A very nice hotel near all the action of Galway City! We enjoyed the trad session on our last evening there! A cozy bar area that serves an excellent Irish coffee!

The room was large and clean. The staff was very nice and helpful. The breakfast was the best we had while in Ireland and we stayed in four different hotels. There were lots of options to pick from. Parking was fine. We never had a problem finding a space in the hotel garage. Overall great stay!

We booked two rooms and were upgraded to the 5th floor penthouse at the city point apartments, which was very nice. The view was gorgeous, with the ocean within view of almost all windows. Underground parking garage. Unfortunately there is no AC at all and the floor to ceiling windows create a greenhouse - it was dangerously hot. And the absolutely torturous part is the fact that the bar across the street plays music til 2 am on the weekends. So leaving the windows open to let the heat out meant hearing music blasting til 2 am, then the sun rises at 430 and the seagulls start. Not the hotel's fault, but it was crazy. But the hotel room itself was nice, it was nice to have a full kitchen, it took some time to figure out the washing machine and the dishwasher we never figured out. There's a huge rooftop patio which was beautiful, also very nice to have. Walking distance to Shop Street, which was also nice. Some good, some bad.
