The hotel is a gem at the front of the building, offering beautiful, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable rooms. If you value having a bath, make sure to request one specifically. The service is a mix of being ignored by waiting staff and receiving lovely, very good service. The location is exemplary, with a great atmosphere for a relaxed drink and easy access to downtown Galway. The dining experience, while not buffet style, still offers exceptional meals, especially the breakfast. Overall, it's a fabulous stay with a few minor quirks to consider.

The hotel is in a convenient location, despite being near a busy road junction, making it perfect for exploring nearby attractions. The rooms are exceptional, offering fresh towels and bottled water daily. The service is top-notch with friendly and attentive staff. However, the bustling atmosphere near the reception area might not suit everyone. The dining experience impresses with delightful scones, although the lack of waiter service is noticeable. Overall, a great value for money stay with easy free parking and proximity to various amenities.

I was pleasantly surprised by how spacious and spotlessly clean the rooms were, offering everything one would need for a comfortable stay. The hotel exceeded my expectations in terms of size and cleanliness, making it a truly comfortable experience. However, the location was not optimal, being situated at a junction of two main roads with views of a warehouse-type building. The service was exceptional, the staff were friendly and attentive, providing excellent service with a smile.

The dining experience was a mixed bag. While the breakfast was exceptional, not having a buffet-style service might be a drawback for some, and the separate pricing for items made it feel a bit expensive. However, the hot food selection was good.

Staying here was a mix of delight and disappointment. The rooms were super clean and comfortable, with a scrumptious breakfast that kept me happy while exploring Galway. The location is handy for parking and near the city center. However, sleeping above the beer garden and main road meant dealing with spider webs and a cracked ceiling.

My stay at the hotel was truly delightful. The rooms were not just clean and comfortable but also very modern, with a lovely receptionist making me feel right at home. The warmth and comfort of the room, along with its spacious layout and abundance of bright natural light, truly made my stay enjoyable. However, the dining experience, though nice, was a bit pricey, and the options were somewhat limited.
