Excellent location for visiting the city
Pros:

So close to the harbour and city. Very friendly staff.

Cons:

The car park was a bit of a pest because we had to unload and then move to the multi storey along the street. But it is to be expected in the centre of the city. They do give discount on the cost.

Best place to stay in Galway. Easy to get to your bus pickups and a short walk to all the best places Galway has to offe
Pros:

The staff here were awesome. Especially the two lads holding down the front desk in the evenings and at night. This is the best location in Galway. It was so easy to get everywhere from here. Tons of great pubs and restaurants just steps away from the hotel.

Cons:

Room was a little small but we didn’t spend much time in it.

Ubicación excelente. Hotel con cierto encanto Faltan algunos detalles para ser un 10
Pros:

Ubicación excelente. Hotel con cierto encanto Habitación amplia con un pequeño balcón

Cons:

Al baño le faltaban remates por acabar (había agujeros para las perchas de las toallas pero estos no estaban por ejemplo) El personal nos dio indicaciones sobre horarios de comidas en Galway que no eran ciertos por lo que casi nos quedamos sin cenar.

Brilliant place, ideal location for exploring Galway
