The wait staff at least ignored us and didn't ask about replenishing drinks while we waited.

It's perfectly located for Shop Street, the main street in Galway, but also convenient distance to the walking paths along the River Corrib that divides the city on the way to Galway Cathedral. The staff were as everywhere in Galway and Dublin nice and helpful. Good rooms although the view of a tiny cavity at the back of the hotel was not great, but just a one night stay. We heard the music from the bar when we arrived at the hotel at midnight, but our room was far enough away from it that we were not disturbed. Breakfast includes hot options that the waiter takes your order for when you're seated. There should be information about that because we and many others we saw were very disappointed with the other breakfast options that was laid out, deducting a star. Maybe just a temporary problem as it was apparently a temporary room for breakfast when we were there in May 2026?

Great location and a very good breakfast at the pub next door, which is also part of the hotel. read more Great location and a very good breakfast at the pub next door, which is also part of the hotel.
