The hotel is in walking distance from the bus/train station and the Dock to get to ferry. Staff is very polite and accommodating to unusual request like placing the med in the fridge safely. None of the hotels in Ireland provide a small fridge which would have been perfect to store drink or meds. Breakfast food was very good though not too many varieties.

The hotel is centrally located in Galway. Everything is within walking distance yet it is tucked away in a quiet corner of the city. The food and drinks at the hotel are delicious and the staff is accommodating. Something to note is that the heater in the room automatically turns off in the middle of the night, so the room got chilly during the wee hours of the night. I told the staff this and they kindly provided me a second comforter and portable heater for my room. I appreciated the extra service the staff went!
