Poor check in experience
We had booked a double room however we were given a room with three beds in it which looked like a dormitory. When we asked for the room type we booked, we were told there were no other rooms available. When we said we weren't happy with the reason being that the hotel "overbooked" the rooms the reception staff said they'd speak to a manager. When we went down to reception the other staff member said he could offer us a "worse" room with no air con or view which we replied saying we didnt need air con and the original room had no view anyway. Upshot is, we got moved to a much nicer room despite there being no alternative rooms available. Funny that. Not a great check in experience. 1 out of the 4 reception staff was polite and helpful, the other 3 shouldn't be working in customer facing jobs in my opinion. Room was a bit tired and old fashioned but the facilities were good.

Good and Bad
Rooms are tired and this place needs a good overhaul and soon. The bar is excellent. The barman also excellent but hes leaving soon. Staff are stressed and are very much overworked but managed to just about keep drinks and food going out. 5* for the staff. Breakfast was very good. This is firmly on the tourist map and we shared the breakfast room with 120 Americans with coaches outside every morning and every evening. Needs 20% more staff and the revamp of the rooms.

We have stayed here many times in the past, and several aspects of the property continue to be excellent. All levels of human service, from the front desk to the restaurants and housekeeping, are excellent. The food in the bar is very good and the plates are generous - we ended up sharing meals because Free access to a very fine gym is also welcomed.

Staff were very friendly, food was great but the only complaint I have is where kids running around and kicking the bedroom doors especially my elderly parents bedroom door where they actually damaged the door plus it happened a few times. When we complained felt it wasn’t taken seriously. Plus a resident on our floor followed the 4 boys after kicking the doors and told front desk staff and they weren’t very worried about it or concerned. He felt they didn’t care. Another resident had kids and came running out to a few of the residents (including myself) in the hallway not happy this happened. Major problem going for need to have cameras on each floor.

Its just an old and dated property, and our room was small and not that clean. I am sure there are much better places to stay in town.

Nice hotel! Excellent brunch at The Prom. Don’t miss it. Easy access to Galway from the city bus stop just outside the hotel across from the sea walk. $1.90 one way fare to downtown Galway next to Eyre square. Never made it to the hotel pool, sauna, whirlpool, etc but will next time for sure. Just need a longer vacation!!!
