This hotel like many in Galway is an older but pretty building. It was great and staff really always did their best to help. Very easy walk to city center. My only peeve is that they twin beds not queens so it is tight for 2 people.

Cute and quiet place near the center of Galway

Cute place that is walkable to all the shops and pubs but far enough away it’s quiet. The breakfast was good, and it was nice there was parking. Comfy rooms and friendly staff.

Really liked the breakfast and dinner options. The bar area and restaurant are beautiful and the staff friendly. Our room was spacious and clean. The bathroom lacked space for our things, with the only sink being a small pedestal style sink- no counter space. The room was quiet when the window was shut, but when open you could hear street noise. There is no AC, so the room can be warm in the Summer months, especially if you need to close the window to gain some quiet.

We stayed in the penthouse apartment. This was a real treat. It was stunning with a great kitchen, lots of space for everyone and comfortable beds. We really enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to book this again.

First great location, secondly staff brilliant, third the underground car park. Refurbing front door, was inconvenient but not the worst. The bathroom was a little dirty. It can be very noisy (even on 4th floor)
