- Fiona (9/5): Great spot - Comfortable and lovely terrace on ground floor
- Marilynn (10/5): I would happily stay here again! - Location was perfect. It was very comfortable, very clean. Everything was good
- Tetiana (10/5): - Сподобався номер. Все чисто. Все супер. Навпроти супермаркет и два паби.
- Ieva (9/5): -
- Yoeri (10/5): Uitstekend verblijf - Het personeel was bijzonder vriendelijk en behulpzaam tijdens het hele verblijf. De accommodatie was proper, comfortabel en goed gelegen. Alles kwam overeen met de beschrijving en de communicatie verliep vlot. Zeker een aanrader. Niets. Alles verliep zeer goed tijdens ons verblijf.

- Tiffani (8/5): Great location, close to parking and the city center! - The location was perfect! It was a bit noisy at night but that is to be expected when it’s in the city center.
- Frank (10/5): Super emplacement chambre très propre et qui sent bon 🤗 - Super emplacement chambre très propre et qui sent bon 🤗
- KEITH (8/5): Spent most of the time away from the room. - Conveniently located. Room clean and functional. There were no hotel staff. The TV was badly positioned. There was only one seat in the room.
- Kenny_Femke (7/5): Prima hotel - Prima hotel midden in Galway, kamer was prima, maar niet bijzonder. Goed ontbijt in het café er onder gehad. Bedden waren goed. Bril op de wc was kapot en het raam kon niet goed open.
- Gomes (8/5): -
- Danein (10/5): Wonderful - Convenience and location to everything. Checking in and out or simple.
- ISABEL (10/5): - La habitación era acogedora y muy bien diseñada. La puerta de la habitación daba directamente a un callejón y por la noche se acercaron personas gritando y nos asustamos...
- Thomas (9/5): -
- Quinn (8/5): - Milk was off
- Emilie (9/5): - Propreté impeccable
Le personnel est top
L'hôtel est hyper bien placé
Le bar au rez-de-chaussée très sympa (et on ne l'entend pas du 4e etage) Pas tout à fait bien isolé par rapport aux bruits de rue car le quartier est très animé, mais c'est largement supportable
La chambre était un tout petit peu petite, pas pratique pour celui qui dort côté fenêtre
et manque de luminosité car nous avions une toute petite fenêtre
- Tom Craig (1/5): Dreadful not to be repeated or recommended. - Nothing This establishment is one of the worst we have ever encountered. Very small room that cannot be accurately be described as a double - e.g. two people unable to pass each other side by side. Poorly equiped with one chair that could not be sited anywhere in the room without causing discomfort and restricting mobility. The shower cubicle is badly designed positioned for the small bath room, making entry / exit a potential safety hazard. Some shelving and a stool would be beneficial .There was no internet access and therefore no television.
- Maria Louise Emms (7/5): Good location - Location, clean The kettle had bits in it. Needs cleaning or a new one. The milk was gone off. The window wouldn't close and there was loud people in the the lane that we couldn't block out.
- Heidi (8/5): -
- Philip (7/5): -
- Virginie BARRIERE (9/5): Très bon emplacement au centre de Galway - Emplacement dans le centre de Galway, proche de tout. Le check in et le check out en autonomie. La musique du pub la nuit

