Reception areas and room quality were good although the room we were allocated was very poorly located (dark and partly overlooked a raised platform and hotel reception - room 114.) However on request we were allocated an upgrade and the reception staff were very pleasant and helpful. Room was very clean although water pressure in bathroom was poor. Staff in dining room and reception were professional and pleasant. Hotel location was less than a 10 minute walk to the town centre and railway station which is perfect for visitors arriving by train

The hotel was very clean and everything looked new and the staff was friendly and eager to be of assistance. It was also situated a very comfortable walking distance to downtown (Latin Quarter).

I would say it would be perfect if there were drawers in the room (besides from the two very small drawers in the closet) and the lighting was significantly better. Seems like small issues, but for those reasons, I won't likely go there again. It is just a matter of small inconvenience.

We were there for 5 days and there was not adequate drawer space for all of our clothing. In addition, the lighting in the bathroom was so low that it was impossible to put on make up on (despite having a magnifying mirror on the side). Both the tiny bulb in the ceiling and the strip lighting next to the mirror were very low and golden in color. The desk light was also too low and warm, so I had to stand in the window and use a small hand mirror. I was able to call down for more towels and robes but it would have been nice to have the robes already in the room.

Breakfast looked like a nice spread but at 25 euros, it was a lot of money for a breakfast and 90% of it I wouldn't eat. Would have been nice to have a lower cost 'a la carte' option in the hotel, but Wilde across the street was a very nice place to get a bite in the morning.

The room was rather Spartan. No drawers for clothes. Plumbing was primitive( some sort of pump toilet). All electric was slave to key card. No idea how to turn on anything including coffee brewer, individual light switches, and several room lights. Only a comforter on the bed, no sheets resulting in much too warm or really chilly.
All this aside, the place was very congenial and well situated to the wonderful city of Galway.Any review would be incomplete without mentioning the marvelous FOOD! Morning,noon and night just super. Try the duck.

Our first night in we tried to order food for our kids but the phone in our room didn’t work. When we went downstairs to the restaurant it took them a while to figure it how to order food to our room. When it showed up to the room it didn’t have the drinks we ordered and the person was upset with us because we didn’t use the phone to order our food. The pool is not just the hotels pool, it is a gym that you can buy a membership to. The “kids pool” was small and cold.

Main issue was that the hotel charges residents for parking. This is just unacceptable. They offer a reduced parking rate for guests but just not good enough. Should be included with room. When I complained upon check in. they removed the fee. Also attended a ball at the hotel. Know mass produced meals will never be of high standard but their main course steak meal was of quite poor standard

The hotel location is amazing, your a five minute walk to the main city centre. The location couldn’t be better, parking was easy to get to, checking in was easy and smooth. The only concern I had was the following, I’m 6 foot 2 they have a tub shower instead of a stand alone shower. I found it to be cramped and the shower didn’t have a curtain. So the floor was always wet even with the shower towel they provide you. This may be picky, but we had to ask for face cloths they didn’t have them in the room. But over all we had a great time, breakfast was great and the seafood at the restaurant was top notch. Highly recommend the mussel.

Beautiful hotel. hotel was quiet which was great for a good night sleep. Room was clean and Beds were comfy. breakfast was brilliant. Huge Variety available to suit everyone. booked for 3 people and for a steep price of 272 euro for one night and my thoughts overall are quite disappointing. Photos of the room were obviously mis leading (1 double, 1 single in photo) as only 2 single beds in the room when we arrived. 2 bottles of water, 2 dressing gowns. 2 of everything. Room not prepared for 3. Roll out bed arrived after a quick call to reception. One dressing gown was stained in makeup so unable to use. Vending machine empty on our floor so had to go to the shop for more water. Decided to dine out in city centre and take the car. Upon arrival back to hotel, car park was full and we got stuck waiting at the barrier for some time. Went to the bar for a drink and to relax and couldn’t find anyone to serve us a cocktail. We were told “there was an event happening and all bar staff were busy trying to accommodate the guests who were present at the event” Had to settle for a more “simple” drink that was “quick” to prepare. This Was probably the most disappointing thing of all during our stay. That service is absolutely unacceptable no matter how much someone pays for a room. Left the bar after the 1 drink and called it a night. Although a beautiful looking hotel with a scenic view of the lake, The cons do out weigh the pros and I definitely would not be returning again.

Room is spacious and hotel is next to the train station and a short walk (10-15) to the center - very convenient. Love the view from the dinning room and the pub and lobby are great place to chill while we wait for our train.

Good room, after getting moved from the original very noisy (mechanical systems) room they first fobbed off on us. Breakfasts were top notch. Parking in the on-site garage was easy enough, though it sometimes took time waiting at the front desk to have the tickets validated. Very easy in/out otherwise, without any city traffic to contend with.

On-site dining (other than breakfasts) left a lot to be desired. Noisy and cold, and the food was just okay. Another hotel on the next block over really sets the bar much higher by comparison.

Elevators were quirky, with the floor buttons not staying illuminated once in motion, but they did work.

Might stay here again.

This was our third time staying here, we love Galway and find the hotel to be in an ideal location, nice food, very comfortable rooms and the leisure centre is brilliant. A highlight is the outdoor jacuzzi!

One problem we had was that on both nights, the service was very slow and haphazard during our dinner. Servers were forgetting orders, main courses taking ages to come etc. On the second night we didn’t bother having any dessert due to the long waits between courses. We thought it was just a case of bad luck where we were sitting, as on the first night we were seated around the corner in a quiet area of the bar, and understandably we were easy to miss. However, on the second night we were in a more “obvious” spot, and still found it very slow.

It certainly won’t deter us from staying again, but might be something worth thinking about for how the restaurant staff are organised and trained.
