The room was clean and modern. The beds were very comfortable. Two bottles of water were provided each day. The gym facilities were quite minimalistic but sufficient. Breakfast was lovely and boasted quite a few options: continental buffet-style and a la carte. Staff were forthcoming and very friendly and knowledgeable.

Solid place but no AC

Was a nice hotel. Happy about the price and cleanliness. Location was good but a little far if you want to be in the center of the city. No AC which I was taken back by just a fan in each room. Staff was very kind.

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