- Tere (9/5): - Estaba limpio y al lado de la estación de tren,mejor ubicación,imposible
- Adrianna (7/5): Bardzo udany pobyt - Świetna lokalizacja, blisko centrum, pociągu, autobusów, punktu odbioru na wyjazd do Rossaveel i wysp Aran. Zaraz obok kawiarnia i market. Na plus oceniam wygodne łóżko, dobrą suszarkę do włosów, czajnik, duże kubki i wystarczająco dużo gniazdek. Czystość w porządku. Stosunek jakości do ceny - dobry. I jeszcze plus za możliwość przechowania bagażu przed zameldowaniem. Brak szafy fajnie rozwiązany dresserem. Szybkie wifi. Łatwe zameldowanie. Blisko są puby, więc w weekend było głośno w nocy. Trochę mało miejsca w pokoju.
- Mónica (8/5): Hotel cómodo y con muy buena ubicación, para estancias cortas. - Ubicación, comodidad de las camas y limpieza.
- Maria (7/5): -
- Jonny (8/5): -
- Eleanor (10/5): An economical gem in the heart of Galway! - The location is perfect! A very short walk to busses, above a scon and coffee shop, next door to pharmacy, steps from a conscience store, pub, and bus reservation center, and one block from Eyre Square. Easy and safe entrance with a lift, so no stairs. Immaculate room. A bit noisy on street side but tolerable.
- Steven (10/5): -
- linz85 (9/5): Galway good pit stop - La stanza che abbiamo preso (tripla) molto ampia, in fase di prenotazione ho richiesto il piano alto interno, e sono stata accontentata.
Le camere sono nuove e molto pulite. La posizione centralissima. Ottima base per un soggiorno a Galway. L'isolamento delle pareti fanno passare il rumore di musica e voci che proveniva dall'esterno, si sente parecchio a stare in stanza, nonostante non sia nelle vie principali.
- Nur Azean Lee (8/5): Great location, clean, comfortable. - Location
Reasonable room size
Great shower For light sleepers - noise fr traffic and some other motor sounds, in the morning. (Didn’t bother us, though). And host provided ear plugs.

- marta olvido (7/5): -
- Marco (7/5): Buona posizione, pulizia da migliorare. - Posizione comoda, molto vicina alla piazza principale. Bagno e camera grande. Pulizia da migliorare: qualche pelo di troppo e uno dei 4 cuscini era macchiato.
Vicolo d'ingresso un po' nascosto e non proprio rassicurante la sera.

- Juan Pablo (10/5): -
- Nerida (10/5): - Great room and excellent location. Very easy to find a park and super close to so many sights Galway. Comfy beds and very clean facilities.
- Marie-claire (8/5): Tres bien situé (centre ville accessible à pied et commerce de proximité). Parking payants et chers (30eur/jour dont - Tres bien situé (centre ville accessible à pied et commerce de proximité) Parking payants et chers (30eur/jour dont 15eur/nuit minimum)
- Emmalyne (7/5): Good location but noisey at night - The place itself was nice and very clean but very noisey at night with drunk people along the alleyway entrance as our window opened out to it.
- Anthony fontaine (7/5): - Bruyant
- Kaitlyn (9/5): Amazing stay will definitely return again - The location of the property was perfect, right next to An Púcan which was great. Personally we would have preferred more pillows and a mini fridge
- Lebreton (9/5): - Bien situé. Lit très confortable.
- Jennifer A. (6/5): - Great location, helpful staff when needed. The room was very small. Had difficulty figuring out the thermostat and the television. The bathroom door would not stay open, and the toilet seat was unstable. I found it difficult to not have a reception desk and staff member on site.
- Jordan (10/5): -
- Jochem (8/5): Geweldige locatie in een nette, ruime kamer. - Locatie, ruimte, netheid, toegankelijkheid en communicatie met de eigenaar. Hoofdkussens.
- Mark (10/5): Centraal en ruim - Ruime slaapplek Zit boven een kroeg met tuin dus kan wat geluid opleveren als je de ramen openlaat, wij sliepen er doorheen.
- Martina (8/5): - Gute Ausstattung, Wasserkocher, Tee, Kaffee
Gute Heizmöglichkeit.
Gute Lage Nähe Eyre Park
Cafe und Einkaufsmöglichkeit direkt daneben. Sehr weiche Betten

Window wont shut.
New build, not really up to code.

