Charmant petit hôtel.
Pros:

Le petit-déjeuner était excellent et copieux.

Cons:

Il faudrait préciser qu'il n'y a pas de parking spécifique à l'hôtel et qu'il s'agit de places dans la rue.

We had an amazing few days stay, would definitely recommend for a short break.
Pros:

Loved the location in the centre of a very small town with pubs with traditional music. shops and grocery stores on your doorstep and easy drive to many scenic walks and Galway city.

Cons:

Loved the location, the friendly staff that couldn’t do enough to help but with a laid back atmosphere and the amazing food.

Very unfriendly!!!
Pros:

Great location.

Cons:

A very unfriendly check in!!! We were completely ignored by the guy behind the desk who saw us standing there and when I asked to check in he just said name? Not exactly a warm Connemara welcome. The buffet was empty when we went for breakfast but a very helpful waitress got us sorted out after a while. Overall we were disappointed with the place.

Pros:

Break fast menu can be improved. Banana can be added. More options of pastry or desert can be added with menu. Fresh orange juice instead of bottle juice will be good.
