We were really looking forward to our stay but were really disappointed. Firstly, it’s great location and staff are nice (tbh, it’s Ireland - everyone is lovely anywhere you go). But everything else was not good. From the reception confusion around our booking - they deactivated our room key mid stay and gave our room key to my family who were checking in - to a room which had poor ventilation, tiny toilets, no drainage in the bathroom, and not good breakfast. I’d probably say, find somewhere else to stay.

Lovely building - rooms were super and spacious. Staff were very helpful and worked hard especially at breakfast when it was very busy at times. Excellent áreas to relax in around the hotel. Great location opposite Eyre Park and near all the bars and restaurants. Parking in multi-storey near by. They have reserved areas for the hotel and reduced rates but wasn’t told about reserved areas when booking in which would of helped.

An old hotel and a bit dated, but location is superb and staff are fantastic! We chose to do valet parking, which was well worth the money. Breakfast is included and is a great buffet…but you can also order items from a menu at no additional charge. For me, food was great, I slept really well,staff were awesome, and location is fantastic. All I could hope for!!!

Great stay! Lovely property and room was very spacious and comfortable. The only negative would be the server never ordered my breakfast and I waited over 30 min for eggs Benedict that were frankly awful. Overcooked. But loved the hotel!

Very pretty hotel on Eyre Square!
Great location, parking is not particularly close and it is paid. The room layouts cause for quite a long walk with your luggage up various stairs and down long hallways to get to some of the rooms. Besides that, very pretty hotel, nice rooms, and unbeatable location for Galway.

The hotel is in the best location. There is no spa. It closed after COVID. Breakfast was great. I needed to upgrade my room to the best available when I got there my original room mid-tier was too small and outdated.
