I stayed here from the 1st - 4th January with my pre-teen children. We were very pleased with our stay We think it's a great hotel for families.

There were supervised activities arranged for children from 9am - 1pm and again from 5pm - 10.30pm including a trip to the cinema for the older children on one of the nights so parents get some childfree time to relax. The children were split into 3 - 6 year olds, 7 - 10 year old and 10 - 16 year olds and there were a number of playrooms to cater for the different age groups. We only saw the playroom for the older children and it was well equiped. My children didn't get to avail of these activities as we were visiting family in the area but managed to fit in a visit to the swimming pool and enjoyed it.

The bedroom was spacious and modern and we all thought the beds were very comfortable. Every morning our room was serviced while we were at breakfast.

We thought the breakfasts were great. There was plenty of everything available, no queues either. We had dinner one night and enjoyed it. There was entertainment in the bar at night but we didn't avail of it.

We found all the staff that we met very helpful. When we were checking out the receptionist offered warm water and de-icer as it had snowed overnight.

The only thing that irritated us but was not the hotels fault was other guests that were up until at least 1am or later in the bar with very young children and letting them run out in the foyer and corridors. Then when the parents were drunk they came back to their bedrooms letting their children run ahead screaming and shouting with the parents then shouting after them resulting in other guests been woken. We were woken on the first night and found it hard to get back to sleep. We've had similar happen in other hotels on occasion but it was drunk adults who woke us.

We will definitely stay here again

  • Liked — The range of activities laid on for families
  • Disliked — Been woken up by drunk guests and their screaming children at 1am

The rooms and whole hotel are very modern and comfortable. Nice pool and gym. The hotel bar looked nice but didn't actual go in.

It was too far from Galway center for my taste. (8 - 10 euros to get a cab into town). Galway is an excelent/fun/young city and I wish i had stayed right downtown.

We've stayed in this hotel several times and it's a good little, albeit basic, hotel. The rooms are large (by European standards), clean and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfasts (on the B&B rate) are fine, and the restaurant is also fine for dinner. They have more than adequate parking (a real "treasure" in Galway) and a great pool and recreation facility. It can be busy sometimes with bus tours, but all-in-all it's a nice, friendly place to stay.

Stayed here for 2 nights with a meal included. The overall impression of the building is modern and clean. Rooms are nice and as expected for a days hotel. The room was very hot which in itself is a good complaint, but i've read a previous review which also makes the same comment so I would question the heating system effeciency. Breakfast is hard to believe it is so bad. I'm not opposed to buffet espeically for a busy hotel like this one as it eliminates bad service. But if u are gonna do buffet...well do buffet. this was more like scavaging as there was nothing to choose from in the buffet even though my partner and I arrived down 20 & 40 mins before the end of service on each morning. there was little or no choice and on the second morning no choice. no bread no dairies no scrambled egg no sausages no fried egg no bacon no tomato no nothin. Dinner was not much better. the leisure centre as i saw it was nice but my partner thought it was dirty probably something to do with the sanity towel on the floor and lack of soap in any dispenser in the toilets. The standard of service throughout the Hotel was what you would expect though as the staff young & old,national & non national were very polite and professional. Average hotel with below average food!

Excellent value for money on this hotel. The facilities were great, the staff couldnt have been more helpful and polite, and very little of the meal could be faulted.
Very well maintained large hotel just on the outskirts of the main city centre.
