Rooms were excellent and super clean. But We were suppose to have breakfast in the morning. But conveniently he doesn't start serving until 8:30. He knows people want to catch ferry early. He should at least put something out. Fruit, yogurt pastries coffees. I little something would have been nice.

This place is really nice. It looks quite small from the front until you realize that the entire upper level is the hotel. The town itself is quite small, but the Spar round the corner is very nice for picking up items needed. The restaurants close pretty early, but that’s fairly normal in Ireland. I cannot speak anymore highly of the staff because they were all too-notch! Would def recommend!

It was ok. I would mostly compare it to a comfort inn. The room was clean and the bathroom sufficient. There were 2 single beds for our children and a double for my husband and myself. Each bed only had one pillow per person. The breakfast was typical Continental bar. The lady serving coffee was very nice. I did think the area was a little sketchy

Fantastic!

This place was amazing! Huge, immaculately clean room with two big comfortable beds, fantastic breakfast included, easy parking, and central location to take the train into Galway. I cannot believe how inexpensive our room was! The staff was spectacular, especially the lovely girl at the front desk who gave us dining tips and train tips, and the gentleman who assisted with my laundry issue. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
