The hotel is good but unfortunately our AC was not working. We realized the issue last at night so did not bother the staff but they do have 24x7 frontdesk so the fault is not of the hotel. We just got unlucky. Breakfast was Great with a wide selection and hot food. Recommend the place to others as its walkable to anywhere in Galway.
