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.

Top notch!
It was a last minute decision to stay but the staff at reception (Caitriona) was excellent. So friendly , humorous and very efficient. She's a keeper! As was the host for dinner and the bar staff afterwards, all courteous and efficient.. Great staff I have to stay. Food ( lamb) was top class. Room was lovely and comfortable an d a great rate for a last minute booking.. Excellent all around.

Very nice hotel - very comfortable and has been recently refurbished. Great welcome from the staff. Location is not ideal for the city and it takes about 30 minutes to walk in but is on a decent bus route.

Clean and spacious.
Very spacious hotel. About 30 minute walk to the city center. We booked for pool but later realized you had to purchase swim hats so we did not swim. I liked that they had a coffee station in lobby where we could buy pastries and coffee. The lobby was nice and spacious. Quite a large hotel.

Family room
Check in is 3:30 but our room wasn’t ready til 3:55pm .. room was spotless clean and the bunk beds were a big hit but for a family room we had no WiFi.. kids not impressed! Rang reception and they gave me the corporate WiFi code but connection would cut out after 5 seconds .. no phone service either in our room .. room 1096.. seemed to be a black hole for any sort of reception ! Pool closes at 7 for kids so something to be aware of .. only a 3 hour window between us getting our room and having to exit pool .. kids were hungry in between so they didn’t get much time in pool .. again in morn rushed from breakfast to pool and check out is 11:30am . Seemed to have a nice kids club and we ate in the restaurant and food was nice
