The main problem was that the entrance doors to the hotel would not close resulting in the large foyer, where guests mingle, being extremely cold and unpleasent.

Amazing location. The hotel is a little dated but it was still comfortable. And the location and views are worth any negatives.

We had everything we needed at this property and enjoyed the amenities and view of the ocean. Wish it was a little closer to the main restaurants and shops. Would recommend.

Great view of Galway Bay from our room! Not walkable to the Latin Quarter but close enough for a short uber. Great restaurant and pub on premises and great walkable beachfront and garden areas with a block!

The property looks much nicer online. It looks more resort-y online. In reality it’s an average hotel near a beach. Staff were nice enough. Temperature in room cannot be adjusted and opened windows let in smoke and noise. No wash/face cloths in bathroom. Pier restaurant description seemed to be “fine dining” but was more of a cafe experience.
