Great hotel, probably the best one in Galway. Bar, lounge and restaurant were excellent and the gym/sauna/hot tub are major highlights. Easy walking to everywhere in town. One tip: don’t book smaller than the Double room. Even that size is pretty snug.

Great place to stay. Convenient location with easy walk to downtown Pubs, shops, restaurants and more. Facility is very clean and nicely maintained. Room was small but very efficient, comfortable, well provisioned, plumbing and electrical was all top-notch. Car park was a couple of blocks away, so try to find a nearby parking space or loading zone to drop and pick up luggage. We didn’t have time to make use of the pool or fitness room, but they both looked very nice and were being enjoyed by several other guests.
