We loved the location of the hotel. Not only near to everything, but at least three pubs right on the same street.
Pros:

Fabulous location. Attentive staff. Bar on premises would live music on the weekend . included breakfast.

Cons:

The breakfast service was a bit chaotic and poorly organized. They clearly need help and re-organizing how they handle breakfast.

A nice stay in central Galway
Pros:

The property is very well located and the room was very spacious. Staff was extremely kind and one of the highlights of the visit. Lift is a very nice amenity not to be taken for granted.

Cons:

The room wasn’t all that well maintained - from sink not draining properly to the room itself being a bit on a shabby site.

Glad to go home to my wonderful bedroom
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

The room was minute for the price , it wasn’t possible to turn off T.V. had to cover TV in order to sleep.
Breakfast provided was extremely poor .
We booked and paid for two nights only stayed for one ,
We wouldn’t stay there again or recommend it to anyone.
Ridiculous money for what it was .

Pros:

Nice location, away from the busier streets bit still close to the center. The room was okay even if it only had roof windows. The employees were very nice and helpful all the time.

Cons:

Quite an old building, needing some renovation. The room's floor is covered with carpet, which is not the most hygoenic and allergy friendly thing (unfortunately quite common in Ireland I guess).
Breakfast could have more options but it was okay.

Very nice hotel, friendly and helpful staff. The food was great. Only a short walk to Eyre Square makes it easy to get around. Would stay again, really enjoyed it.

No repetiría
Pros:

Habitación amplia y limpia. Buen desayuno. Muy bien situado.

Cons:

Difícil conciliar el sueño por los ruidos externos. La habitación no está aislada de los ruidos, habiendo tres pubs al lado y un supermercado, y siendo una calle principal de acceso con el consiguiente tráfico.

Nettes zentral gelegenes Hotel an lauter Straße
Pros:

Das Hotel befindet sich in unmittelbarar Nähe zum Bahnhof und zum Stadtzentum ist es nicht weit. Das Zimmer war sehr gut. Das Hotel hat ein sehr nettes und gemütliches Cafe. Das Frühstück war sehr gut und man mochte sich im Frühstücksraum gerne aufhalten.

Cons:

Das Zimmer war leider Richtung Straße und gegenüber eines Supermarktes, der früh morgens beliefert wurde. Das hat man auch bei geschlossenem Fenster mitbekommen.
