We arrived after a long day of sightseeing and driving.The hotel is perfectly located across from the promenade and parking is plentiful and easy. The front desk staff was welcoming and the room was lovely. The food was tasty and breakfast was plentiful and delicious. We were only there for one night, but I would recommend a longer stay.

Very comfortable and quiet. Beautiful view from the veranda. Easy to walk into town. A nice variety of food offerings and helpful front desk staff. They do a lot of weddings which makes the vibe a bit odd at times with guests seemingly being put off by beachgoers while they're in their wedding outfits and it closes the veranda to guests for weddings. It is a large part of their business but an alternative location for guests to enjoy during weddings would be a nice addition.

This is a must stay if your traveling to Galway and needing a place for the week or night. Easy parking, friendly staff, much nicer showers than most I've stayed at across Ireland. Only "small" complaint the TV size was a little disappointing but I was only in for the night on a work trip so didn't affect my stay.
