Out of town slightly but easy bus ride in avoided the hassle of finding parking in the city centre. Very popular venue locally - we had to book to get a table for dinner - the food and staff were great. Free parking on site was a bonus.

Great little hotel just outside the city centre. Had a good chat with the bartender in the evening, and enjoyed the stay in the comfortable room. No complaints, happy to have free parking out front.

The number of restaurants inside is terrific. And it was no bother that we had to walk up the stairs to our room on the second floor because elevator service doesn’t go there. However, the room had a very odd smell. It may have been the leather chairs or it may have been Damp. The bathroom was enormous, and the bed was very comfortable. I was just not a fan of our particular room. Also, unless you are interested in walking upwards of a mile to get to downtown, you need to take an Uber or drive down. It’s definitely not walkable otherwise.

Lovely little place for our quick stay in Galway. Location is 15 minute walk from main city center and the restaurant downstairs has great food. Everyone was very kind -Louise at the Front Desk was a standout! The restaurant manager was super sweet, running after my husband to ensure he had plates/silverware for food to take back to our room.

All sorts of dirty and garbage around the window sills by the front entrance was a bad 1st impression and we were concerned right off the bat. However, staff were fantastic when we came in and got a late dinner and that was very good. I couldn't figure out how to temperature control the room so we slept with the inside windows open however it was still quite warm. The 2nd night we went in the lounge / bar for a drink, sat there for about 30 minutes and no one came over to us so we went back to our room. Overall, the place seems well maintained but there was dramatic inconsistency which I've described.

This place was great! The staff was very friendly and tried their hardest to accommodate our early arrival. While we waited we ate at the bar since the restaurant was full, it’s a very popular place! The food was wonderful, very fresh and tasty. The bartender was super nice and gave us tips about getting to town, it’s a very easy bus ride. The rooms were large, clean, and had cool, funky layouts. We had two rooms and they were very different so it may depend on what room you get, but we loved both of ours. Highly recommend this place!

We stayed here for a night and it was super cute! The hotel has an old world charm on the outside but modern twist on the inside. On the bottom floor they have a restaurant/bar. We went for dinner and breakfast and the food was excellent both times! Check in was a breeze, parking was plenty. Area was walkable.
