The rooms were clean and modern. The guy that checked us in helped carry our bags up the stairs. Parking was a bit of a jam, we got in Sunday evening, and the pub was packed, we had to wade thru the pub to get to the check in desk. The hotel was adjoining so I would leave the bags til you get checked in, then head outside to the rooms next door. Once we got settled the pub was great, live traditional Irish music, very friendly atmosphere

The room was clean, parking was an adequate. The entrance and how you check in is a bit strange. Especially with a crowded bar and restaurant!! The WiFi didn’t work, the tv remote didn’t work therefore NO tv. Quite surprised with a pub close to downstairs the room was quite.

The room was smaller than the nightly price. It was cold, insufficiently equipped and noisy. When a neighboring room used the toilet or shower it sounded like a river going through the room. The staff in the pub was gracious but there is nothing to do in the area

Loads of parking and easy to get to Galway from here. Beds were comfy and it was clean. You could hear everything happening outside the room though, and it wasn't the clearest that you had to check in in the bar.

It was an okay stay overall. The property being attached to a bar/restaurant was definitely convenient, but it also meant there was no front desk or elevator, so check-in was a little confusing at first until a server in the restaurant helped us. The place looks much better in photos than it does in person. The room was very small compared to what we expected, the TV didn’t work, and the WiFi barely worked during our stay. There was also a pretty bad smell coming from the bathroom that I tried contacting the property about, but unfortunately never got a response. The beds were also pretty uncomfortable, which was disappointing while traveling on vacation. There aren’t many food options nearby either, so definitely plan ahead and make reservations because restaurants book up quickly — we almost didn’t get dinner one night. It works fine for a short one or two night stay, but we probably wouldn’t stay again.

The rooms are very small, there is not customer service, you need to go to the bar to check in and no body to help you with any room service, very far from the city and transportation even know said 20 minutes they charge $40+ each way I won’t recommend for more than 1 day stay

My stay was disappointing. The room was much smaller than expected, and the pictures online were quite deceptive. It didn’t match what was shown in the listing, and it felt cramped and uncomfortable. Definitely not worth the price.

MauvaiseExpérience de la chambre, numéro huit

Chambre décevante par rapport à la réservation. Nous y étions en couple avec un ado de 14 ans. La chambre est minuscule. Nous n’avons pas pu poser les valises, elles étaient à même le sol, il n’y a pas d’air conditionné, il n’y a pas de télé, il n’y a pas de wi-fi, il n’y a pas de poubelle, et il n’y a pas non plus de bouilloire ou de verre d’eau pour se faire un petit thé ou un petit café le matin. il n’y a pas d’étagères pour poser nos affaires de toilettes et ce n’est pas un lavabo. C’est un lave main. De plus la literie est très inconfortable. Sans air conditionné, le loueur nous a ouvert la fenêtre qui donnait sur une rue très bruyante. Nous n’avons pas dormi de la nuit. Nous étions dans une chambre au premier étage où nous entendions tout ce qui se passait au deuxième étage avec l’eau qui coulait dans les tuyaux dans les cloisons, donc chambre non insonorisée aussi. Nous étions dans la chambre. Numéro huit. Cette chambre n’est pas du tout en photo sur la réservation de Hotels.com. Sinon je ne, je n’aurais pas réservé de plus lorsque nous sommes partis à 9h du matin tout était fermé. Nous n’avons pas su à qui donner la clé nous l’avons laissée dans la chambre.
