This place is well maintained. The breakfast was great with lots of options. My only complaint was that the pillows were either too fluffy or too hard. Staff was friendly, would stay here again. If you're looking for walking distance to the main part of town, this isn't for you.

Worth a stay

Overall a nice experience but breakfast service is a bit laboured and chaotic even though it’s self-service apart from getting your own Tea and Coffee. They put a big emphasis on Green which is great. In our room there was some chipped paintwork and a few other cosmetic touch ups required. The gym is excellent.

Excellent modern hotel in Galway

This is a really wonderful, up to date and modern hotel in Galway City. It was very easy to get a taxi from the Galway train station to drop us off at this hotel. Our room was clean and the beds were very comfortable. We also appreciate this hotel is attached to a fitness center with an absolutely beautiful aquatic Center with hot tub, steam room and dry sauna. The showers are absolutely spectacular in the brand new locker rooms. They have a beautiful full service dining room restaurant as well as a grab-and-go fresh made coffee shop. The lobby is modern and up-to-date and all of the staff at this hotel were friendly and helpful. We definitely will stay here again.
