The House Hotel

This four-story stone building in Galway's historic area, next to the Spanish Arch, was formerly a warehouse, and is now a boutique loft hotel. From its low-key lobby with polished oak floors, columns, and big windows, to its subtle, contemporary rooms, it's a comfortable, modern alternative. Rooms are divided into categories like "comfy," "classy," and "swanky," and they pretty much do what it says on the label. The swanky rooms are definitely, well, the swankiest. The comfy rooms (and bathrooms) can be very small. All have good beds, soft linens, lots of sunlight, high ceilings, and a refreshing urban feel. The design has won accolades, and it prides itself on service.
