It's lovely base for visiting some must see attractions in Galway. You could walk to a mall and all the main stores. Zappi's, where you can eat lunch, is short way from the hotel, liked this place.

In a hotel like this - mold is unacceptable.

Liked our stay here and would stay here again. Minutes from a train station, within walking distance of shopping centers and all major stores.

The hotel was extraordinary, with perfect location and staff. Lots of options for breakfast including pastries and slices of fresh bread. A wonderful beach, fantastic view. Relaxed by the pool, it was very clean, especially when the weather was lovely. There were fine internet and free parking available.

Thanks for a terrific stay, will choose the place for future trips. It is a functional hotel. Exceptionally comfortable bed, fab and warm room. Handy location, a super close walk to eyre square centre.

There was nothing I didn't like.
