Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Friendly staff, quiet atmosphere, and a clean room, but the property as a whole is showing its age. The breakfast was a letdown—it felt reheated rather than freshly made. Fine for a quick overnight stay, but foodies should look elsewhere.

Lovely ocean facing room with lots of space.Bith the room and bathroom were clean if a little old fashioned. Staff in reception were very helpful but found the restaurant( Brasserie) staff a efficient but not particularly warm or welcoming. Location very good for sea front and for transport linksgto town centre.Some good bars and restaurants around- better value than eating in the hotel

Great for families! Lots of families at breakfast, and using the pool. Breakfast had many options. We also enjoyed afternoon tea and liked that. Location is great, right across from the promenade, and free parking was a huge perk for Galway.
