From the moment l arrived to this beautiful hotel l was blown away, first off all parking right outside and free! The staff at check in were so polite and helpful, they had us checked in within 2 mins. Loads of lifts to your floor/room, the family room we had was spectacular, from the big comfy beds and pillows, the bathroom was perfection, everything you need, towels, face cloths, shampoo, body wash, soap etc it was gleaming, they really do cater for everyone, the heating in the bedroom was so easy to use if your were to warm or cold it’s so easy to adjust. Great big tv to watch numerous Channels. The coffee machine was pure luxury, with coffee pods, milk sugar etc, great variety even decaf and lovely teas. My favourite has be the bar area. Just wow! Loved all the different wee areas you can eat and drink it can be private and also open, take your pic, very reasonable priced menu, it was fab, again catered for everyone, I really enjoyed sampling a couple of times of this. We were very lucky to meet the general manager we guessed he was before he told us as the staff were very attentive to every guest but also the boss lol! Guess what the boss bought us are drinks we had after our meal! A gentleman who after talking a while with him, it was clear to see he’s very passionate about his hotel. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It is So close to town, lovely walk in and so many shops on your doorstop, my first time in Galway but not my last, when I’m back l will be booking this amazing hotel! If I could give it 10 stars I would! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The location is super- right on the beach front. walking distance from Galway city. The room had double aspect views overlooking the beach. With our package we had wine and chocolates each day and bottled water. A lovely touch. Loved breakfast too.
