Quiet comfortable accommodation in downtown Galway
Despite being in a busy section of Galway, the room was very quiet due to the double “city” windows. The room was large, the bed comfortable, the dining area luxurious and the staff very friendly.

We were not told where to park beforehand, so we parked far away and had to walk with our luggage to the hotel as the front of the hotel is not accessible by car. It was a hot night and the air conditioner did not work at all. We could not leave the windows open because there were hundreds of people outside our window partying and yelling and talking. Also, there was cigarette smoke all over the street in front of the hotel. The girl at the front desk tried to help us with the air conditioner, but she could not figure it out and neither could we. I think it was just broken. We were unable to switch rooms as it was full. The next day we had read breakfast started at 7:00, but a staff member told us it wasn't until 7:30 so we had to go somewhere else for breakfast as we could not wait until then. The whole experience was not good.

Great in-town venue for a short stay
This place is ground-zero in the center of Galway. Parking is off-site, in your choice of huge city parking garages about 10 minutes away. The hotel is old, but has been renovated. We found the place a bit odd, and the parking issue was the last thing we needed being challenged by driving in Ireland in the first place. The big surprise - the hotel is next to probably the nicest and liveliest bar and restaurant in town. It is another operation of Skeffington, and we spent every night there - just a walk-thru from the hotel. Breakfast? Excellent. Staff very friendly and professional. Hotel is a 10 minute walk from the Aran Island Ferry dock, which worked out great for us. Book your ferry ticket in an office about a block from the hotel.

Property was very conveniently located with short walk to the train as well as near many bars and restaurants. Staff went out of their way to be helpful and attentive. Had a great meal at the attached pub. We could hear some of the music from the pub but it was very muffled from where we were located and didn’t bother us at all. Would definitely stay again.
