Hotel is beautiful and staff are great. The Pullman was the highlight of our trip. The food is outstanding and the service even more so. Ian made our dining experience so memorable, he was personable, extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The staff in the hotel itself were also lovely and very friendly. Excellent experience.

This is a lovely property. The rooms are spacious and well designed. Bed was very comfortable. AC in rooms. Did have washcloths. The drinks in the lounge are expensive. $16-18 per drink, these only have 32 ml of alcohol in each drink so a double can add up. We did the preset meal at the restaurant on the property. It was just OK for the price of $90 pp. The bikes that are available to ride around the property need to be updated.

The property is beautiful and rooms are lovely. Only thing that could have made the stay is breakfast options and keeping buffet options filled as many options were empty bowls. (Yogurt, fruit, granola) there was also very limited staff for breakfast hours.

The service and room fell short of expectations though the grounds are spectacular. The dining options are good, but not standout. The room had a musty smell and lacked control over temperature. The service was average. The grounds were gorgeous and the falconry was a fun and wonderful highlight of our stay.

The hotel itself is beautiful in an amazing setting. Our room was very comfortable with a great bathroom. Our porter (Michael I think) that greeted us when we arrived, was very friendly and helpful. He met us when we checked out as well and helped us plan our day.

The doormen, especially Michael, were very helpful and insightful, as were the front desk staff. The grounds and the Abbey were beautiful. We will definitely stay here again, next trip to Galway.
