Location: The hotel is ideally situated for exploring Galway, with many attractions and the city center within walking distance. Guests appreciated its proximity to the old town and shopping areas while still being quiet enough to enjoy peaceful evenings.(based on 4 reviews)

The location is perfect to walk around the city. The room we stayed in was clean and comfortable however very basic and could be improved with small amenities such as a fridge.

Arrived yesterday . Upgraded to a penthouse apt over looking the whole of Galway bay and over Eyre square overlooking the Xmas markets . Location amazing . Right in the heart of the city . The staff are amazing , so friendly and warm . Always saying hello and had lovely chats with them . Had some soup and sandwiches for lunch and they were soo tasty , down to the side salad garnish . We enjoyed the lunch so much we decided to have evening dinner . We had beef short rib , Irish stew and seabass and all were fantastic . I would really recommend if you stay here EAT IN THE RESTAURANT, you will not be disappointed . They have live music in the bar which was very enjoyable. It has recently been refurbished and the decor is modern but warm and cosy . Toilets spotless . So yeah if you are thinking of booking her DO IT ! You will not be disappointed. We will definitely be back .

Lovely hotel just a few minutes from Eyre Square. We had two large rooms , each with a double and two twins. Plenty of room in both . TV and coffee machine with plent of toiletries available. Bar staff very friendly . The best part of our stay was the excellent breakfast available . Usual juices/cereals , continental and the best full or mini Irish we have had. Staff here were excellent, very busy but always available if needed .Will def return in the near future.
