Galway base with warm modern style

A crisp, modern look and a homely warm feel set the tone, with muted greys and bold yellow touches throughout. Grain and Grill keeps things easy with a relaxed bar and restaurant scene, while Red Bean Roastery handles the coffee runs. It works well for business trips, family stays, and low-fuss weekends in Galway.

Great hotel for the price. Clean, new, good bed and shower, nice size room, decent restaurant, helpful staff, and ample free parking underground so no issue with getting in and out with the rain. Although it’s outside the center of the city, it has some shopping and restaurants around and has a Spar on site.
