- OrlaghMarie 2/27/2022Great central location beside public transport Impressed with customer service from the outset as they had kindly allowed me transfer a booking following a cancellation during peak covid.

- Evatobin 7/11/2021Best hotel and chef in Ireland. Room was perfect location couldn’t of been better. Staff went absolutely out of there way to make sure we were looked after. Hats off to chef Ben his menu is incredible honestly the best food we have ever eaten. We had dinner the first night and decided to cancel a booking we had for the second night just so we could try more of Bens dishes. We can’t wait to return in august. Also hats off to manager David for running such a great team. It’s Not very often you see that anymore. Even the security doorman was so friendly ensuring we got a nice table out the front when it became available. Thanks again guys. See you soon.

Great deal which included breakfast. Location is superb, we were able to do multiple shopping trips haha. Staff are an absolute delight, especially Ciara on reception. Rooms are absolutely fabulous, booked a twin and got a double and single bed. Incredibly comfortable beds and loved the walk in shower, only thing was the frosted bathroom door doesn't give much privacy. Breakfast was nice but limited on hot food choice - did appreciate being able to change egg option. Plus breakfast is only til 10am. Definitely would book to stay here again :)read moreread lessmarmacby2 7/05/2022Midweek break We Loved the renovations it made our stay very comfortable- rooms were clean and the staff efficient and friendly particularly the staff serving breakfast
The location of hotel is so convenient to all Moreread moreread less - olive t 3/15/2022weekend away staff at this hotel are excellent, friendly and professional. Saoirse very friendly, helpful and managed the breakfast time very well. Night staff in bar also excellent and friendly. Staff at this hotel are a real bonus. Decor in bar/restaurant is lovely with kind of boho retro vibe. Hotel rooms are quite small. bed linen, duvet and pillows are a dream. bathroom a bit of a let down - no bath, fixture hanging off wall and I wouldn't be a fan of the opaque door that you couldn't actually close and didn't afford any privacy. Tea tray needs a bit of attention- very poor selection of tea/coffee etc, no biscuits and those awful jiggers of UHT milk. . it was a lovely touch to have prosecco and little chocs in the room - a lovely welcome. Hotel lovely and quietread moreread less469deirdreb 10/11/2020Fabulous newly renovated Stayed here solo on October and it was just perfect.. So near the town and the room was comfy and cosy..

- Mary H 7/11/2022You let us down badly The hotel needs some serious updating. I requested gluten free breakfast for my husband and despite sending me messages that “we have great gluten free options for you” we were told they had no gluten free bread to make toast!! Such a simple and basic thing to provide. When we checked in the receptionist told us they had taken note that 1 guest needed a gluten free breakfast so why did the fail to provide? The room was very small and the lift had me saying prayers when we used it as it very clunky. Obviously would not recommend.read moreread lessNaomiNi2018 6/03/2022Great location in Galway Beautiful hotel
