A decent hotel with nice sized rooms and large 6 ft bed.
Would not be overly impressed with rooms. Terrible water stains on ceilings in room I stayed in. nice size bathroom but no bath.
Stayed there on a wednesday night and barman was very nice but was struggling on his own. long wait for drinks. Same in restaurant food lovely but only 2 waiters seem to be ran off their feet.
Ideal stayover for shopping in Galway, this hotel is very near Terryland shopping centre, but a little distance from the town centre. Overall a nice hotel, clean and friendly staff.

We stayed here as a family for Xmas 2007. Welcomed on arrival with mulled wine and mince pies, a nice touch. We were given 3 rooms in a row, which was handy as we had a youngster who could have some independance, with parents next door.
Christmas lunch was buffet, but a wide choice of food, and very pleasant. We also chose to eat meals here other evenings, chiefly because the hotel was so far from the town centre, and the weather dreadful.
Our only complaint was that we were woken very early by some loud motor switching on, air conditioning? And could have done with more pillows.

We stayed in this hotel during a tour through Ireland. The hotel was spotless and well stocked. Our standard room was spacious and the bathroom was large also. The room had awesome included amenities such as flat screen TV, spacious shower, and lots of odds and ends including a mini fridge. THe room was very quiet. The bedding was very relaxing. Honestly, I had the two best nights of sleep I have ever had while traveling abroad.

The staff was courteous, prompt, and attentive. The front desk staff always helped with directions with a smile.

Breakfast was good. It had a lot of variety including fresh fruit. Dinner was okay. I have had better. Another disappointing thing is that there is no pay phone in the hotel. The closest was Dunnes Store about a 7 minute walk away.

All and all we were thrilled and would stay again. It is a good location, nice staff, and do not forget the wonderful bedding.

great hotel. very nice. big rooms unlike most in europe that we experienced. Everything was nice and it was a great departure from the other hotels in our other cities in Europe.

Two Issues:
1) Not really too close to the main part of Galway.

2) Internet is super expensive.

Stayed here for 2 nights. Rooms were a decent, would have liked a good sized double rather than the 2 smaller double beds we got. Bathroom OK. Breakfasts were fantastic, really really good and they ran till 11am which is always nice. Had one main meal and it was OK. Location was OK, a little far to walk at night from the main going out areas, but close enough for a daytime dander.
