Very overpriced (for Australian travellers with poor exchange rate) mattresses need updating. We didn’t use kitchen facilities but they looked very clean. Small private room

Galway stay over

The set up was a little strange and cramped. We had issues locating the hotel through GPS. We did appreciate the parking space

Lovely 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!

The staff were great! The building itself was super cool & felt secure! Although not in galway city proper, the area was fantastic & would highly recommend exploring & not too far of a walk! The only thing I would say is that the breakfast was a little pricey for what was included.
