The hotel's location is perfect, right in the city center with easy access to major transportation hubs while being clean and spacious.

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.

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.

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.
