This hotel is just ok.Nothing particularly wrong with it but nothing that wows either. Not particularly GF friendly which actually was the first of many hotels we’ve stayed in throughout Ireland that wasn’t.

No drawers to put socks and underwear in, which was weird. However, the location is so good that it seems a small nit. Staff was friendly and efficient.

Great location. Ok amenities. Bad timing.

Scaffolding around the exterior of the building. Scaffolding ruined the view from our window. Woke up to construction noise at 8:30.

The location is fantastic! However, I'd booked and paid for a "Standard Double Room" and received a "Twin room" which was right outside a scaffolding, which blocked my view, and construction started around 6am. I had a pretty terrible sleep for the 2 evenings I was there. There was not even bottled water in my room, so I had to request some at the front desk. Overall I would have enjoyed my stay much more if they had put me into a room I'd actually picked. The front staff were also not very welcoming so I would likely not stay here again.

Lovely hotel that’s right next to Latin quarter. Everything is in walking distance. The hotel gave a list of restaurant's and activities. We went to a small restaurant called Finnagans the hotel recommended by hotel. It was amazing homemade authentic Irish food. I love Galway. Beautiful city.

Very convenient property-well maintained and perfect for our Galway trip. We did not have a car and the location was so convenient. Breakfast was not free, but a great option especially if purchased the day prior for a lesser fee. The pub/restaurant offered a great selection as well. The staff was so nice and accommodating.

Staff was friendly. Nice location. But very loud. They placed us in a room right next to the lobby on the first floor. Constant banging of the public bathroom door. Constant noise. Stuffy room and uncomfortably hard bed.
