Little bit out of the downtown area of Galway but super convenient if you had a car (as we did). Cute and clean room. Facility is not brand new or modern but everything was great for my teen daughter and I.

I stayed 5 nights here in an adjoining room with my 3 kids. The beds were very comfortable and I liked how there were various pillow options. The daily room refresh was lovely and my kids LOVED their pool (it was super warm - the only pool my 8 month old has liked so far). It was also so nice they had a laundry room on site (just bring your room key and your own detergent). There were two washers and two dryers. We had already been traveling for two weeks upon our arrival so it was really nice being able to run two loads of laundry! The laundry room is a bit hard to locate but an extremely kind staff member walked us all the way to the “d wing” and showed us how to fine it. The breakfast is okay - not the best food but not bad. The service was prompt though. Our dinner there I had the baked cod and it was phenomenal. My sons ordered the burger and chicken goujons and both kids’ meals were left wanting (just not great quality or great tasting). The hotel is 7-10 mins from downtown and I could always find a parking spot. Very easy spot to get to places around Galway.

Overall, the hotel was very nice. We had a great interaction with Carolina (I think this was her name) upon arrival and she was very welcoming and gave us the run down on what pubs to go to etc. We followed her recommendations and had a great night out! The rooms were decently spacious and we found the beds super cozy! The only inconvenience that we found was the rug throughout majority of the hotel (made it difficult to roll pretty heavy suitcases; we didn’t see a suitcase dolly available).

Slightly disappointed
Room was basic and awkward to get to. This was quite surprising considering how nice the lobby and restaurant/bar are. Shower in bathroom was dreadful. I found the changing rooms/showers at the pool weren’t very clean and quite dated.
