We stayed for one night. The furnishings were very welcoming: Purple! Lovely purple sofas, carpeting in the restaurant. The restaurant had the best wait staff ever, so sweet and polite. Great shower and bath facilities. Walking distance to Kennedy Park and the downtown shops. We highly recommend this motel.

As a couple we stayed at this hotel for one night as a getaway and we received a lovely welcome from the staff. We requested a room with a view over the water, the room itself was compact but it was clean and comfortable and we had a great night’s sleep. The location is very convenient for town, just a...

I just had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful Galway family owned hotel for my first trip to Galway. The staff greeted me warmly and offered me a scrumptious afternoon tea with scones and jam upon arrival which I gratefully accepted. They also helped me with my luggage up to my room which was welcomed after my long journey... More

I booked this hotel because it was the only one that I could find with on site parking.I was pleasantly surprised.It is a beautiful hotel facing the docks in Galway and yet it is only less than five minutes walk from the shopping areas.Staff are friendly.Food is delicious and beds are comfortable.I would love to return again.

Stayed on the 19th whilst attending the Connacht v Ulster game. Good location for the City attractions / bars and easy to get to the Sports ground. Clean functional and reasonably priced. Had breakfast as part of the rate which was fine even for those of us with post match hangovers ! Would use again.
