Great location... need new beds..ours was worn out and my wife and I sunk into the middle. She couldn’t sleep at all. No HVAC....meaning if room was stuffy (and it was) the only way to cool off is to open the windows....VERY noisy birds late into the night and starting at 4:30 a.m. so no sleeping in. It was nice to have a car park under the hotel, although a bit inconvenient to have the cars “stacked” so you had to have an attendant move cars to get yours out.

Because I had 2 rooms booked for 5 people they upgraded us to a penthouse. It was wonderful. With a great view.

James

Great location. Really appreciated onsite private parking

Patricia

Super friendly staff! Easy walking distance to everything you would want to see in Galway City. Wonderful restaurant (nice atmosphere and amazing food!) and live traditional Irish music in the hotel pub. I liked that it wasn't overly crowded or touristy - had just the right amount of people in the pub...

Breakfast was not included in the price, so we went offsite for breakfast. The hotel was easy walking distance to the pedestrian / touristy areas. We like to use ice and the bar would provide us with an ice bucket.

There’s nowhere to stop directly in front to drop off bags...just around corner or on opposite side of the street. Not a big issue but it’s the only thing.
