It was ok. The hotel needs some updating. The walls in our room had hand marks of self tan all up one wall, paint badly chipped, furniture well worn, stains on the carpets. I normally stay in Claytons for work and they've been great. I wouldn't stay here again.

The room was dirty and the shower & sink were not cleaned before I used them. - I wish I had taken pictures.
Air conditioning was very noisy so couldn’t sleep with it on . The room was cold in the morning and the heating did not work.
The gym is tiny and needs upgrading and expanding.
I ordered a beer at the bar and was told they didn’t have a keg available.
The breakfast is very crowded and only 2 coffee machine which are painfully slow and constantly need to be fixed by the staff. Please go back to making pots of coffee for your guests.

A little far out from the Shop Street/ marina area but the drive isn’t bad. The toilet did not flush, we had to use the bucket from the bathroom waste bin to pour water down the toilet to help it flush. It did have a bathtub/shower combo. Overall decent stay. I think if we ever go back we’ll get a hotel closer to the marina.

Not near the city center, but good for us. We were using it as a layover between driving days. Parking was convenient, a relatively spacious lot with easy to get into spots. Rooms were clean and comfortable.

Not very walkable to the downtown area but it was an easy enough drive or very convenient public transit close by.

Home 2 days early from what was meant to be a 4 night stay. Highly disappointing. Check in was just ok, no explanation of where amenities were. Room was clean and comfortable although the window was broken but left an air and noise gap facing a very busy road. We made our way to the tiny pool only to be asked to leave shortly as kids had to be out for 7pm. No one informed us. Room service again another issue. Unable to order kids meals, firstly no menu on the ordering system, waited 20 min for a call back from restaurant to be told i dont know as room service goes to different kitchen. Reception didn't know either. Ended up ordering adult goujans and chip at 19euro which were cheap frozen goujans. Very disappointing. I had steak sandwich. It was lovely. Next morning the room was like a furnace. Air con broken. Maintenance tried to fix it. Ended up packing up to move room and again another mess. Left them for the afternoon only to return to be given key cards to our room but housekeeping was only starting the room and didn't know we were due in. We had to wait downstairs again and then got a call to say our room was ready. Luggage arrived shortly. Air con now broken in this room. Told it whole hotel but Maintenance said our room and 1 other not fixed. Top it off the plumbing noise when other rooms were using facilities ended up with loud screeching from our bathroom. Rang reception. Couldnt help. Continued through the night til morn. Very litte sleep. Very sad kids and mam

Worst stay at a hotel. Dirty dirty dirty. Lobby was dirty, lights in the hall way on the way to the room we're out and our room smelled so bad.
Worst stay. The pictures are not the same.

Worst night i ever experienced. Staying with my wife and 2 year old. There was a wedding in the hotel on the same day. We were all woken around 3:30am due to a row in the corridor which escaleted into the room next to us with doors being kicked in and stuff being thrown around and screaming and shouting. My wife contacted reception who came up and removed one party. 10 mins later another person was inthe next room and another verbal row ensued before around 5am original party was allowed back up where further verbals continued. Only reason i stayed is we got our toddler back asleep eventually. Myself and my wife who is also pregnant had no sleep. On checkout it turned out our floor was not the only one with issues with a number of people complaining. We spoke to duty manager that morning who offered us a complimentary stay including meals and a refund but have yet to hear anything from the hotel - we stayed 20.07.2024 and its now 26.07.2024 as im posting this and not as much as an email. Terible experience

A quite a nice hotel easy to get to coming into Galway. There is a bus service into Galway with a stop just across the road but can take up to 30 minutes to get to Eyre Square.
A taxi cost about €20 each way which I think is expensive. Driving to Eyre Square takes about 15 minutes but parking can be expensive and not easy found. Overall I would still stay here again.

Nice hotel, good food at the bar, but the noise from the highway was very loud in our room. The pool was closed at 7:00 pm for children (the sun goes down at 10:30) when we arrived from a long day on the road. This was really disappointing since we had reserved at this hotel for the pool facility. Having known this, we would have reserved a hotel downtown. Our children are 9 and 13. They could have made a special for us.

The hotel is a bit ready for a makeover or refresh. The shower lacked good pressure and had awkward narrow and raised tub. We had to fight with it to get decent water temperature. The bed was also lopsided and dipped on the left. The breakfast was very grand and tasty. The staff was pilote and helpful.

Our family loved our stay! Bit of a drive from town but we had a car so it was fine. Excellent grocery store across the street. Pool was warm and spacious - HUGE hit with our kids! Breakfast was delicious but didn’t think it’d be worth the cost if it hadn’t been included with our particular room. Rooms are spacious and clean, staff wonderful. Would happily return.

My partner and I and our toddler booked a night away for a treat as the hotel was recommended to us. We were put in an interconnecting room which we were not made aware of at check in and had guests on the other side. In the evening we had knocking on our interconnecting door around 11pm and again a few minutes later. The phone in our room rang and it was the duty manager to inform me that there was a noise report of screaming from our room i have a 3 year old toddler so there was no screaming at 11pm at night. Again around 12pm there was 3 very loud bangs on our door and another report put in about our room. My 3 year old had been woken from her sleep to the banging and was frightened to go back to sleep
I reported this to reception and we did not hear anymore banging after that. All in all it ruined our night away with our toddler which started off as a lovely evening relaxing in the pool until 7pm with her. It has frightened our toddler to go to another hotel to have the same experience again.

We only stayed the one night, but we’re very pleasantly surprised by how luxurious, clean and well appointed the hotel is. The mattress and pillows were the most comfortable of any hotels we stayed in In Ireland. Only downside was the number of people lining up for breakfast.

Overall good hotel - not right in the city center but a short taxi drive. Restaurant and staff were great. We could not get the AC to work well at night though.

Good front desk and restaurant service. Clean. Free parking.
Pool closes at 8:45 sharp, we were unable to use after dinner.
Not as quiet as other hotel we stayed at. The room shared a door on each side (which is locked) but you can hear next door conversation.

We loved the room. It was roomy, pretty clean and comfortable. However, this hotel must be going through an identity crisis. Management needs to decide whether it is a hotel or a nightclub. You CANNOT cater to both. We were on the 3rd floor and two floors below us there was a party going on and all we could hear (and feel) was the bass from the music. I finally called the front desk just before 1 AM asking when the music would be turned down/off. The front desk attendant apologized and said it was a 21st birthday party that was going until 2 AM. I had my 3 children with me and they finally fell asleep a little before 2 AM. I was up until after 2 AM because once the music ended the party spilled out into the area just outside the main entrance of the hotel and drunk partygoers were being very loud just below our window. What kind of a hotel thinks hosting a party with loud music until 2 AM is a good idea? Unfortunately, this hotel is all about making a profit and not about the comfort of their guests. I would think that most hotel guests expect a quiet, comfortable place to sleep when making a reservation. I don’t think that is too much to ask.
