Amazing location with parking

Hotel was a bit hard to find but once inside it had a fun, funky vibe. The room was clean but incredibly small and the toilet was not working properly. Parking is right next store and there is shopping and restaurants as soon as you walk out the door.

The shower was very poor. Very slow and never changed temperature really. However, the food in the restaurant was brilliant and the front desk service was great. Area of the hotel couldn't be better.

Lovely hotel

Lovely hotel in a fantastic location. Parking is literally next door - great value given the location. Staff are super friendly. And they left a nice note and a box of chocolates when I asked for something special for my gf. Lovely touch and really appreciated. The room itself is lovely, new and clean. Great bathroom and shower/bath. Zero complaints.

If you're a party person this hotel is for you ;)

The size of the rooms was decent, loved the in room coffee pot and you can't be at the location BUT the pub below was BLASTING music well past 2am and even with 2 sound machines and closed windows no sleep was to be had. Staff were polite but not friendly and with no breakfast service available we'll make a different choice on our next visit to Galway.
