Clean room, friendly check-in. Standard Irish breakfast. Shower was tiny! No frigerator in room. Felt the 250 euro rate was too high. Location was perfect to shopping, bars and restaurants.

Great location .. lovely old hotel but needs some freshening up. Large comfortable rooms, beds and bathrooms but dated and dreary. Good service personnel but front desk personnel need some “hospitality” training. Very quiet and nice even with two weddings and a bachelorette party going on.

It is the historic, central hotel in Galway. Right on the city green. Walkable to all Galway neighborhoods. The hotel offers discounted public parking nearby, a plus. The staff was professional and helpful with our questions about getting around. Our bedroom had the grand 19th century high ceilings.
