Good- would stay again but some issues

4/5 stars. It’s a good location. A short taxi ride or bus ride to the Galway City Centre. Breakfast is one of the best I’ve had! There was plenty of parking if you have a car. The room itself was very spacious and recommend the family room. It worked out perfection with one large room with 2 double beds and 1 twin bed. There were a few cons: 1. The hotel room looked a bit outdated especially the bathroom. 2. There was no hot water which was big inconvenience, but they sent a maintenance worker straight away and it was fixed within 1 hour. 3. The sink was also not draining well and that was also fixed quickly. It was a big inconvenience though bc it delayed our morning by 1 hour and thankfully we made it to breakfast before they closed. 4. Our key cards somehow didn’t work for 2 different times and had to get new cards activated. Again another inconvenience.

Nice hotel but some rooms are noisy.

very nice hotel, great staff. However, the rooms on the north side of the hotel beside the main road are very noisy. It makes these rooms very uncomfortable, like sitting on the roadside. Better soundproofing on those rooms would make this such a better hotel.

The room 466 was noisy. The noise from cars on the road was unbearable. I could not sleep till 1 am when the movement of cars reduced. Again at 4am as the road got busy the noise from the cars was a torture. Those rooms parallel to the road should have noise proof windows.
