The location of the hotel is excellent, ideal for exploring Galway city, close to public transport links and tourist areas. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The dining experience was fantastic, although the breakfast starting time could be earlier for business travelers.

The hotel rooms were overheated, making sleep difficult, but they were lovely and spacious with a good view of the city. We weren't bothered by any noise either. However, they were so hot we had to request fans to make it through the night. The service during the daytime was very helpful and approachable, with staff being super-friendly and guiding us in the right direction for food and drinks. The location was between the rail station, the Galway Coach Center, and the Quay—great for exploring the vibrant surroundings but very small. The dining experience, even for vegetarians, was very nice, enjoying the fruit and berries with yogurt, served by an excellent and friendly waiter. Overall, the hotel provides excellent food and has great access to the City Centre.
