Great hotel for the price. Clean, new, good bed and shower, nice size room, decent restaurant, helpful staff, and ample free parking underground so no issue with getting in and out with the rain. Although it’s outside the center of the city, it has some shopping and restaurants around and has a Spar on site.

This property is conveniently located. Easy walk to Eyre Square - 25 minutes. Close to shopping. Friendly staff. Restaurant convenient but expensive and food not very good. We had a refrigerator as my husband had meds that required this. However, when you leave, electrical is disabled. Would stay here again.

More real chairs needed as there are two of us travelling. A working fridge to chill some wine and other perishables would be welcome. There seem to be a lot of unnecessary security doors that made ingress/egress cumbersome. Having bus access to Eyre Square was a handy alternative to a taxi before 6pm. Having the Spar convenience store nearby offered handy fast food choices Staff were very helpful in explaining how to book local tours online without running into (two factor authentication - text message) restrictions ---great!!!!!

Spent four nights at this busy property. Located on the Headford Road, it is conveniently located beside a service station, a Dunnes Superstore, Penney’s/Primark, and Tesco. Just a 15-minute walk to City Centre restaurants, etc. A generous breakfast buffet with a wide selection of hot and cold options. Really nice and helpful staff. My only annoyance was with the acoustics, maybe I was just unfortunate, but on two of the four nights I happened to have really noisy next-door neighbors – one night it was a really loud man who carried on a hours-long conversation at shouting level, he was replaced the following night by two guys trying to outtalk each other at increasing pitch, it stopped around midnight so wasn’t too bad.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights. It was very comfortable. Staff at the reception desk were helpful. The room was spacious with two comfortable bed. It was conveniently located: 20 minutes walk to the city center and 7 minutes walk to Galway Shopping center. It was 10 euros by taxi to the city center bus stop. We had dinner at Gatto Rosso at the Square and coffee at Cafe Nero. We did 2 bus tours: one was to Cliffs of Moher and Burren; the other was to Kylemore Abbey. Both were excellent. I would highly recommend this hotel.
