Best look like you belong

Upon arrival there was no where to stop and check in and drop of luggage. When my wife went in she felt that the staff was snooty. Everyone else we dealt with was very hospitable.

Stayed for two day visit to Galway. The hotel was nice but dated. The staff were kind but overworked it seemed. Over clean place, just needs updating and some fresh paint.

Deanna, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel

Great location and friendly staff. Easy to valet. The only small annoyance was that the rooms don't have blackout curtains. Quite a bit of light is always visible because it is right on the square.

Beautiful old hotel in a great location!

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful old hotel right next to the train station and in the very walkable city of Galway. The room was spacious, the bed was very comfortable and I appreciated the water cartons in the room. We would definitely stay here again!
