Nice hotel with some decent on site dining options and a cafe. The room was perfect for our five person family. You could technically walk to downtown Galway, but it’s just far enough out to justify a drive.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The property is nice enough. It says it focuses on families, but the pool closes to chiodren under 17 at 7pm. We tood the front desk that after dinner we were heading there, they did not tell us it closed at 7 for our kids. Also, bring your own swim cap or buy one from them for 3 Euros a piece, or you cant swim. Breakfast was decent. Not a hard pass, but not really the best option for families

Clean and comfy but needs updating

Very large hotel, easy free parking out front. Rooms need updating but were clean and comfortable and good size. Buffet breakfast has all the options for a full Irish breakfast plus oatmeal and fruit. Location is not good for walking to anything, but this is a good choice if traveling by car.

We liked the hotels lobby and common areas were huge and modern.. the staff was friendly and helpful when we need anything .. Our room needed more dusting but everything else looked clean and the beds were really comfortable.. rooms are spacious.. Laundry was unconventionally so far .. but free which was nice (as we are traveling for 3 weeks) We loved Galway and your hotel

Overall ok properly but not very good value. Facility outside is very nice but room is basic and does not match the lobby etc. was disappointing but the staff was very nice. Also location is not very close to downtown and will need a car or take the bus.
