"Really, really loved our stay here!!! Bed + Pillows were SOOO comfortable, we wished our bed at home was that comfortable. The property was clean, felt luxurious, smelled amazing, all great things. It’s a bit of a walk to city center, but nothing unmanageable. We would for sure stay here again when coming back to Galway!"

"On the minus side: Location is in a semi industrial area so not close to Galway shopping and nightlife. Internet connection was not working so front desk gave me an admin password. Coverage was spotty. On the plus side: restaurant was very good and breakfast was excellent selection. Hotel was clean but hallways are very dark."
