We stayed 2 nights and the fire alarm went off both days, including 6:14am the second day. Apparently, it was related to the heat. Also, the window shade was frayed, allowing a lot of light through. Other than these issues, the hotel was good. Convenient to restaurants, shops, tours, buses and trains. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Basic stay was fine, however breakfast was just OK. We had dinner there the second night and that was awful. I ordered chicken Marsala and I got a whole pile of egg noodles with some white meat chicken strips and some cooked spinach. I don’t know what cookbook they were using but it was certainly not Chicken Marsala.
The staff at the front desk was very helpful and pleasant.

The hotel is simple but that’s really all you need in Galway. Housekeeping made sure I had water and towels daily even if I didn’t require service. However, the staff in the restaurant are hit and miss. Had a fantastic bartender one night, and then around noon the next day i sat at the bar for 20min before walking out because nobody that walked by even acknowledged me. You’ll also overhear staff talking about their nights out and how hungover they are. If this doesn’t bother you, whatever. Was just a bit unprofessional in my opinion. Decent place to stay in walking distance to all locations and tour pickups are nearby. Would stay again, but probably wouldn’t bother with the restaurant.

Frankly, my mother and I were very disappointed by our stay at the hotel. Our rooms were in the front of the building and were subjected to great noise and light at night. There was no air-conditioning. My mother's room had only one hard chair, and no mini fridge and no hair dryer.

Great stay, clean rooms, central location!!! Breakfast was buffet style with lota of options. The only minor issue is there is no onsite parking. It is about four blocks away. That should be expected in a downtown location like this, however. I would stay here again!!!

Location, location… Literally across the street from Eyre square. The property was well-maintained, breakfast was amazing! Our room. (217) was fully renovated and well appointed,… The only downside for this hotel is it is a bit loud with the bus stop right below our window… Everything else was perfect, the staff was so kind and helpful.

The on-site bar and restaurant was a fun spot to grab a Guinness after a long day of walking. Accessibility to shops and restaurant was so easy.

Definitely recommend this as a good spot, just understand that anywhere around the main hub of Galway is going to have a bit of noise at night

Our hotel room smelled like kitchen exhaust the entire time, it was nauseating. The tv did not face the bed. The breakfast was hit miss quality. The staff was aloof and did not ask how our stay was. The elevator was broken, we were on the 4th floor. The bathroom door did not fit the frame and you could see through. The room was not cozy- tile and hardwood only, no carpet. Which is good because it would only smell like kitchen exhaust. Galway, however, was grand!

Great staff, super helpful with all questions (where to park, how to get around) and all were so friendly. Room was clean and comfortable but I must say the pictures on the Hotel.com website make it look much brighter and more contemporary than irl. Elevator was broken during our stay, they had bellhops to help with luggage. Would stay here again, good location and fair price.

Great location! We were able to walk the city so easily! The rooms were small, but we knew that going into the reservation. The beds were comfortable and they had water for us in the fridge which was very thoughtful. We only ate breakfast once down in the restaurant and they had a lot to offer! The bar /coffee shop/restaurant vibe is super cool. The only complaint I have is that the day we arrived, the elevator stoped working, so every time we needed to go back to our room, it was a three floor walk up. Luckily my husband and I are able bodied to do so, but I can imagine older people might have struggled with it. Overall, this is a great hotel near pubs, restaurants, the bus/train station and the square. We would stay again for sure.

Great location.
Great bar-restaurant area.
Ok room.
Older carpet throughout.
The elevator was down for our entire stay even though the front desk said it would be fixed \"tomorrow\". The lobby is floor 0, we were on floor 3.

Hotel is close to the train station and the town square. It’s easily walkable to the Latin quarter, but nice to get away from all that activity when you want to end your night. Galway is a great town for music. Very fun place.

Reception desk was helpful and great. Rooms were fine although they do not replace towels or come to replace used coffee cups. Electrical outies are inconveniently placed with mirrors unavailable near them to use for getting ready, drying hair, etc. Unless you pay for the full breakfast you can’t get coffee other than what’s in the room which is sub par. Had to ask twice for more coffee supplies. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Great location.

This may not be the hotel's fault, but there is no parking provided by the hotel, even though Hotels.com lists it as an amenity. So if you're parking in the public car park and dragging luggage around, it might be a problem. We also had no wifi in our room.

The food and restaurant staff were super helpful, kind, and professional.

Staff was not helpful when live music was blaring through my hotel room walls late at night. When called the front desk he basically told me “too bad”…….. I was offered a new room the next night.
Room was adequate, fairly clean. Needs better lighting close to mirrors. The restaurant had some issues with not enough staff to take care of all the patrons. It was very clear they were frustrated, however, it’s not their fault, it’s the fault of the management for not staffing properly.

Right next to Eyre square so it’s super convenient. Not right in all of the madness of the Main Street but it is is two minutes of a walk to all of the action. It is located right next to O’Connels bar which is arguably the best.

Location was perfect far enough off the square i.e about 50 feet to be quiet at night but easily accessible to all the downtown fun stuff on Quay Street.

Our room is reasonably sized at a very nice bed and excellent shower and the staff was super friendly. Stumbling in at 3:00 a.m. from a late night session we were offered Waters all around as the desk staff got the door.

Excellent for the price and I would recommend it!
