Rooms were bigger for a cheaper price than what you would get closer in but you have to balance that out with taking a bus (10 minutes) or walking (24 minutes) into town. You are essentially staying in a mall for there are plentiful retail options (but you are staying in a mall).

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights. It was very comfortable. Staff at the reception desk were helpful. The room was spacious with two comfortable bed. It was conveniently located: 20 minutes walk to the city center and 7 minutes walk to Galway Shopping center. It was 10 euros by taxi to the city center bus stop. We had dinner at Gatto Rosso at the Square and coffee at Cafe Nero. We did 2 bus tours: one was to Cliffs of Moher and Burren; the other was to Kylemore Abbey. Both were excellent. I would highly recommend this hotel.
