Despite our room being a little late in being ready, the hotel was perfect for our needs. A very clean and well maintained pool, clwan and comfortable rooms, delicious food and very friendly and accommodating staff. Its perfectly located for relaxation but close enough to venture into Galway City centre. Bus 409 cost €5.60 for a family of 4 into the city and the pick up is a few hundred yards from the hotel with the drop off practically at the hotel entrance. Will we return? Absolutely. It'll now be our go to Galway hotel.

The property is old and certainly not environmentally friendly. The washroom could use upgrades to the flushing system to save water. Overall room was larger than other hotel we stayed in Ireland. The hotel is a bit far from downtown area

Very nice hotel - very comfortable and has been recently refurbished. Great welcome from the staff. Location is not ideal for the city and it takes about 30 minutes to walk in but is on a decent bus route.

I didn’t like having to wait for 30mins post arrival for the room to be ready and the lack of consideration as to how we might fill that time. However, I did like the room, beds comfortable, bathroom lovely, spotlessly clean. The restaurant was lovely although chairs could be more comfy, food and service both excellent. The leisure club was also brilliant, only niggle there was the lockers not having functioning locks. Overall absolutely gorgeous hotel and really lovely stay.

Great location in pretty seaside town. Room very clean and spacious. Biggest drawback is there’s no parking for checkin or dropping off your luggage. They put picnic tables on the parking spots in front of the hotel where one would normally park to check in. This made for a very stressful checkin as their was no parking anywhere near the hotel.

The hotel was a little out of town but on the town bus line - 5mins in and very affordable- 2 euros each way. The facilities including restaurants and bar were so welcoming.
There was plenty of parking included. Cost was reasonable.

Very spacious hotel. About 30 minute walk to the city center. We booked for pool but later realized you had to purchase swim hats so we did not swim. I liked that they had a coffee station in lobby where we could buy pastries and coffee. The lobby was nice and spacious. Quite a large hotel.

Check in is 3:30 but our room wasn’t ready til 3:55pm .. room was spotless clean and the bunk beds were a big hit but for a family room we had no WiFi.. kids not impressed! Rang reception and they gave me the corporate WiFi code but connection would cut out after 5 seconds .. no phone service either in our room .. room 1096.. seemed to be a black hole for any sort of reception ! Pool closes at 7 for kids so something to be aware of .. only a 3 hour window between us getting our room and having to exit pool .. kids were hungry in between so they didn’t get much time in pool .. again in morn rushed from breakfast to pool and check out is 11:30am . Seemed to have a nice kids club and we ate in the restaurant and food was nice
