Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had clean and comfortable rooms in a great location, perfect for exploring the area. The breakfast was lovely, but the room was a bit small for the price paid.
The hotel's location is perfect, right in the city center with easy access to major transportation hubs while being clean and spacious. The service was excellent with helpful and friendly staff, although a bit inconsistent. The dining experience had some shortcomings with cold food and slow service, but the French pastry was a highlight.
I loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were spacious and offered a beautiful view. The lift was a bit tricky to operate at first, but overall, the comfort of the room was fantastic. The service was exceptional, with honest and trustworthy staff who went above and beyond to help me when I accidentally dropped my phone in the bar. The location was perfect, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and just a short walk to Eyre Square and other attractions. The onsite amenities like the pool and spa added to the convenience. The dining experience was good, although the main course was just okay. Overall, a great value for the money.
I didn’t expect much for the money paid. The rooms had no heat, no bath, and no hanging space for my clothes with a chair blocking the wardrobe. However, the hotel staff were excellent and hard-working, especially at lunchtime. The location was quiet yet within walking distance of the city center for pubs, shops, and restaurants. The dining experience was quite ordinary compared to a few years ago, nothing to brag about. Despite its drawbacks, the hotel has something special and is worth considering.
The hotel is in a very nice location, near Eyre Square and Shop Street, offering spacious and comfortable seating. The rooms are large, modern, clean, and fresh; however, the music was too loud at times. The staff was friendly and helpful, although there was room for improvement in checking on guests' well-being. The dining experience varied, with a large variety but slower service on busy mornings. The facilities include steam rooms and a pool, adding to the convenience of the location.
This hotel exceeded my expectations with its amazing rooms but had some downsides during my stay. The service was top-notch, the location convenient, dining was a hit and miss, and the facilities left a lasting impression.
The hotel had a lovely room with a great view of the lough, but it was really cold. The service was friendly and helpful, although not very proactive in serving. The location was nice being in town and offering a decent water view, but not convenient for walking the town. The dining was busy but could have been a little better. Overall, it was a mixed experience.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms had a terrace but were unfortunately located adjacent to a noisy air conditioning/heating plant. Check-in time was delayed until 4 pm, which was inconvenient. The service was adapting to new circumstances, but communication was challenging at times. The location was great for exploring Galway on foot but lacked a welcoming ambiance. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some dishes not meeting expectations. Despite some drawbacks, the facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
The hotel was wonderfully comfortable and really spacious. The staff were generally friendly and helpful, but the service was a bit slow at times. The location was amazing, being close to everything in Galway city, although there were some issues with cross-contamination. The dining experience had nice quality selections but was a bit overpriced. Overall, a mixed experience with some great aspects and a few downsides.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room was brilliant, overlooking Lough Atalia, bright, and close to reception with spotless cleanliness thanks to the fantastic housekeeping staff. The service was top-notch, friendly, and helpful, making my experience even better. The location was amazing, close to everything in Galway city. The dining was superb, offering an extensive, tasty, and fresh experience. Overall, a fantastic value for money stay!
The hotel rooms were exceptionally clean and comfortable, but there was a mix-up with the booking leading to some inconveniences during our stay. The service was pleasant and helpful, although there were some lapses in attention to detail. The location was nice but not very convenient for exploring the town independently. The dining experience offered a good variety of dishes, but the service during peak times was under pressure. Overall, the hotel provided a decent stay with some areas for improvement.
The hotel had a smoking area near our window which made it quite noisy and bright, not the most relaxing experience. Despite this, the room was spacious with a superb view of the bay. It was on the pricier side for a 4-star hotel and lacked some of the expected service quality.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were nice, with very comfortable beds, but they tended to get crowded with tour bus guests. I even had a room assigned to me, only to find out it was given to someone else later. Despite these issues, the room was spacious, and the bed was extremely comfortable.
The hotel had comfortable and clean rooms, and the really friendly staff exceeded our expectations. Settling in was easy, and the temperature was very comfortable. However, we had to search a bit for some things to be done.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were worth the money, providing a perfect retreat after a long day of driving, but the lack of balcony access and a broken door handle with a sharp edge were disappointing. On the bright side, the rooms offered a great view of the water.
