Location was great, room was outstanding and staff was awesome.

James United States of America

great location, stylish hotel, amazing food, friendly/helpful staff! loved the oyster bar for after dinner drinks

Shawna United States of America

The classic style has been preserved. The location right off the main square makes it a convenient launching point to explore Galway. My room was spacious and very clean, appointed well with handy toiletries and useful items. The bar and restaurant were a perk although the service was spotty throughout my three day stay. Still, staff seemed to try hard to be helpful.

Monica United States of America

Great location. Beautiful old but updated hotel with great amenities. Very clean huge room with deep tub with separate shower, double vanities. Great customer service great food.

Michael United States of America

Loved that our room had a separate bathroom to the shower. That made it so much more convenient when getting ready! Hotel is close to everything! We will definitely stay again!

Kari United States of America

Comfortable, good breakfast, walkable to most areas.

Carolyn United States of America

We were upgraded to a deluxe room. It was beautiful and really comfortable. Shower was amazing. Breakfast was delicious and the staff could not have been more helpful and friendly.
