Depends on the room

Our room was located in the B wing, in particular the bathroom was dated in the room we stayed in. The heating system when it came on during the night was very loud. Check out is 11:30 am however had numerous instances of room cleaning staff trying to enter before this time. I have stayed in other rooms on previous occasions and had better experiences.

We liked the hotels lobby and common areas were huge and modern.. the staff was friendly and helpful when we need anything .. Our room needed more dusting but everything else looked clean and the beds were really comfortable.. rooms are spacious.. Laundry was unconventionally so far .. but free which was nice (as we are traveling for 3 weeks) We loved Galway and your hotel

Tired and worm

Rooms in need of a refurb. Breakfast had no vegetarian options and the manager didnt seem to understand this his suggestion of spinach and vegetables as a vegetarian breakfast was an insult.

Halloween Stay

Despite our room being a little late in being ready, the hotel was perfect for our needs. A very clean and well maintained pool, clwan and comfortable rooms, delicious food and very friendly and accommodating staff. Its perfectly located for relaxation but close enough to venture into Galway City centre. Bus 409 cost €5.60 for a family of 4 into the city and the pick up is a few hundred yards from the hotel with the drop off practically at the hotel entrance. Will we return? Absolutely. It'll now be our go to Galway hotel.
