Quaint and charming, this historic hotel exudes character. Despite taking the elevator, guests must navigate multiple steps. The bathroom is snug, contributing to the cozy ambiance of the room. The exceptional staff provided outstanding service, though more detailed parking information prior to check-in would have been appreciated. Onsite parking entails blocking other vehicles and leaving keys for potential repositioning, which may not be ideal for all guests.

Staff at front desk were kind and helpful. Sorry I didn’t catch their names but she had lovely long curly hair and he had dark hair and brown eyes. So sweet! We loved the size of the room, the location and restaurant on property. Wish we could have stayed another couple days. Room was clean and had large shelf the length of the room which was helpful.

Comfortable accommodations in convenient location. Easy walk to all the places we wanted to explore. No need for a car in Galway, but we had a rental car for our other travels. We appreciated that parking was included, but it's located around the corner in a tight and awkward garage where a valet double parks it, then retrieves it for you when you need it.

Construction started before 8 am. Was very loud! Spent a significant amount of time waiting for our car keys from valet. We brought up our concerns to a manager who was very helpful and helped to remedy the situation.

Nice launching pad to explore Galway and nearby areas. Our room was in good shape and the breakfast was great. Walkable to the fun Latin Quarters. They provided a portable crib for our baby.
