Clean, parking on site but costs12.00 euros a day. Clean, adequate. Had a second window to cut out street noise. Nice staff. This hotel was overpriced for what it was. Within walking distance of LatinQuarter so I am guessing that’s why it was priced as high as it was. Biggest complaint was the bed was not a queen but two smaller beds pushed together leaving an uncomfortable seam to sleep on.

Great stay at the hotel. Parking was convenient and 12 euro per day in a covered secure lot. Bonus that breakfast was included during the stay. Nice staff. Hotel was clean. Room was comfortable, cool, and the hotel was centrally located to walk to all points of interest in Galway. Would stay again.

My husband and I stayed for 3 nights here in Galway. This was a perfect hotel, it was just a short walk to town and about a 45 minute walk to the beaches. The breakfast that was included was delicious! The beds were fairly comfortable. One thing we realized were the walls were very thin and you could very clearly hear people in surrounding rooms and in the hall, not that big of a deal though. Overall I would stay here again and would recommend this hotel to a friend traveling to Galway.

From the property it is an easy five minutes walk to the centre. We liked our spacious clean modern room. Staff on the front were friendly efficient and helpful. It would have been helpful to have had a towel rail in the bathroom as we had no where to hang out towels to dry.
