Very convenient location, close to everything

A very comfortable hotel, walking distance from the railway station (I walked with a large wheeled suitcase no problem). Being an older building, there are steps up to the main entrance and steps up (and down again) on the floors, so you will need to be able to carry a suitcase or bag up and down four or five steps from the lift. I had a good meal in the bar (there is also a restaurant, which serves the same food). I'd certainly recommend this place for its convenient location.

Good hotel in a central spot in Galway

There were 4 of us traveling together and we got a complimentary upgrade to a 2 bedroom apartment. Hotel was clean and in a good central location in Galway. Went for a drink in the pub to listen to the live music but we were the only ones there which was a bit disappointing. We also enjoyed the breakfast.

Pros: Great location especially if you want to be in walking distance from the coach station
Cons: Quite expensive for a basic room.
Rooms at the front of the hotel get a lot of noise from the street.

Pros: Quiet and peaceful flat despite being in the heart of Galway
Cons: The local weather - but what can you do about that - At least the accommodation was so lovely it did not matter
Facilities: Top of the line; Value: Bargain; Service: Outstanding; Cleanliness: Immaculate; Staff upgraded us as there was a wedding on at the hotel so we were moved to a self contained unit at no extra cost that was 5 star . Appreciated
