If you're a party person this hotel is for you ;)

The size of the rooms was decent, loved the in room coffee pot and you can't be at the location BUT the pub below was BLASTING music well past 2am and even with 2 sound machines and closed windows no sleep was to be had. Staff were polite but not friendly and with no breakfast service available we'll make a different choice on our next visit to Galway.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities

Disappointing.

This hotel was one of the biggest disappointments in our 4 week trip in the British Isles. It is located on a very busy and loud walking street, making it difficult to access and loud outside until around 3 am. The elevator smelled, the coffee maker leaked and didn’t work and the shower water pressure was non existent. The room was over $300 Euros per night - too expensive for its shortfalls.

Older hotel in a great location. There is no onsite parking. Very noisy, even on weekdays. We heard loud music and yelling well after midnight. Trash cleanup and trucks starting at 6 am. No AC. Clean room and friendly staff. Surprised by the overall rating. People must really like the location. Hotel is just okay. Solid 6 or 7. Not a 9/“wonderful”

Ok first let me say…it was a nice hotel. It was clean, comfy room, and staff were friendly. Now for the not so good…while others have commented on it being noisy…I assumed typical noise for the pub district. I did not expect for it to sound like I had a damn nightclub in my room. They have commented on others reviews saying their hotel specific website states it can be noisy…their Expedia info does not. And really how many of us go to the individual website to check it out? I expected some noise as a result of street traffic but not the echo of the bars live music (think bass thumping) til the wee hours of the morning. So if you appreciate a good night sleep, are traveling with children or are not in the party scene…DO NOT book here! If the late night live music club hopping is your jam…book away you will love it! As for me 3 hours of sleep for €296…not worth it. Oh AND when we asked how long the music would be going for…we were given earplugs.
