“Excellent staff and customer service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 May 2013 NEW

Stayed here with my husband and four year old. Staff very attentive and helpful from check in until departure. In particular Emmet and Barbara on reception. Rooms were old fashioned but clean, was moved due to the noise and second room was more modern. Food in both the restaurant and the Bistro very good and staff really looked after us.... More

Dear 'Rebecca G', We thank you for your feedback but hope that you will understand that it is very disappointing for us to read your tripadvisor review. While it is correct that it was confirmed to you that all rooms are four star standard, we feel that it is an unfair and inaccurate comment that someone from your team described... More

“Lovely hotel - stayed for business”

Lovely old school hotel. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Food in bistro bar was delicious and not your usual bar food. You could tell the chef took pride in his work. Room was very big, had both a bath and separate shower and two sinks which was a nice touch. The pool was lovely and I really enjoyed my... More

“OLD & DATED ROOM!!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 May 2013

I stayed here 1 night while attending a function in the hotel. Our room was very old fashioned & dated with horrible itchy blankets (circa 20 years ago) & the mattress was very uncomfortable! Every time you flushed the toilet it sounded like a plane was getting ready for take off. I'm sure some rooms in the hotel are more... More

My wife and I stayed here for one night two weeks ago. It was not our first visit here. On our arrival we were greeted with warmth and courtesy. Our room was clean, cosy and warm on what was a chilly and rainy Galway evening. A very relaxing hour or two was spent in a very comfortable lounge area near... More

“A restful weekend”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2013

Had a pleasant 2 night say recently. The weather was miserable, but it was lovely to relax by an open fire looking out at the miserable weather. Beds were very comfy, could have stayed in it for ever. The swimming pool was lovely. The hotel is a bit away from the centre of Galway, so not for walking, unless a... More
