The only saving grace for this hotel is it s staff. The reception was hidden away to the right. it was very dark and jaded and worn out. Everything seemed to be painted black..

I don't think you can beat this hotel for location in Galway. If that's a priority for you, this may be the right choice. In addition, the valet parked our car for two days at no charge.
