Lovey stay
Pros:

Wonderful historic building in the heart of Galway. Easy walk to everything-pubs, shopping, cathedral, museum, River Corrib

Cons:

While I wasn’t bothered by it, the smoke alarm in the ceiling over the bed in my room did have a tiny led light that flashed every 30 seconds or so. It might be an issue for someone photo sensitive.

Good location. Not great breakfast
Pros:

Excellent location. Comfortable bed and clean room.

Cons:

Breakfast was only ok. Not a great selection available and prepared rolls/burritos were dried out and left overly long in the warmer. There was a limited select
selection of other hot food available. All the food and coffee was difficult to access when any other person was ahead of you. Having stayed there previously I felt that the standard had dropped significantly.
