Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had everything we needed with clean, comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and a fantastic location close to shopping centers, pubs, and restaurants. However, the dining options were a bit limited and the dark ambiance felt a bit off. The value for money was reasonable considering the included breakfast.
The hotel rooms were a reasonable size, comfortable, and very clean, with courteous staff. However, they overlooked a noisy courtyard surrounded by apartments, making it feel small, dark, and unclean.
The hotel rooms were fine, comfortable, and spacious, although a bit too hot making it hard to sleep. The breakfast area had tables that were too close together. The service was exceptionally friendly and helpful, with delicious breakfast options. The location was excellent for a city visit, close to the main bars and restaurants. The dining experience was overall fantastic, with some minor inconveniences. The hotel is well-situated for exploring the city and offers some lovely views.
My stay at the hotel was overall fantastic. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, although a bit warm due to the lack of air conditioning. Despite being disturbed by noise from works and the harbor, the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms stood out. The hotel's service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff, although I was left waiting for a promised follow-up. The location was convenient, with easy access to the city center and tourist areas, despite some nearby roadworks. The dining experience left something to be desired, with limited breakfast options and some issues with the food quality, but the room itself was excellent. The facilities were good, with adequate amenities available. However, the value for the money could be improved in some areas.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, being very close to the main parts of Galway city, but the rooms were disappointing due to their small size and stuffiness. The service was exceptional, making us feel welcome right from the start. The dining experience was a mix of great variety and some letdowns. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel has a beautiful view from our room, but it was a bit noisy being close to the stairs. The room was small for our family with a 7-month-old baby, even though we requested a travel cot. Despite the lack of space with the cot, bed, pram, and bags, the king-size bed was cozy.
The hotel rooms were spacious and comfortable, nicely decorated, and the bed was very cozy. However, the breakfast was a bit of a letdown as it was cold on both mornings.
The hotel is conveniently located near the city center, making it perfect for a city break. The rooms are decent in size but could use some updating. The service was a mix of excellence between the food servers and a bit lacking with the receptionists. The dining options were good, though not on par with everything else in the hotel. The location is excellent for exploring Galway city, just a short walk to the center. Overall, a nice spot for a city getaway, but there are areas that could be improved.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and provided bottled water daily, but being at the front facing the street made it noisy due to the cooling system outside. The service was excellent, especially from Cyprian and Katie who were very helpful and accommodating. The location was great for exploring the nearby town and enjoying the nightlight, but noise from the street was a downside. Dining was satisfactory with something for everyone but lacked variety and presentation. Overall, the hotel offers good value for the money, despite minor drawbacks.
