Reviewed Apr 29, 2026So close to the harbour and city. Very friendly staff.
The car park was a bit of a pest because we had to unload and then move to the multi storey along the street. But it is to be expected in the centre of the city. They do give discount on the cost.

Reviewed Apr 28, 2026The staff here were awesome. Especially the two lads holding down the front desk in the evenings and at night. This is the best location in Galway. It was so easy to get everywhere from here. Tons of great pubs and restaurants just steps away from the hotel.
Room was a little small but we didn’t spend much time in it.

Reviewed Mar 30, 2026The beds are nice and comfotable, the rooms and reception are nicely decorated. We liked that we could take a few breakfast items and coffees up to our friends who didnt make it down. The staff were really nice and helpful. We also liked that the hotel looked after our bags when we arrived and early and then when we were leaving. The 11am check out time was well liked in our group.
There wasnt much space to put our belongings in the room. Even though the breakfast was disappointing at first, it was adequate for what we needed and so we made the best of it and the flexibility of it was very positive for our group. There was no top up of barrys tea after our 1st day and no biscuits in the room. Even though this was booked a number of months ago, we were on seperate floors, this couldnt be changed due to the hotel being full.
