Disappointed
Check-in and check-out was met by an unwelcoming woman at the front desk. Room was a good size and clean. However, the noise at night was too much. Construction in the hotel was loud and started early in the morning. Some hallway lights worked, some did not.

Not perfect but not to shabby
I was rather amazed at the number of people who where staying in the hotel. From the outside, it doesn’t seem like it could possibly hold that many people. Overall it was perfect for myself and my boyfriend. If you wanted your room clean then hang the sign on your door. If not, turn the sign around and hang it on your door. Our bed was nice and comfy. If I needed help with something I can ask the front desk and depending on who’s servicing, you would get all the help you can possibly need. One manager in particular, and I forgot his name, was quite helpful and friendly at that. He diserves a raise. The free ’continental’ breakfast could use a little work, but hey, it was free and anything free taste good. Also, being in the heart of everything wasn’t so bad either. Right around the corner are the shops, pubs, and restaurants. Perfect location. Overall, I definately recommend this hotel if you’re planning a visit to Galway.
Traveler's tip on dining
We fell in love with this great little restaurant called Druid Lane. It’s in the Quay if I’m correct. It’s around the corner from the hotel, you just keep walking down past the shops, hippie street performers, and the happy, drunk people and you’ll find it. It’s small but cozy, and the food is absolutely great. The service was personal and friendly. I recommend the mussels, thai fish cakes, and the chicken (although I forgot what exactly the dish is called but it was gooooood).

convenient location
Hotel was conveniently located to the main tourist areas and though the breakfast wasn’t elaborate it was sufficient and meant I didn’t have to wander around looking for a place before I could start exploring the town and nearby sites. Pillows were a little hard.
