Nicely comfortable hotel in an excellent location — right around the corner from the train station without being noisy, and very convenient to Galway’s sights, including the Aran Island ferry. The attached restaurant is reliably decent.

The staff were very kind and helpful. We arrived at 8 am after an overnight flight expecting to drop our bags off and check in at 3 pm, but the staff were able to find us a room right away. The hotel is in an ideal location, right in the heart of Galway. Everything is within walking distance and the train station is next door. You can't pick a better spot to stay!

Extremely over priced for what you get. The room is small and no air conditioning. Building is clearly old. Had to walk about 5-6 blocks for parking

Was large, bar and food good. We had room 414, blown glass in a window, no plug in the wash basin, toilet flush very iffy and when we complained they just showed us how to make it flush by pressing all the controls. Then the lamp on my side didn’t fit the plug, asked them to change it, they just took it away and put my husbands lamp there so I he hadn’t got one instead. Headboard damaged also .

The property is in a good location for shopping, dining, partying and walking to many interesting neighborhoods and sites. I recommend it. The only confusing thing for us was the parking, which was down the street a block or so away in a shopping mall garage.

Positives: right in the heart of Galway, easy walking. The restaurant/bar was very good, and the included breakfast was excellent. Negatives: Our room had a broken toilet seat. There is only one bery slow elevator. The parking arrangements are cumbersome and require a long walk with luggage.
