Reccomend this hotel

This is a great hotel in a fantastic location. Rooms were large and clean. Beds were a little hard but my husband thought it was just fine. Location is great, a minute walk from Eyre Square and 5 minutes from the harbor. Staff is extremely helpful. The best part about them is if your driving a car you can pull up and they will have someone drive your car to the car park and give you a discount. So you don't have to struggle with trying to find a garage or parking. Was a huge help. They also will go and get it when you return. Dont forget that tip or you will go crazy trying to find a place to park.

Missable city

When we arrived, I asked for a quiet room. The clerk ignored me and handed us keys for a room on the 1st floor. I asked if we could be on the top floor. She said that the 1st floor was the quietest and that we would have to wait for a room on the 3rd floor. We checked the room on the 1st floor, it was right on the street. When we went back to ask for the room on the 3rd floor, the two people ahead of us got rooms on the 3rd floor without waiting. Again she told us we would have to wait for the 3rd floor. When we checked the room on the 1st floor again, we noticed that it was a smoking room and reeked of cigarette smoke. The clerk finally agreed to give a room on the 3rd floor but we had to wait 45 minutes for the room. She apologized for the wait but it was too little and too late.

Sightseeing tip: Not Applicable

We took the bus trip to the Cliffs of Moher. It was very enjoyable but Galway itself is very small and has tons of tourists. Definitely stayed too long (3 nights). This is a missable city.
