Nice hotel for short stay
Lovely hotel with affordable prices and friendly staff.
Daughter is gluten free and hotel had excellent options, one of the best weve seen.
Bed could be more comfortable and windows more sound proof but overall not a bad hotel.

Nice hotel with a good breakfast and cute garden for groups to gather. Did not realize it was not walkable to historic Galway but was close to several bus lines.

Hotel needs an update.
The staff was incredibly friendly and the breakfast was excellent. The food in the bistro was also very good. Unfortunately the walls are very thin, so we could hear everything that was going on in the rooms around us. Also, the bathroom smelled of mold and you cannot close the bathroom door from the outside because the door keeps opening.

Overall solid experience. Nothing really stood out as unusually exceptional, but there was also nothing to really point out as a flaw. It's a bit of a walk to anything, as it's mainly in a residential area, but that's part of why I chose this location.

They do not have king beds only queens they call kings and you have to wear a bathing cap to be able to swim in the pool. Other than that we had a good stay enjoying breakfast and a nice long walk into the heart of Galway.
