Best Location and better Customer Service!
The location can't be beat. It is literally on Eyre Square in the heart of Galway, right next to 10 Euro a day carpark and 2 minute walk from the Train station. The breakfast was huge and tasty. I will definitely return. The part that stood out was the customer service! From reception to the dining room to the cleaning staff everyone was so nice and went above and beyond the usual. They didn't just help. They took the time to chat and offer advice. It was so welcoming. WELL DONE TO ALL!

Fantastic team working there. Everyone was grand and friendly. Hotel was clean and loved the colors and uniqueness of the hotel. They had to deal with an unfortunate and out of their control issue regarding the water supply but they had a great solution in place and handled it fantasically. I hope other people were understanding and kind to the team onsite because they handled everything greatly.

Couple stay
Lovely comfortable room, facing the christmas market which was nice. One drawback is npise but the room has ear plugs and your advised of noise upon check in. Car parking is in qpark and you pay €10 for 24hrs with a validated ticket from the hotel

The hotel is right on Eyre Square so in the heart of everything. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Hotel was very quiet even though it was right next door to The Skeff bar.
