I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location couldn't be better, right in the heart of Galway city with everything within easy reach. The rooms were cozy and clean, although a bit tight on space in the bathroom, but that comfortable bed and balcony made up for it. The service was top-notch, with helpful staff always ready to assist, although they couldn't adjust the rate for me. Dining was a treat with delicious homemade bread and granola, but I wish there were more options. Overall, a great value for money stay!

I stayed at this hotel and found it to be an excellent choice with its very comfortable king bed in the room and the convenience of having a double and single bed available. The location, right in town centre, was super convenient, although the dining options were somewhat limited. The service was outstanding, although I did have a small hiccup when asking management for the same rate.

I couldn't have asked for a better stay! The hotel is ideally located in the center of Galway City, making it super convenient to explore. The shared bathroom was clean and the king bed in my room was absolutely amazing. The highlight was definitely the delicious breakfast served each morning. However, I did face some challenges when negotiating the rate with management, which was a bit disappointing.

The rooms are clean and comfortable, with a mix of options to accommodate different needs. The service overall was good, but it was a bit disappointing when I asked management for the same rate and they refused. The location is superbly situated near the areas we wished to visit, although the bar & restaurant could be improved. Dining was inclusive of our rate and offered multiple options, but cold dishes were served. The hotel facilities met basic needs, but some areas require updating.

The rooms are luxurious with very high-quality bed linens and beautiful king beds, but I did miss having a lovely bathroom.
