This property was very nice and safe in the downtown area of Galway. It was great to get to visit the Christmas Market which was right outside of the hotel.

The hotel is right on Eyre Square so in the heart of everything. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Hotel was very quiet even though it was right next door to The Skeff bar.

Quiet comfortable accommodation in downtown Galway
Despite being in a busy section of Galway, the room was very quiet due to the double “city” windows. The room was large, the bed comfortable, the dining area luxurious and the staff very friendly.

Great in-town venue for a short stay
This place is ground-zero in the center of Galway. Parking is off-site, in your choice of huge city parking garages about 10 minutes away. The hotel is old, but has been renovated. We found the place a bit odd, and the parking issue was the last thing we needed being challenged by driving in Ireland in the first place. The big surprise - the hotel is next to probably the nicest and liveliest bar and restaurant in town. It is another operation of Skeffington, and we spent every night there - just a walk-thru from the hotel. Breakfast? Excellent. Staff very friendly and professional. Hotel is a 10 minute walk from the Aran Island Ferry dock, which worked out great for us. Book your ferry ticket in an office about a block from the hotel.

Property was very conveniently located with short walk to the train as well as near many bars and restaurants. Staff went out of their way to be helpful and attentive. Had a great meal at the attached pub. We could hear some of the music from the pub but it was very muffled from where we were located and didn’t bother us at all. Would definitely stay again.

This was our favorite motel while we were touring in Ireland. Still would’ve been nice to have some complimentary coffee during our visit other than that it was fine.
