Fantastic team working there. Everyone was grand and friendly. Hotel was clean and loved the colors and uniqueness of the hotel. They had to deal with an unfortunate and out of their control issue regarding the water supply but they had a great solution in place and handled it fantasically. I hope other people were understanding and kind to the team onsite because they handled everything greatly.

The hotel is right on Eyre Square so in the heart of everything. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Hotel was very quiet even though it was right next door to The Skeff bar.

Quiet comfortable accommodation in downtown Galway
Despite being in a busy section of Galway, the room was very quiet due to the double “city” windows. The room was large, the bed comfortable, the dining area luxurious and the staff very friendly.
