Great staff and close to transit for downtown Galway. They have renovated rooms on the first floor that they post on their website, but most of the rooms are outdated and not the renovated, new rooms pictured. You would have to pay a premium for those rooms. It felt a little dishonest, and that’s why I give it 3/5 stars. We did experience a plumbing issue, and we were able to be accommodated. They were quick to help and very attentive.

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

The overall stay was OK. The hotel was clean. Staff was friendly. The only issues I had was the rooms were dated. By that I mean, nothing seemed up-to-date/modern and the bathtub/shower seemed to very cheap and was very slippery and did not have an anti skid mat.

Not a bad place just seemed very average. Not sure if it's always like this but during our stay there were so many kids. The dining room was very loud with kids. Not a bad thing especially if you have kids but for a young couple without it was not what we were looking for. The room and facilities seemed a bit dated but we're mostly clean. My bath towel looked like it had a spot if something on it so I just used a hand towel. Personally I wouldn't stay here again but it wasn't a bad place, just not for me.
