We stayed in the hotel on a very, very warm day, so the rooms can get hot and uncomfortable. The staff relocated us to a room with AC, due to health concerns, but in general, there rooms are only cooled by a small desk fan. The staff were helpful and accommodating and we enjoyed the complimentary drink tickets and breakfast.

Hotel was very nice overall. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The restaurant / bar area was very nice, although the food itself was average at best. The staff was as helpful as possible. At night the girl serving as hostess was also the one who checked us in. Although the hotel wasn't in the heart of the main shopping, restaurant and pub area it was a quick taxi ride to get there. Parking on site was very convenient.

Plenty of parking room, and free. The staff was very cordial and accommodating. Our room was terrific! Large and comfortable. The shower was easy to figure out, and great Irish-sourced toiletries. We had dinner there one night, and I was delicious and filling. It seems that a lot of locals come here for dinner, and I can see why. We easily took a couple trips back and forth to Eyre Square. The bus stop is right in front of the hotel, is only a couple euros, and runs often. We also did a load of laundry across the street in the lot of the Circle K. Even though there are busy roads near the hotel, our room was very quiet. And we had a great view of water.

Upon arrival the lot was completely full due to a match nearby. But when I parked illegally and went to check in, the lovely receptionist, Kelly, spoke to the restaurant and asked that I be allowed to park in a specific spot not typically allowed for patrons. So appreciated after the drive from Dublin in the rain.
The room was very large, with a separate lounge area and was generally clean. It was a bit musty and could have used a dehumidifier but opening the windows helped. The bathroom was very large but didn't have the best smell, again i think the humid air was part of the cause. But the shower was great and got very hot.
It should be noted that this hotel is well aligned with the restaurant next door. When we slept in late and arrived to eat right when breakfast was ending, they still accommodated us and it was delicious. Also, the wait staff was super helpful with bus info to get into town.
When booking I didn't realize how far outside of the city center we were and ended up walking once, a good 15-20 minutes, and then taking the bus other times.
Also, for those planning to rent a car there is a circle K right next door.

The property was unique in that it is above a pub/restaurant. The room was very spacious, but the carpet was obviously stained and needed a good shampoo cleaning. The room itself was clean in every other way. It had all the amenities one would want in a hotel room.
Breakfast was not included. We ate at the pub below and had a fantastic breakfast of avocado toast with a poached egg and arugula/rocket. Delicious and healthy. We also had an açaí bowl which was wonderful too, as were the fresh baked scones.
This hotel was not in walking distance to downtown Galway which is something to be considered. We Uber’d to downtown where we ate at Monroe’s. They had a great Irish stew and a great roast chicken dish. We recommend both.
All the staff was friendly and welcoming in both the hotel and restaurant.

The staff were incredibly welcoming and kind and considerate. We spent a fair amount of time, enjoying meals and beverages at the restaurant, which was fantastic. What would’ve improved our stay was a matter of temperature and comfort in the actual room. It was hot. Perhaps having a fan or should the hotel install a split unit air conditioner to make for a more comfortable night sleep. The outside area was noisy, and therefore leaving the window open impacted ability for a good night sleep. How compliments to the staff for their thoughtfulness and kindness.

Quant place in Galway

So this is a boutique hotel so be aware that service will be a little different. Overall our experience was good. We were awakened on our last night at 11:30 pm with loud banging doors from the room next door which lasted for 30 minutes. We contacted the manager (no one at the front desk so we had to go to the attached bar) but the banging didn't stop for another 20 minutes. Otherwise the room was clean and comfortable. A fan was provided as there was no air conditioning. The fan di it's job and we were comfortable sleeping. The bed was comfortable and the coffee and tea were replaced daily. The coffee pot was dirty on the outside but cleqaned up easily. The attached restaurant had really good food and is accessible from the rooms.

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.

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.
