Friendly staff, quiet atmosphere, and a clean room, but the property as a whole is showing its age. The breakfast was a letdown—it felt reheated rather than freshly made. Fine for a quick overnight stay, but foodies should look elsewhere.

Overall, a good hotel in Galway, situated in the Salthill Promenade, directly across from the ocean. Hotel is getting dated. Restaurant options are limited and you need to walk another 5-10 mins to find anything else. Rooms are small-ish but not terrible. No AC. Parking is easy and ample available. Reception was very friendly and helpful. Pool is small but fine for kids. Swim caps are required.

Lovely ocean facing room with lots of space.Bith the room and bathroom were clean if a little old fashioned. Staff in reception were very helpful but found the restaurant( Brasserie) staff a efficient but not particularly warm or welcoming. Location very good for sea front and for transport linksgto town centre.Some good bars and restaurants around- better value than eating in the hotel
