Great location right in the city centre. There was a big group of us there for a big night out so it was perfect for that.
The staff at reception were really cold and unhelpful. You could tell they didn't want to be there. The hotel is dated, the rooms have keys, tiny TVs, old fashioned bathrooms, and are really cold (that suited us though, hate overheated hotels). The windows are a bit dodgy too. The bed though was very comfy and clean, and the room really spacious and clean.
The staff in the bar though, even at 4am, and faced with a loud (but harmless) group were very friendly and patient. The bar is really good fun and nice too. The reception area and restaurant are also fine.
Breakfast wasn't worth getting up for. There was a full Irish, but it was made with the cheapest ingredients, the staff were slow, and the continental was also very cheap....they had tinned fruit and no fresh, I didn't even know you could still buy tinned fruit! Still, it set us up for the day and helped get over the hangover!!
This hotel is perfect if you are on a big night out in Galway and want somewhere central and functional to stay. If you are in Galway to tour or sightsee, I'd advise staying in one of the lovely B&Bs on the outskirts, which you will get for a cheaper price, and a lot more personal service and attention (and better breakfast!).
