The location is perfect - so close to parking garage, train and bus station, and everything Galway has to offer! It’s just a bit noisy being in the heart of the lively city!

We had a fantastic stay in Galway. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Parking was challenging and a bit of a walk, but if you understand the city, it was amazing that they could offer parking at such a reduced rate! If you want to be close to all the action with a tranquil room environment, this is the place to stay.

Very nice staff and cool spot for sightseeing
Nice hotel in a great spot for sightseeing.
Just insulation is not the best when some party guests came back to their rooms at night it was super loud and also you could hear them in the morning with consequences of drinking.
Hotel states it has a parking - it doesn’t. The Q park is super close but it’s not hotels parking so it is misleading.

Center of Galway City
Great location for walking around Galway. The biggest negative was there was no where to pull up and check in temporarily. Parking was a bit of a walk and with luggage it was a challenge. They should probably state that as we were driving around in circles on exactly where to park. We were actually given the wrong coordinates to a parking lot when we called. Room was small for the price but clean

Room smelled overwhelmingly like patchouli, which for many like me is gagging. Someone might have spilled a bottle of it but I think it is put there by the staff as “room freshener.” Very small room. Good breakfast included, which is rare. Staff was friendly and professional.

Tired, drab and sad
Was originally put in a room with one bed. Reservation was for a double/triple as it was me and my adult son. First room was very nice and a nice bathroom. Second room was drab, NOTHING like the pictures online. Bathroom can only be described as sad, drab, tired. Door was a little busted up. Towels were thin and grey.

Centrally located hotel
The hotel was fine but North Central Dublin
around Connell is very hectic and a little dodgey. Desk staff was great: Sophia, Liam, Ashley and Dysir. On a return trip, I'd choose a different area even though it was centrally located perhaps too much so.

Great location, but that’s about all.
TV only had limited channels and the guide didn’t work. WiFi was useless. Room was smaller than expected. Great location though. Very noisy, the woman in the next room seemed to be enjoying herself though
