Hotel is older, with older style and amenities. Rooms and communal areas were clean. It is located a bit outside of the city center and within about a 20-minute walk to the square. There is an onsite restaurant with bar. Breakfast buffet was nice. Staff is friendly and helpful.

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.
