This place is right in the heart of Galway’s shopping area. Only 3 minutes across Eyre Square and you’re presented with so many shopping and dining options. Rooms were nice and service was adequate.

We enjoyed our dinner in the pub. The breakfast was fine. We did have a friendly and pleasant young server who went above and beyond at breakfast. The room was also okay..met our needs for a quick one night stay.

Reserved a room for my daughter who was visiting Galway from Dublin, for a day. My decision was based on location and other positive guest reviews. The hotel lived up to it's positive rating; my daughter loved her stay. The hotel is very conveniently located right next to the main train/bus station and everything is in walkable distance to it with lot's of dining spots all around. The room was neat & clean with a comfortable bed. Would stay here again.
