Really nice place. The walls are kinda of thin however so can hear people just talking from the hall or the next room over. Other than that, was a good place to stay at.

Not 4 Star
It’s hard to believe this hotel considered a 4-star hotel. Check-in left much to be desired and no one offered to assist us with bags. One elevator for all the rooms? Our room was the farthest away from said elevator; two hallways from an exit. There was in fact an exit, but it was listed as staff only and was blocked with laundry carts. This would be incredibly dangerous in the event of a fire. Additionally the drain was missing from our shower, leaving a large hole in which I stepped and twisted my ankle. All in all, not a bad place to stay, just needs work.

Nice staff and clean hotel overall.
The food was average.
I really didn’t like the way it was insisted upon us having to pay for breakfast within a minute of us sitting down. We have a very going family,I was trying to settle our children during this time and didn’t appreciate it. I had given the room number but still asked to pay straight away. It was not the staff members fault as I saw a manager asking her to ask us. I found this inappropriate and this this policy should be reflected upon (perhaps give the option of charging it to the room) as it would put me off staying there again if I’m honest.
There was very loud music on one of the nights, as there was an event on, it kept us and our very young children awake. More consideration should have been given to our room location upon arrival knowing there was an event on as the event was very close to our room.
Although we knew it before arriving the room would benefit from air-con, a fridge and a safe.

There isn’t much to do in this area. We felt the hotel was really expensive for what it offers. However, apparently they had a huge racing event, which would explain why prices were high everywhere. There is no AC in their rooms, so our entire stay was pretty unbearable because of the heat.
You can skip the breakfast options. I don’t think it’s worth €15.

It's OK
No refrigerator in room. They will leave a bag of towels, coffee, and tea if you have the "Do Not Disturb" sign up. And they don't have an ice machine in the hotel, so you have to get ice from the bar when it is open. The bed, however, is terrible. A tiny double bed too small to comfortably fit 2 adults and it is rock hard.

Friendly staff, clean, comfortable rooms. Pool was great hit with the kids. Bus outside takes you centre of galway or a taxi was between €14-20 depending on where we got dropped off in Galway.

Lovely family stay
We stayed as a family of four. Perfectly located hotel for Salthill, Galway City and a day trip to Connemara with a bus stop right outside the hotel. We stayed in a family room which was nice and breakfast and one evening meal in the hotel which was all really nice.
