Lovely atmosphere in the lobby area, but would suggest a play area for children and also re-configure the changing room for women/children as flight of stairs is difficult to manage to/from the swimming pool and same also need to get through the gym area before/after swim which brings up a safety and privacy issue!

I waited some time before making this review. Our stay boarded on the miserable. Rooms so hot with no ventilation that you cannot sleep. The dining room: while the staff were pleasant and courteous, the meals were simply not good. We spoke to the front desk numerous times about our room and the issues. Instead of rectifying anything, they tried to book us in for an additional night in the same awful room. I do not make it a point to disparage anyone; but, our experience was so disappointing that I would have wanted to read an accurate review before considering booking this establishment. I wish you a better stay than we had.

Great family stay

We stayed in the superior family room (me, my husband & 5yo little boy) and it was very spacious and clean. Found it very quiet, no ambient noises. Very impressed with the facilities - my little boy loved the pool. He also loved the pancake maker at breakfast. A lot of variety at breakfast. Good parking. Good location for Salthill, Galway City & Connemara. Really needs aircon though - even though we asked for a fan, which they provided, it would’ve been better with aircon and expected from a 4 star establishment.

Very nice hotel. The room was well appointed. We had a nice dinner with great service despite it being near closing time. The buffet breakfast was also quite good. The only negative was that we had to leave the window open to cool the room (no a/c) and at 07:00am, a garbage truck loaded a filled garbage container and the construction crew working in the hotel started tossing construction materials into the emptied skip (right below our window)!
