The G Hotel and Spa combines modern decor with great service. The colors are bold and adventurous: hot pink, purple, orange, silver. We highly recommend guests pay the fee for use of the Spa's Thermal Suite, which is a slice of relaxation heaven with a large hot tub, powerful water jets, two kinds of saunas, a rainfall shower, heated chaise lounges, and an ice bath. The food was great! However, it was difficult to reach the front desk with questions either by phone or in person. When I asked a staffer about the thermal suite, he did not know and told me to call the spa. I did not get an answer, so we went by the spa instead (and were able to book a time). The valet placed water bottles in our car without us asking.
The hotel location is somewhat removed from the Galway action but is easily accessible to major roads should you wish to explore the area. It was about a 25-30 minute walk from the hotel to the Latin Quarter. If you go (and you should!), be sure to visit the Quay's Bar and Restaurant for awesome Irish music!
I highly recommend Afternoon Tea in one of the lounges. They did a great job accommodating my gluten-free requirements. However, when they brought out my food and the waiter told me about everything on my plate, he and I both realized that the kitchen staff had accidentally placed a gluten-containing plate on my tea server. If I had not been paying attention, that could have been disastrous. So, if you have to be gluten-free, be on your toes.
