My husband and I stayed at this hotel last weekend (June '08). The rooms were very clean and a decent size. Bathroom was nice with a good shower.
The staff at the hotel were excellent. Everyone was really friendly and helpful and service during meals was really good. We asked for a quiet room and that's what we got. The only downfall on the room is the noise from the air conditioning although you get used to it as it's a constant noise and we didn't have any trouble sleeping with it on. Also if you are there for a romantic weekend then I'd recommend getting a double bed rather than a king size bed, as the king size bed is really only two singles pushed together and dressed as one bed and so the middle of the bed can be a little uncomfortable in a king.
We ate dinner at the hotel the first night which was ok. My salad was a bit limp but the pizza was nice enough although I'm not sure I'd eat dinner there againa as there are lots of other nice restaurants in Galway. Breakfast was really good. Despite the fact that it was very busy at breakfast the staff did a really good job of catching up if stuff ran out or if tables were not set.
I also got a facial in the spa there which was really nice although a little on the pricy side.
The location is perhaps not it's strongest point but there are lots of taxis outside the door whenever we were there.
I would definitely stay there again if we came back to Galway.
