Check was quick and easy. On site parking is great and easy to use. Room was nice and clean. Breakfast was nice, and flexibility was there to get what we wanted. It is also close to a gastro pub we really enjoyed.

Centrally located
The hotel is a bit old fashioned but I expected that. The room was in good condition. Shower was a disappointment since it kept going to cold water in the middle of a hot shower. The room temperature was also cold. One night there was a loud party outside at 3 AM. Then fire alarms went off twice. Other nights I got a good nights sleep & it was quiet. It’s in a good location in town & you can walk everywhere. I did not have a car & used public transportation. I was visiting family. I will be back to Galway again but might not choose this hotel.
