damp smell

staff neglect

It's adorabally quaint but the leaks and the damp smell were so distracting, I almost enjoyed my stay! And let's not forget the complete lack of staff when we arrived in the rain- appreciated that. I definitely expected a complimentary gesture for such inconveniences.

It was as expected, had a very lovely stay for the price. Great place to stay, impeccably clean, everything was fantastic. The food for breakfast, especially cereal and pancakes, was fabulous. Truly enjoyed an electric kettle and a TV in the room. All the employees were excellent and amicable. The location was excellent, with restaurants and pubs not far from the hotel.

narrow stairs

The young barmaid provided really good service and ensured I was checked into a quiet room on the second floor, making my stay comfortable.

The stairs leading to the rooms were quite narrow, made managing my luggage a bit challenging.

Stairs leading to the rooms are narrow and difficult!!! The overall ambiance feels antiquated and run down, not what I expected from my stay. Improve maintenance for a better experience!!!

charming, charming, charming

The check-in process was seamless and the lovely bar created a warm ambiance that was perfect for unwinding after a day out. The staff's professionalism shone when they provided extra blankets and lamps to address the room's issues. Breakfast was great with its fantastic full Irish options that set me up for the day!

easy stroll

The bar really is a beautiful spot to unwind after a day of exploring Galway Harbour. My kids enjoyed the easy stroll along the promenade.

For dads, it would be great if there were more kid-friendly activities available.

great atmosphere but narrow stairs

The breakfast options were good. Staff members were genuinely friendly. The room was pristine, and the shower pressure was really good, easily the best I've experienced across different accommodations. I also appreciated the walkable distance to key areas, made exploring the surroundings convenient.

The stairs leading to the rooms were quite narrow, making it challenging to manage my luggage.
