The location for us was good as we enjoy walking and we’re happy with the 20 min walk to the shops street area. The bed was comfy too, room was clean. Daily housekeeping service was great. We did not have a luggage stand. At least one would have been helpful. The biggest issue was the bathroom. Whoever approved the design did not do it justice. Albeit it looked nice it was not practical in more ways than one. The mirror was mounted way to high. I understand it was to accommodate the shelf. But by doing that for those of us that are not at least 5’4” it is useless. All I could see when at the sink was from my forehead up. I even asked at the front desk for a step stool so I could see. Unfortunately staff were unable to supply one as it would be a health and safety hazard. Thus had to use the full length mirror in the room that had such poor lighting it was also a struggle. Also, the decision to have a half glass panel on the shower is going to result in extensive maintenance cost down the road as the water that sprays out is already showing water damage signs on the baseboards and the door. As well, the amount of water that collects on the tile floor leaves it a slipping hazard (health and safety hazard) that no floor towel could possible solve.

The staff were super friendly and paid much attention to our family (18 mo old daughter was with my wife and I). While not super close to the city center, it is a very safe and easy 20 min walk to all the bars and restaurants.

Modern hotel outside the city center of Galway. Taxi's and Ubers were quick and easy but a little pricey, $30-$40 round trip, into the city center. Rooms are large and comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful. This is a large, busy hotel and check-in line was long. Overall, I would recommend this hotel.

An average experience
Overall it was an average experience. The hotel is stated as a 4 star hotel. It reminds more of a 3 star place and absolutely overpriced. The room was extremely small and not comfortable. The hotel really loud at all times.
