Nice hotel out of town.

Very lovely hotel a bit out of town which is an advantage. We used a taxi to go and come from the city for about 10 euros. Very nice breakfast.

LINDA, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The 3 of us stayed here for 1 night. We needed to visited a few places in town and the receptionist Rebecca was excellent and rang the taxi rank and mentioned all our destination's and made it so easy for us, we also dined in the bar and it was so tasty, room 401 was spacious and the staff. We’re so kind even at breakfast. would stay here again 100%, felt like a home from home, when back to Galway - Angela 🌻

The perfect getaway destination
david, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was clean, however it is definitely not a four star hotel as advertised. The room we booked was a superior double and we got a very big room with a double and a single bed which for a romantic getaway really isn’t it. The room was very outdated and in my opinion not worth the money. Location wise - also not ideal as you would still need to drive everywhere or take a taxi.
Carine, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a very nice room overlooking the garden. The staff was wonderful, and very helpful. We enjoyed dining at the Bistro for lunch as well.

Property was clean and quiet but a bit tired. Bed was comfortable and it was a nice walk into the centre of Galway.
Neil, 1-night trip

Quaint and nestled in an idyllic setting
Bradley, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overworked staff

The room was clean and well serviced every day with fresh towels and some days a tablet of soap was provided. Unfortunately our experience in the restaurant was not so good; the staff were so busy clearing and laying the tables they didn’t have time to ask what we wanted; on only one day out of four were we asked if we would like to have eggs cooked. Also the hygiene standards weren’t good. The dining room needs refurbishing and lacks ambience. We noted that the stairs are poorly lit.

Nice hotel for short stay

Lovely hotel with affordable prices and friendly staff. Daughter is gluten free and hotel had excellent options, one of the best weve seen. Bed could be more comfortable and windows more sound proof but overall not a bad hotel.
