This was a nice hotel to stay at while visiting Galway. The staff was very nice, and even surprised us with a bottle of wine and chocolate for our anniversary (very nice touch!). The room was decent. We had a corner room with views of the water. The only problem was that the windows were so dirty, you couldn’t enjoy the view. The shower drain was always extremely slow to drain, so you were sanding in water at the end of the shower. The rest of the room was fine. They had a few dining options, a bistro and a restaurant. We had breakfast included, which was a buffet style at the restaurant. The food was mediocre at best, and probably worth skipping unless you get it included. Again, the staff was very nice and helpful. The location was nice, and away from the busy center of town. However, if you want to be within walking distance of town, I would stay closer. Again, it was a decent hotel that worked out just fine. I would have given it three stars, but the wine and chocolate sunrise in our room pushed it to four stars.

The hotel overall is very nice! When we were there, there was a fair going on right outside our window. It wasn’t nearly as noisy as we thought it would be though. The area felt very safe. The breakfast is nice as well. The air conditioning didn’t seem to work which was unfortunate.

The property looks much nicer online. It looks more resort-y online. In reality it’s an average hotel near a beach. Staff were nice enough. Temperature in room cannot be adjusted and opened windows let in smoke and noise. No wash/face cloths in bathroom. Pier restaurant description seemed to be “fine dining” but was more of a cafe experience.

Such a lovely property with great amenities - pool, sauna, Galway Bay views, walkabke to town and beach, and the best hotel breakfast I've ever had (which also happens to be complimentary) in their lovely dining room. Comfortable and spotless all around.

Beautiful hotel. The public areas were spacious with a feel of luxury, very relaxing. The room felt a little disappointing after lobby etc. The beds were very comfortable, and the quiet fan provided was very welcome. However the room needs a spruce up, the bed base needs a cover as it is very old fashioned. The water pressure was poor, and silicone around the bath was discoloured in places. We were a room of three, only 2 sets of towels, glasses, mugs, both days. On the first day when requesting more towels etc, response was no apology, and lethargic. The second day we just took the towels off the trolley in hall. Tea tray was poor incl. no biscuits. Room refresh didn’t happen, I stay away a lot for business and this is not the normal unless asked, so had to hunt down more teabags etc. To conclude lovely location, facilities, but disappointing with room and housekeeping.

Seems like a good idea, trying to be a destination hotel resort but doesn’t quite have the quality to do it right. I think bc there are plenty of options in the area and they only put limited funds into being resort-like. Food in restaurants pretty good Wine tasting was nice if amateur. Beach is great. Breakfast is amazing. Just a bit too far to walk to downtown Galway. No AC but was comfortable anyway.
