“Needs work.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

We stayed one night and then moved to the Park house Hotel.
Girl on reception was amazing in fairness and also the porter,but no car park so porter parks your car in public car park for €10 per day!!!!
Lobby was dim and uninviting to say the least.
Lift small along with room ,double bed is standard size ,(like my king )
Power washing front of hotel when we pulled up so very off putting with flex caught in door so we had to push through .
Our room was at the back of the heating system and kept us awake all night.
Not some where i will return to ,but full marks to staff who between the 2 ran the show.

Room Tip: Make sure you check location of room as heating system will keep you awake.

I am disappointed to read that you did not have an enjoyable stay and that your sleep was interrupted by a heating system, I am not aware of this issue but thank you I shall get my maintenance personal to investigate to insure the matter is addressed.

I was delighted that you felt that there was two of the team that stood out in particular, and that they could assist you during your stay.

Thank you for your comments with reference to the lobby, I was disappointed to read that you felt that this area is uninviting we have complimentary newspapers, guest information, fresh flowers , lounge menu to make this area welcoming.

We do a weekly deep clean (power wash) of the front of the hotel to insure that it is always spotless it is un acceptable that the hindered your entrance my apologies.

Unfortunately we do not have our own car park but thank fully can offer all our guest a 50% discount on a car park 2 minutes’ walk and offer complimentary drop off and collection.

Thank you again for your comments and you can be assuring you that all issues that you have raised shall be addressed.

“Great hotel, very central, modern and friendly”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

We stayed in Galway for one night (Thursday) in January. The hotel staff did all they could to be helpful and friendly. Our room was quite nice and spacious. It overlooked the main street ant maybe I would request one that didn't if staying there again. We had dinner and it was excellent. Breakfast was very good.
The staff even suggested a later departure time and breakfast did not have the usual cut off time. The later departure allowed us more time to explore the city. Would definetly stay there again.

Room Tip: Maybe request a room not overlooking the main road.

I stayed in this hotel from 27th - 29th Jan with a group of freinds and cannot fault it in any way. The rooms are clean, comfortable and stylish. We had breakfast and bar food and both were great. The highlight though was the staff, they were freindly and went out of their way to help - nothing was too much hassle. The location is also great, just beside Eyre Square.A fantastic place to stay.
