This is a beautiful hotel! We had a large two room suite for three people. Plenty of space. It was quiet and lovely. Nice balcony. The restaurant has a cool view, food was tasty. We didn’t get to use any of the amenities since we only stayed one night. The location is perfect. Loved Galway!! Would recommend and will definitely stay again!

Great hotel, probably the best one in Galway. Bar, lounge and restaurant were excellent and the gym/sauna/hot tub are major highlights. Easy walking to everywhere in town. One tip: don’t book smaller than the Double room. Even that size is pretty snug.
