Probably the worst hotel we have ever stayed in. Chose from internet and hope this helps others avoid our mistake! We wanted an hotel close to Galway racecourse and this was the main reason we chose it and this was the only good thing about it - except perhaps that the couple next door who arrived at 1.30 am did... more

I was very surprised with the negative reviews I have just read about this cosy hotel. I booked two rooms over the phone for a weekend in Galway with my friends and from the first contact over the phone to the time we checked out on Sun morning I have nothing but praise for this place.

What a complete and utter disgrace of a hotel. This hotel may have good reviews below but it has been taken over by new owners so none of that applies. Firstly the hotel is hard to find and a cab journey from Galway costs in the region of 15 euros. It all started from the word go. When we checked... more
