Galway area visit

We stayed for 2 nights in this hotel in the City of Galway and we were very pleased with the room, the amenities in the room as well as the services in the hotel. We ate at the bistro both evenings and the food and service was very good. There are lovely areas to sit and relax in the lobby areas as well as the gardens. There was also ample parking. We did not use the spa or pool. The area was safe and the centre of town was about a 30min walk but the boardwalk on the waterfront was closer. The property is well positioned for visiting the Galway area, the Wild Atlantic Way and Connemara areas. Also not that far to Ennis and Cliffs.

From the moment I went through the door, the staff was amazing and my room was more than I expected. Clean, spacious with a little treat waiting for me. Christian not only helped me find a way to my horseback riding tour but also arranged taxis, and the bus back to Dublin. All the staff was professional and friendly. When I come back to Ireland I will be staying here. Top notch service all the way.

Shocked at checkin

When we first checked in we received a room that was still occupied. We walked into the room and a lady was in bed sleeping. This was a shocking experience and I cannot imagine her horror waking up with us looking at her. It was absolutely unacceptable. The receptionist that made the error didn't even apologise for the mistake nor provide anything complimentary for this dismal behavior, although she said that we would receive something complimentary for her lack of excellence. We then received a room that was without shower gel during our stay. The shower was also badly insulated and the towels was drenched with water each time we showered. The staff at the restaurant was super friendly and food was exceptional. All in all... It truly was a socking experience when we checked in and we wont be back.
