Went for a one night stay, it was amazing. The hotel is fabulous staff are fabulous. it was a real 10 out of 10. The beds were super comfy, so were the pillows, the breakfast which was included in the room rate and made a super full menu, with plentiful breakfast items that wouldn’t disappoint every taste - I cannot find anything that wasn’t first class. We will stay there again for sure.

Beautiful room in a beautiful property perfectly located within Galway - right next to the train and bus stations, but quiet enough that you never hear a thing! Also, the best vegan breakfast we had on the trip, and it's not advertised nearly enough. Highly recommended!
