“Cheap and cheerful”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

person found this review helpful

I was staying here while on a training course, got the single room with b&b which was excellant value. Room was very clean if a little dated looking but had all I needed. I found the bed and pillows very comfortable, suffer from chronic back pain but found no trouble sleeping. Food in the bar was excellant as well and a decent pint of Smithwicks! Majority of staff very friendly and approachable, but there was an exception, and willing to help when I needed it.

The only downside was the wireless connection for the internet which seemed to be very temberamental. It was only cured when the reception gave me a dongle which made a great improvement.

“perfect for a stop over”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

We stayed in this hotel on a Sat night whilst in galway to meet and go out with friends. The hotel is in a perfect location, walking distance to everything and easily found. The room was spotlessly clean and bed very comfortable, shower was excellent, breakfast however was poor but all in all good hotel if you just need somewhere to sleep in good location with a good price. Parking is free too

“Charming, clean, comfortable, friendly.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

Rooms were not special, but they were nice, clean, and comfortable. A few blocks away from the main hustle and bustle, but we still could easily walk to the fun. Nice bar open late. Traditional breakfast (eggs, sausage, bacon, pastries, yogurt, fruit, etc.) was fast and good, I think it came with the price of the rooms.