- Sarah (7/5): -
- Yemi (10/5): The rooms is clean, good location except the milk in the room are gone off therefore l could not have my tea in the even - Very clean Close to everything, especially coach station, Galway city centre, restaurants and bar
- René (10/5): -
- Jack (8/5): -
- Alvaro Reina (9/5): - Todo estaba cómo nuevo
- Inge-Anna Mareike (6/5): Für 5köpfige Familie mit kleineren KIndern eher weniger geeignet, besser für 1 Nacht für Partypeoples - Das Madison House ist sehr zentral in Galway gelegen. Man bekommt direkt am Haus auch einen guten Kaffee und man kann alles zu Fuß gut erreichen. Der Außensitzplatz bei App. Nr. 14 ist im Sommer bestimmt sehr nett. Auch war es sehr ordentlich und sauber. Der Raum hat zwar eine Küchenzeile, aber wir haben nirgends eine Herdplatte gefunden, nur eine Microwelle. Die Matratzen war teils zu hart, für allem in den Stockbetten für die KInder. Und für 5 - 6 Personen ist ein Minibad mit Dusche und Toilette manchmal am Morgen etwas „herausfordernd“ Die Heizung darf auch gern gekennzeichnet werden, um es ausländischen Gästen etwas leichter zu machen, den Badraum warm zu bekommen. Die Räume sind sehr hellhörig, aber es war nett, dass Ohropax bereitlag. Der Notausgang wurde nachts von anderen Gästen von außen mehrmals lautstark „getestet“… auch das war nicht so schön.
- Lauren (9/5): Perfect for short stay in Galway - Perfect location, clean comfortable room Nothing
- Rebecca (7/5): great location and good value for large family on budget - Location was great, having some space to move around the apartment was a bonus with a large family. Couch and TV Couldn't connect TV to internet or use smart TV. Bunk beds squeaked and made noise when the kids moved around. Beds near emergency exit door which public sometimes hung around and could hear them outside in alley way.
- Paula (8/5): Central location with good cafes close by. - Central location, easy access via self checkin. Modern rooms with tea/coffee supplied. Lovely cafe for breakfast just round corner. Room quite small and bit noisy with traffic at times in room 2 on the front 1st floor, although earplugs were supplied. Also directions for parking were misleading as car park suggested on Station road could not be found and Links for info were deleted check in instructions so wasted 30 minutes looking for parking.
- Mark (10/5): Contented Traveller - Very comfortable and very convenient to central Galway city. Would have liked new towels on second day.
- Marta (10/5): -
- Natalie (10/5): -
- cecile (10/5): Merci ! - Tout était parfait Rien
- Ainhoa (9/5): - Ubicación. Cerca de la estación de autobuses y el centro.
- Eric (7/5): -
- Davide (10/5): Galway, tappa ideale per esplorare Aran Islands - La sua posizione centrale è l’ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo Nulla da segnalare
- Michael (9/5): Prima verblijf Galway - Locatie en kwaliteit van de bedden (wel te kort voor mensen >1.90) Meer een aandachtspunt voor mensen die dit willen boeken. Je zit midden in een zeer geluidruchtig uitgaansgebied.
- michela (10/5): La struttura è vicina al centro . Ottima per un soggiorno a Galway. - Eravamo nell’appartamento a tetto .. il bagno non è nella stanza dove dormi , ma una porta e un corridoio separano i due spazi .
- Harrit (6/5): Prima locatie. Maar vanuit bed geen TV kunnen kijken is raar… - Locatie TV op zeer onlogische plaats, in een hoek ver van het bed. Grote ruime badkamer en toch een kleine krappe douchecabine en één wastafel, terwijl er wel 2 passen. Jammer!
- Verónica (10/5): - La ubicación y la comodidad de las camas Nada. Todo estuvo genial.
- Tracy (8/5): - Very clean and comfortable room - family room has a double bed and bunk beds with bathroom. Location is ideal near eyre square and the bus station. Clear instructions for self check in. There were earplugs on the dressing table which we needed as the noise from the bar downstairs was very loud when people came outside. This was intermittent from 10pm until 330am.
- Frank (9/5): - Perfectly situated in the centre of Eyre Square. Spacious and spotlessly clean. Warm and cosy. Only complaint! The bed was too firm. Bed was too firm for my back.
- Silvia (8/5): - Sehr gute Lage Zimmer sind sehr hellhörig
