The hotel was nice and offered something a little different. The staff were mixed, some were excellent but others seemed to do the minimum they could get away with, mainly in the restaurant. However the breakfast staff were excellent as was the food

Fantastic stay at a wonderful hotel. There was everything we needed for our stay and the staff were very efficient and helpful. Room was spacious and well equipped with a super comfortable bed. Breakfasts were excellent and a wide choice of both cold and hot food made to order. The recommendations from staff were really helpful in regards to some local areas to visit and using the bus service into Galway. Would definitely recommend and wouldn’t hesitate staying again. Thank you for making our stay so memorable with the ‘Happy Birthday’ message and sweet treat for my husband when we arrived.

This was an exceptional hotel with great staff. We enjoyed our stay there while exploring Galway and the west of Ireland. It is not downtown Galway, but it not far and the property provides a very nice and quiet alternative to the downtown hotels.
