Great place to stay

We were not familiar with this property before our stay. We LOVED the hotel, location, and convenience of it. We would make it our ideal location if in Galway again.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The lobby and included breakfast area has been renovated and is a nice pleasant space. The rooms and corridors are worn, shabby, stained and in need of an overhaul. Construction noise on the first level began around 0830. Very disappointed in the 9.2 Expedia rating. Not at all what I was expecting.

Understated, stylist and relaxed

This is a understated, stylish hotel that is very relaxed and friendly. The rooms were a good size with tea and coffee making, iron and ironing board and safe. King sized bed was very comfortable. Very good location but parking is a multi-storey along the street. I’m not that fussy, but I did think breakfast was disappointing … tried all the (limited) options during my stay but most were overlooked or dry. There’s plenty of better options near by which I’ll choose for my next stay there.

Perfect location. Perfect place. It’s a cute hotel. Rooms are a decent size for Ireland. Shower can be small. But overall I would stay here again. It’s very central located. Bus pick up are close by.
