Rooms in need of a refurb. Breakfast had no vegetarian options and the manager didnt seem to understand this his suggestion of spinach and vegetables as a vegetarian breakfast was an insult.

Halloween Stay
Despite our room being a little late in being ready, the hotel was perfect for our needs. A very clean and well maintained pool, clwan and comfortable rooms, delicious food and very friendly and accommodating staff. Its perfectly located for relaxation but close enough to venture into Galway City centre. Bus 409 cost €5.60 for a family of 4 into the city and the pick up is a few hundred yards from the hotel with the drop off practically at the hotel entrance. Will we return? Absolutely. It'll now be our go to Galway hotel.

The property is old and certainly not environmentally friendly. The washroom could use upgrades to the flushing system to save water. Overall room was larger than other hotel we stayed in Ireland. The hotel is a bit far from downtown area
