Average hotel, nice pool, poor breakfast
Pros:

Very average hotel room not particularly spacious. Clean bathroom and quiet at night. Pool was nice, pretty clean. Kiddie pool was a good size and not too deep. Plenty of parking outside. Good value for money over all

Cons:

Breakfast was uninspired- very poor fruit options and greasy hot food. Not an ideal location for us - 6-8 minute drive from salthill. Wouldn’t return in a hurry

Do not book very overpriced would never be back
Pros:

Food and bar area lovely.

Cons:

Rooms are poorly done and really poor quality one of the worst rooms we have stayed in and the bed was uncomfortable, works going in all over the hotel so the noise and dust was horrendous.
In the room paint job terrible, bathroom was outdated and old and the wallpaper ripped on walls

Quality Galway Hotel
Pros:

The room and hotel were spotlessly clean. Tea/Coffee/Hot Chocolate options in the room were great. The staff were so pleasant. There was live music in the bar on a Saturday night. Modern decor. The leisure center facilities were fabulous!
