Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Really enjoyed the hotel. The staff was friendly, the rooms were clean, the bartender (especially Rachel) were phenomenal. My only complaints were the beds were a bit hard and the temp in the rooms were a bit warm. Other than that it was an amazing trip and I would absolutely return!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Loved that the hotel was a 5 min walk from the train station across the park. You are right in central Galway and all the action. Our room was in the rear of the hotel so it was dead quiet. They have a breakfast for 15 Euros but we chose a breakfast place right across the street. Everything is walkable from the hotel.
