We didn't have enough time to explore Galway but enjoyed our stay here. The reception staff was very friendly and handed me a nice free drink that was much appreciated (and needed). The room was very modern and clean with a comfortable bed and good TV. Parking is convenient and right next to the hotel. In a nice section of town and convenient to coffee shops and shopping.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Lovely atmosphere in the lobby area, but would suggest a play area for children and also re-configure the changing room for women/children as flight of stairs is difficult to manage to/from the swimming pool and same also need to get through the gym area before/after swim which brings up a safety and privacy issue!

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
I waited some time before making this review. Our stay boarded on the miserable. Rooms so hot with no ventilation that you cannot sleep. The dining room: while the staff were pleasant and courteous, the meals were simply not good. We spoke to the front desk numerous times about our room and the issues. Instead of rectifying anything, they tried to book us in for an additional night in the same awful room. I do not make it a point to disparage anyone; but, our experience was so disappointing that I would have wanted to read an accurate review before considering booking this establishment. I wish you a better stay than we had.

Great hotel and friendly helpful staff. Only reason I gave a 4 not 5 star review was the building work that started at 8am right outside our hotel window - and we were not told/warned there was any building work going on at the hotel

Nice Hotel ⭐⭐⭐⭐

We stayed for one night in a family, it was spacious, clean and comfortable. We had a drink in the lounge with family members the evening we arrived. The staff were friendly and the decor was very nice. It was good value. My only gripe is that we were late for the breakfast we paid extra for when we arrived, so I asked the receptionist if she could do anything for us and we would have our lunch there. She said yes she would refund our breakfast but never did.
