Loved the hotel. The hotel is beautiful and has great sitting spaces. The staff was very kind & helpful. It was a bit weird that no one answers the main phone number. Was a little disappointed that the room was so warm and we were not told it did not have ac. But everything else law was great.

Went for a one night stay, it was amazing. The hotel is fabulous staff are fabulous. it was a real 10 out of 10. The beds were super comfy, so were the pillows, the breakfast which was included in the room rate and made a super full menu, with plentiful breakfast items that wouldn’t disappoint every taste - I cannot find anything that wasn’t first class. We will stay there again for sure.

Staff were lovely, however there was a leak coming in at the window and the carpet was soaked wet. The room was very damp and musky so I would think that the leak had been there a good while so not sure if the cleaners are checking rooms correctly. I would think , I might have just been unlucky with the room as the rest of the hotel was lovely and the staff were great too.

Beautiful room in a beautiful property perfectly located within Galway - right next to the train and bus stations, but quiet enough that you never hear a thing! Also, the best vegan breakfast we had on the trip, and it's not advertised nearly enough. Highly recommended!

Excellent hot breakfast buffet &/or complimentary menu choices. Beds were very comfortable. Central location on Eyre Square was so convenient to Shop Street & all the restaurants & pubs & made our trip completely walkable. Nearby parking was close to major shopping centre.
