Melita Australia

The location was great. Hotel was very clean and tidy if a little generic. Buffet breakfast was nice but as is often the case when not cooked to order. The room was very hot so spend some time getting the air con set as you like

Alan United Kingdom

The room was great and had plenty of room. I loved the sky windows and they were good for airflow. The shower was huge. The best thing was the bed, it was the most comfortable bed I have slept in for a long time. Breakfast was a huge affair and there was a large variety to choose from.

Suzanne United Kingdom

This hotel is terrific for a Galway stay. We had a triple room with 3 beds- a rare and very much appreciated find (some triples are a double and a single). The room was clean, bathroom was updated and well appointed. Breakfast was excellent and we also had a lovely dinner there as well. The hotel is just a short walk to the Aran Ferry and Galway sites making it very convenient. There is a parking garage on site making arrival and departure very easy. The staff were friendly and very helpful.
