8/10 Very good

Room with sea view, very clean and comfortable. Bathroom very modern and spotless. Only negative was the room was very cold on arrival. We expected the heating to be set on automatic but this wasnt the case. When we switched it on the room heated up nicely. Also, there was only one hand towel and one face cloth provided to share with 2 people

Comfy clean room. Choice of 3 places to eat in the hotel and food is really good. 5* breakfast! Wow Used the gym, it was a bit too warm in there but that’s the only fault I could find!

Solid place but no AC

Was a nice hotel. Happy about the price and cleanliness. Location was good but a little far if you want to be in the center of the city. No AC which I was taken back by just a fan in each room. Staff was very kind.

Nice, a bit dated & isolated but on beautiful Galw

The main level, reception, lobby, & restaurants & bar were very pretty. Furnishings a bit dated. Nice location across from Galway Bay & Salthill Promenade. 45 minute walk from Eyre Square & Galway City Center so a bit isolated
