Beautiful, comfortable hotel in a great location with amazing staff.
Sherri, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Really enjoyed the hotel. The staff was friendly, the rooms were clean, the bartender (especially Rachel) were phenomenal. My only complaints were the beds were a bit hard and the temp in the rooms were a bit warm. Other than that it was an amazing trip and I would absolutely return!

Excellent location for shopping, sightseeing, restaurants and bars. Staff were lovely and went above and beyond to help
Debbie, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Loved that the hotel was a 5 min walk from the train station across the park. You are right in central Galway and all the action. Our room was in the rear of the hotel so it was dead quiet. They have a breakfast for 15 Euros but we chose a breakfast place right across the street. Everything is walkable from the hotel.

Older hotel but very well kept. Ideal location. Staff very accommodating and friendly.
Florence, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great central location, walking distance to the Latin Quarter, restaurants, pubs and shopping. We spent two nights and toured around the area (Connemara and Cliffs of Mohr are easy drives).
