My stay at the Lane felt so indulgent. The bed was so comfortable, and I loved the little details like the pretty coffee cups snd the giant towels. The staff were very helpful snd went out of their way to accommodate me needs. The location could not be better. I would stay at the Lane again in a heartbeat.

We enjoyed the small boutique hotel tucked down a little lane. It was very quiet yet convenient to walk to Eyre Sqaure and the Latin Qtr, High Street, Quay Street and everything you want from Galway. We upgraded to the King Deluxe room and it was spacious and comfortable with a large bathroom, hair dryer, modern (usb) power. All was perfect for our 1 night in Galway.

Fine hotel, just a bit dingy and dated

Perfectly fine hotel, a little dingy and old/gloomy but works - bit expensive for what you get

Nice staff, nice room. It was a short walk from the train station and Eyre Square, and there were great places to eat very close by. Great security too - I liked the gate for the entire lane.

Simple, comfortable room that felt very luxurious. Couldn’t beat the location either. Will definitely stay at the same hotel when I return to Galway.
