Highly disappointing.
Home 2 days early from what was meant to be a 4 night stay. Highly disappointing. Check in was just ok, no explanation of where amenities were. Room was clean and comfortable although the window was broken but left an air and noise gap facing a very busy road. We made our way to the tiny pool only to be asked to leave shortly as kids had to be out for 7pm. No one informed us. Room service again another issue. Unable to order kids meals, firstly no menu on the ordering system, waited 20 min for a call back from restaurant to be told i dont know as room service goes to different kitchen. Reception didn't know either. Ended up ordering adult goujans and chip at 19euro which were cheap frozen goujans. Very disappointing. I had steak sandwich. It was lovely. Next morning the room was like a furnace. Air con broken. Maintenance tried to fix it. Ended up packing up to move room and again another mess. Left them for the afternoon only to return to be given key cards to our room but housekeeping was only starting the room and didn't know we were due in. We had to wait downstairs again and then got a call to say our room was ready. Luggage arrived shortly. Air con now broken in this room. Told it whole hotel but Maintenance said our room and 1 other not fixed. Top it off the plumbing noise when other rooms were using facilities ended up with loud screeching from our bathroom. Rang reception. Couldnt help. Continued through the night til morn. Very litte sleep. Very sad kids and mam

Terrible Experience
Worst night i ever experienced. Staying with my wife and 2 year old. There was a wedding in the hotel on the same day. We were all woken around 3:30am due to a row in the corridor which escaleted into the room next to us with doors being kicked in and stuff being thrown around and screaming and shouting. My wife contacted reception who came up and removed one party. 10 mins later another person was inthe next room and another verbal row ensued before around 5am original party was allowed back up where further verbals continued. Only reason i stayed is we got our toddler back asleep eventually. Myself and my wife who is also pregnant had no sleep. On checkout it turned out our floor was not the only one with issues with a number of people complaining. We spoke to duty manager that morning who offered us a complimentary stay including meals and a refund but have yet to hear anything from the hotel - we stayed 20.07.2024 and its now 26.07.2024 as im posting this and not as much as an email. Terible experience

A quite a nice hotel easy to get to coming into Galway. There is a bus service into Galway with a stop just across the road but can take up to 30 minutes to get to Eyre Square. A taxi cost about €20 each way which I think is expensive. Driving to Eyre Square takes about 15 minutes but parking can be expensive and not easy found. Overall I would still stay here again.

Nice hotel, good food at the bar, but the noise from the highway was very loud in our room. The pool was closed at 7:00 pm for children (the sun goes down at 10:30) when we arrived from a long day on the road. This was really disappointing since we had reserved at this hotel for the pool facility. Having known this, we would have reserved a hotel downtown. Our children are 9 and 13. They could have made a special for us.
