Rita, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice with family

This place is well maintained. The breakfast was great with lots of options. My only complaint was that the pillows were either too fluffy or too hard. Staff was friendly, would stay here again. If you're looking for walking distance to the main part of town, this isn't for you.

A quick drive into the city from this hotel, we liked its location. Very quiet, fabulous bathroom, huge bed, nice staff. Would stay here again.

The room was tired and needed renovation at this price point.
Zoe, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The hotel is very family centered with a kids activity center and large. Rooms vary in conditions depending on if they are in the refurbished part. A bit disappointed in the condition of our room and the fact that it didn’t have air conditioning. There is constant activity in the bar area at the front of the hotel.
2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice hotel with some decent on site dining options and a cafe. The room was perfect for our five person family. You could technically walk to downtown Galway, but it’s just far enough out to justify a drive.
Matthew, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The overall stay was OK. The hotel was clean. Staff was friendly. The only issues I had was the rooms were dated. By that I mean, nothing seemed up-to-date/modern and the bathtub/shower seemed to very cheap and was very slippery and did not have an anti skid mat.
Clayton, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

A lovely hotel, had an overnight stay only, I would come back for a longer stay.
