I had a great time at this hotel! The rooms were cozy, and I loved that they had bunk beds and a kitchenette. The staff was attentive, especially the manager, and they made my stay pleasant. The location was perfect, with ample parking and easy access to the city center. The dining options were not included in the rate, but the original dishes served were worth it. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay very enjoyable.

The hotel is situated in a lovely area with ample parking and offers excellent service. However, despite the great location, there are no designated servers for specific areas which can be inconvenient. The rooms provide comfortable sleeping arrangements but lack tea/coffee facilities, and the customer service could benefit from more guidance. Overall, a pleasant stay with some minor drawbacks.

The hotel is conveniently located just outside the main city area with ample parking, offering a lovely area near Galway city centre. The rooms are comfortable with an air conditioning unit and a plug-in heater, although the bathroom is out in the lobby. The service provided by the manager and the pleasant male receptionist is at times exceptional. The dining experience is not included but at reasonable prices with lovely pancakes. The facilities are modern and offer great value for money.
