The staff were great! The building itself was super cool & felt secure! Although not in galway city proper, the area was fantastic & would highly recommend exploring & not too far of a walk! The only thing I would say is that the breakfast was a little pricey for what was included.

Stayed one night, very friendly and helpful staff, very clean. Small but very nice room, beds were comfortable and there was a mini fridge! I felt like I was sharing a college dorm room with my mom. lol She likes to watch tv at night, when booking I did not realize the room did not have a TV. Next time l'd probably stay at a hotel considering the similar price range. The parking lot has very limited parking. Overall a good stay.
