’s the good thing about staying here

Lovely room and kind staff

I had a very comfortable stay at The Woodquay Townhouse. Upon my arrival I did meet Liam who was extremely kind and helpful. There isn't concierge service, but if you do get to meet a staff member, they are lovely. Everything was clean, the bed was very comfortable and the room was lovely. It's not central, which I found to be a plus as it can get very noisy downtown. It takes about 10-20 minutes to walk to the city-center.

the self-check in and out was easy to do via a kiosk. the place had some nice restaurants within walking distance. it was also easy to walk down to the main sites. the only problem with not having a person on site is not getting problems resolved. we were having problems connecting to the internet we tried multiple times trying to connect. when we tried reaching out to them i could not get my WhatsApp to respond. and when trying to call it just rang and couldn't leave a voice message. i tried reach out to the through the Expedia app where we had communicated previously. i just go an AI message and that i would get a response within their next available hours. which they never did. we ended up not having any internet service during our stay.

Tricky check-in that needed internet access, no A/C, no parking, uncomfortable beds, did not feel safe, no amenities. Close walk to town. No hotel staff on site. Overall dissatisfied with the stay - the online info was misleading and omitted info. Would not recommend unless you have no other option for a place to stay.
