Liked the top room with the window in the ceiling. Convenient for walking around Galway. Was a bit noisey, both theough the window as well ad there must have been some power tool work being done in nearby rooms. Not a huge problem, but if you’re looking primarily for peaceful rooms, maybe look elsewhere

The hotel was beautiful and the staff was great. The parking was non-existent!! The only parking was in a parking garage behind the hotel or 4 blocks down. Not convenient at all. The hotel doesn’t give you any warning in advance and there is no parking outside the hotel to pull in and find out where to park. Thankfully it’s validated so it’s much cheaper ($16). Other then the parking it’s a great hotel.

Staff was very friendly and helpful and the hotel is lovely but things kept going wrong...fuses/power blew in the rooms and staff only able to fix half the issue at 9pm, parking tickets never worked despite following directions, parking is a 5 min walk with no luggage drop out front so made it difficult for bluebadge holder and all the baby gear. Overall fine.

the restaurant and bar area are very upscale, but the staff was snobbish. the food was very bland and we hardly saw our waitress. She wasn't cheerful either, she didn't crack a smile or spend two seconds talking to us.

Loved this hotel, great location close to the square and train. But was quiet and comfortable. Not great if you want to hang out and watch tv but not why we were there so it was perfect. Breakfast is a little pricey so we mixed it up with some area cafes.

Spent two nights here and loved it. The hotel was a short walk from either the train station or the bus station, so it's very convenient for travelers exploring the area. Hotel condition was great and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Rooms were a nice size and had all the amenities to make our stay comfortable. An added bonus is the small convenience store directly across the street! Would highly recommend.
