Good enough location for harbor

Staff is helpful... there is a parking lot (paid). Location is on the harbor but you won't necessarily have a harbor view. The hotel rooms feels a touch dated. Bathroom fixtures could use a upgrade. You can walk to the main tourist section of Galway very quickly.

A very basic room with no storage for 3 people, bed's and pillows were not over comfy and after flushing the toilet the water would still keep running into the toilet. We had to keep the bathroom door closed because of this. Breakfast was nice and also the staff.

Front desk staff were excellent. Location is close to shops and restaurants but just enough distance that it’s quiet. We had a nice spacious room, and beds were comfortable. Having parking in such a busy town was a huge benefit. We would stay again.

Rooms were okay. We had asked for two separate twin beds but got one queen and one twin which took up a lot of space. Bathrooms were okay, as well. The bed sheets and bed were nice and comfy. I do wish they had included how to get to on site parking in their check in instructions because we ended up in the wrong lot when checking in. We had paid breakfast which was nice, as well.

Good stay, close to all the activity in the city, good restos, etc. Parking was a bit of a challenge early, but the city was walkable from the harbor.

The hotel is good but unfortunately our AC was not working. We realized the issue last at night so did not bother the staff but they do have 24x7 frontdesk so the fault is not of the hotel. We just got unlucky. Breakfast was Great with a wide selection and hot food. Recommend the place to others as its walkable to anywhere in Galway.
