The hotel is close to everything and parking is available which the hotel provides a great explanation of how to access. Despite it being a late night venue our room was very quiet and we enjoyed breakfast that was available - really good value. Would recommend’

Best location in Galway, but a little noisy as it is over a bar after all. But, if that’s your jam then this is the place!

10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic location in Eyre Square! We enjoyed sitting out the front of the pub with a Guinness and watching the world go by. We had a twin room which was spacious and had great a/c. The room was really well thought out. E.g the shower taps are not under the shower head (you can turn it on without getting a wet arm!) and there is a clear sign to find the hair dryer!! Friendly staff. Great pub with music downstairs. (You can hear the music in the room as they above the pub, but we just drank enough to not hear it!!)

Great location- around the corner from shops and restaurants. Close enough to these features but far enough where it's not impacting your stay with crowds and noise. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Great location to get the bus to Aran Island ferry and to get the bus to Dublin Airport. Breakfast was very good as was the service. It is not a luxury hotel but none the less we enjoyed our stay.
