Feels smallish, although it's one of the biggest ones in Hungary. It has a lot of culture and the atmosphere is rather nice. I would definitely recommend it for someone who wants to visit Hungary. Living-wise is a lot better than in Budapest for example.

Pretty good, it's a university town, so there are plenty of places to go out to, although it can feel a bit dead sometimes.

Not a lot, Hungary is really cheap. Although Győr is in the western part, which is a bit more expensive, but it's still ridiculously cheap for Western Europeans.
