I had a really nice stay at this hotel. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean, plus I loved having a balcony to stretch my legs and get some fresh air while working. The service was excellent, with the staff being incredibly nice and helpful. The location was convenient for my visit to Elf Town and close to amenities. However, the dining options were a bit limited, and the surroundings were not very vibrant.

The hotel is conveniently located for exploring Galway city without being too central, offering a nice and quiet stay. The rooms were very clean but could benefit from a makeover, especially with the issues like the curtain rail and plaster on the walls. The service was lacking in understanding special dietary needs and promptness in fulfilling requests. The dining experience was rather disappointing, especially during breakfast. On the bright side, the location is ideal for a good night's sleep and has friendly hospital staff nearby.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of luxury and disappointment. The presidential suite was incredibly spacious and had comfy beds, but the lack of natural light due to the screens was off-putting.

The hotel is located just off the motorway, providing a spacious and comfortable stay, with nearby attractions like Claregalway Abbey within walking distance. The rooms are gorgeous, spotless, and well-equipped, offering a comfortable and spacious experience. The staff, while mostly polite and friendly, can be inconsistent in service quality that could be improved. The dining experience is free but lacks appeal, with occasional oversight in service. The location is convenient, though with minor safety concerns. The hotel offers modern and well-maintained facilities with room for enhancement.

The service was top-notch, with helpful and accommodating staff, especially towards us and our one-year-old son. The location was convenient for my needs despite needing a makeover in some areas, and the food served was excellent.
