There are so many things to love about this hotel that its hard to even start the list. What looks like an office building on the outside completely surprises on the inside. The service was absolutely amazing - a true 5 star experience (although unlike normal 5 stars hotels there is nothing stuffy and snobbish about this place - in a good you can relax way). From the minute the car was taken by the valet we were treated like royalty.

On check in they asked for both of our signatures (I can only assume so that we could both sign for drinks etc - had never seen this before but quite intelligent). We were brought around and up to our room. We had booked a luxury room and although we looked out onto the street it was so quiet that we could have been in the middle of the country. The room itself was just beautiful and had loads of quirky little bits of design just waiting to be found and adored - cupcakes, the softest slippers I have ever had in a hotel, etro toiletries and every other thing in the hotel. The bed was definitely the most comfortable I had ever slept in - "like sleeping on the back of little lambs and the duvet made by magical fairies" (his quote not mine).

The reception rooms downstairs are all beautiful and the cocktails - well I should really stop here before I gush too much. We missed dinner but breakfast was absolutely yummy. On leaving I can only say that if I won the lotto I would love to live out the rest of my days there!

I will definitely head back - next time hopefully to a suite. Spend the few extra Euro for a fabulous hotel in Galway and you wont be disappointed.

We were initially slightly disappointed with the location of the g as it is situated on an out-of-town retail park on one of the main roads into Galway, however this soon changed.

We were met at our car at the front entrance, which was then valet parked. The reception staff were friendly and helpful and offered to show us around the hotel before taking us to our room - we were upgraded from a superior room to a luxury suite! A great first impression.

The lounges, bar and restaurant are glamourous and stylish and staff are very attentive, without being intrusive. We had two very nice breakfasts and also ate good food from the bar menu one evening. On Saturday evening the hotel bar had a good buzz and there was also a live jazz band.

Our room was huge with a great double shower and bathtub, and the bed was really really comfortable. There were complimentary cakes and plenty of water on arrival.

Other highlights inluded a very helpful and approachable concierge and lovely cocktails.

We'd definitely recommend the g and look forward to going back.

Myself and my boyfriend stayed in the g as a treat at the start of the year. I'm from Galway, so I knew the location itself wasn't spectacular but it's close enough to the city centre and taxis are always quick to pick you up from there.
All the staff are extremely helpful and polite and although it's a 5 star hotel you can feel comfortable heading to the lounges in converse if you like.
Rooms are fab and we had the best sleep ever in the gorgoeus comfy beds.
We were only meant to stay one night but when we came back to hotel after dinner and drinks in town, there was a letter offering us a special rate for the 2nd night, which we accepted!
Riva, the restaurant is really funky, cool coaches....a lil uncomfortable (which was the only thing I can pick at!) had really good food.
Can't wait to stay here again, it was the most relaxing weekend I've ever had in Galway!

Stayed here with friends on girly weekend. 5 STAR hotel but initial impression disappointing. Just off a roundabout and has a furniture shop at the end of the building. All dark glass front and small drop off point outside front entrance. Interior out of this world. Luxurious and plush and trendy. Several lounge style areas each themed in different colours and reception staff welcoming without being over the top. The rooms are spacious, lavishly decorative and heavenly. Pity that ours looked out onto industrial estate. Toymaster, Eddie Rockets, cinema and hardware stores share car park at the back of the hotel. The restaurant however serves beautiful food and wine so all meals here are top notch. My only complaint is the location and exterior do not match the interior and your expectations of a five star hotel. The price is high but you can get a bargain in the shops next door!!
