I stayed here back in may while on a weekend holiday with my girlfriend and had a great time. The location was excellent, right in the heart of the city. The bar there was also great and had music on for the two nights we were there. Overall there was a great atmosphere in the hotel and bar. Price wise... more

We stayed at the hotel in October 09 for 2 nights as we were off to see a band in Galway on the Saturday. The location, I will say, is perfect, right in the middle of the Latin Quarter and good for walking the whole of Galway. The bar was fine, we were out until the bars closed so the... more

Myself and my boyfriend stayed here for a weekend in April 09. The location of the hotel is brilliant. All the main bars/restaurants are on your doorstep however, this is about the only thing i liked about the hotel. I paid €140 for one night for a double room and was expecting quality for that amount and as was promised... more
