The property was lovely and the staff on arrival were pleasant. We did send some washing off to be cleaned and was assured it would be back before we checked out. Unfortunately the hotel had to forward our cloths to home address.

Nice, a bit dated & isolated but on beautiful Galw

The main level, reception, lobby, & restaurants & bar were very pretty. Furnishings a bit dated. Nice location across from Galway Bay & Salthill Promenade. 45 minute walk from Eyre Square & Galway City Center so a bit isolated
