Lovely staff and facilities, and great value

Good value, very helpful staff and convenient location with adequate parking for a motorcycle. Breakfast was very good value with ample choice of breads cheese and pastries and fresh coffee. Although we vacated the room by the required time of 10am, we were able to sit comfortably in the lounge/dining area while we planned our journey and charged our phones, with no pressure to leave.

Stayed one night, very friendly and helpful staff, very clean. Small but very nice room, beds were comfortable and there was a mini fridge! I felt like I was sharing a college dorm room with my mom. lol She likes to watch tv at night, when booking I did not realize the room did not have a TV. Next time l'd probably stay at a hotel considering the similar price range. The parking lot has very limited parking. Overall a good stay.

This was such a lovely base for exploring Galway. The room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. We loved the communal area where we could make a cup of tea after exploring. Would highly recommend!
