Everything was great. The front desk staff were very polite and helpful. The room was clean. The only negative was parking offsite and hauling luggage to the hotel but that was stipulated upfront and the hotel did validate the parking fees.

8/10 Very good

Located right in the heart of Galway, literally 3 steps out the door, you’re in the middle of the lively street. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the rooms were very clean, but they were pretty small. However it was so centrally located it evened out. The only downside was no air conditioning. I know that a lot of Europe doesn’t have air conditioning but fans were provided, however, you had to keep the windows and drapes open to get the outside air, which then made sleeping very difficult.

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The location was absolutely perfect, right in the city center and close to many restaurants and bars. Upon arrival they directed us to a parking ramp and gave us a discount ticket for when we left to cover some of the cost. We parked overnight and it was only 11 euro. We did not have any issues with noise and room was very comfortable.

All the staff where unbelievably helpful and welcoming. The location is superb, and as we were staying there with a 1 year old, everything was so close by. Tad noisy yes, but we knew it would be, and they put us on the third floor, so it was grand. Staff couldn't have been kinder to us and our son, so we'll definitely be back
