Incredible location, good facilities and wonderful pub downstairs with live music every night. The staff were friendly and helpful in case you need recommendations. Lift to rooms, situated close to the shops, all the good pubs/restaurants as well as the river and the bay which can all be explored easily on foot. We got lucky with the weather so were able to do it all. Food nearby is pretty much all great and the Thai place around the corner was a wonderful surprise, unassuming and basic on the outside, gorgeous on the inside. We got a bit concerned reading other comments about parking but honestly don't get what people are moaning about. Such a location could not possibly have offered anything different. The discount on parking is great (2 nights/3 days for 20ish euro). We were in a big SUV and decided to opt for the car park that's 4 minute walk away as it looked more generous but when we walked by the one that was closer to the hotel it didn't look that bad and we could have managed that too. If you've driven/lived in a city, you'll be fine. Really didn't mind the aspects that others have complained about for the sake of being right in the middle of it all. Loved it. Loved Galway - could have spent many more days there.

If you're with family at a busy time and need quiet overnight, this is not the place for you. There was a bit of noise at night from people in the street and also in the morning from delivery trucks etc but we were mostly unbothered as it was cool so we had to have the windows closed and we were there on a Monday and Tuesday so it wasn't too busy. The rooms are small and there are almost no places to hang wet jackets etc. so that was a bit of a pain but to be honest, we were happy to sacrifice space in order to be in such a great location. The only thing I would say is a proper negative is the shower was pretty weak which is always disappointing when you want a good strong shower.

The hotel and room were very well finished too a high standard The room was bright and well decorated, great styling. The bathroom was modern and fresh. The front of house staff booking in and check out were helpful and friendly. The pub that the hotel was part of was good, had a great meal in there. Many thanks. 👍👍

3 small gripes... more personal choice, I found the beds to be ok but my partner she was uncomfortable, the shower was a little underpowered but I like a fire hose kind of shower. This last one is no reflection on the hotel, but the parking they recommend, if you have no patience or a larger car you will leave with memory's but will also leave behind paint work... very tight, not very well laid out.

From the time we arrived at the Résidence Hotel to be greeted by a friendly staff member at the Reception Desk our two night stay at the Hotel exceeded expectations. The room was extremely comfortable and clean with modern and contemporary decor. It is in a wonderful location right on Quay Street with pubs and restaurants literally on our doorstep and within simple walking distance of many other Galway attractions.

The noise from the nearby pubs was a little loud but we were warned of this by the hotel and it didn’t spoil our drag there at all.

Lovely staff! Jasmine and Cara were exceptional! Comfortable beds and a Nespresso in the room.

If you want to be in a location with close proximity to the nightlife Galway has to offer, then this is your place. You could not ask for a better location. A few blocks from the train station as well. There is a restaurant and pub with live music adjacent to the hotel. My first room was rather noisy at night, but Jasmine then put me on the back side of hotel, and it was much better. You will be happy to know that there is an elevator (lift) so you don't have to carry your luggage up the stairs.

The location of this hotel is awesome for first time visitors in Galway. The area is very walkable! The pub downstairs is great and the parking garage is close to the hotel. The hotel is in an old and charming building.

The beds were creaky twin beds pushed together to make a queen. I slept comfortably but my partner did not. The bed was creaky and worn out.

Location was not only beautiful it was unbeatable, right at the start of the most heart of Galway. Shared a wall with a pub with trad music, coffee shop a few doors down- everywhere you turned there was iconic historic attractions just outside the door. The rooms are large and lush, as are the bathrooms. The bed was big and comfortable with floor to ceiling windows. We loved our time here, and the staff was warm, accommodating and friendly!

Staff was amazing! So friendly and accommodating! They made you feel welcomed and appreciated. The room totally matched our expectations. The location was phenomenal! Right on the main pedestrian street!

Could use more fans. We were there during a heatwave. Opening the windows didn’t help for 2 reasons: 1) There was no breeze so just still, hot air 2) our window was on the first floor overlooking the pedestrian street so it was very loud until the bars closed and then in the morning when the delivery truck came thru.

Location was absolutely the best, right at the beginning of Quay St. the hotel has been redone, and it is modern and well appointed. The glass windows are sound-proof. Excellent blow dryer. They provide fans, since apparently there is no a/c. Fair amount of electrical outlets. Good and comfortable bathroom with good water pressure.

Location is great, but Quay St is THE party street, so it is very noisy (the front rooms) til wee hours of the morning, and then at 6am the clatter of bottles being picked up by the garbage trucks and kegs being replaced is VERY annoying. The sound-proof windows keep most of the noise out, but then the room gets stuffy. The towels need to be upgraded.

The hotel is in a very good location, on a street of pubs and restaurants, with not traffic. The room is very nice. Parking is right next to the hotel. The night reception person and the morning reception person - both nice and practical

Shower water stream was weak and took 2 minutes to get hot water. Parking per night was 16 Euro. The music from the next door pub was heard until 2 AM (not very loud)

Excellent location for those who love music and lively streets. It sits on top of an amazing, historical pub with great musicians. The artwork and style of the room were creative and had a hint of luxery without compromising comfort.

Minor: but there isn't a mini fridge (which doesn't seem common in the area) - so it's hard to keep leftovers or personal beverages cold. Also, maybe not ideal for light sleepers but we didn't notice any issues.
