The professionalism and courtesy of the two ladies at the main hotel reception was to set the tone to follow. The cleanliness and layout if the entire foyer and restaurant and bar area was the highest standard. In particular, I was impressed by the Art Deco design of the bar area which I understand had been redesigned recently. A 1920s feel created a unique ambience. Wall designs of tropical plants and verdant growth is a cozy and interesting design feature which we discussed at length. As for the lunch itself, I was very impressed with the Cod and I had a side of Sautéed Onions. As onions are my favourite food, I was eager to taste this and I was not disappointed. They were softly done and not over cooked. My friend had the Gnocchi which was equally excellent. The manager was very professional and helpful and every place should be run like this! read less Zentrales Hotel, bestens für eine Erkundung Galways geeignet 👍Martin MUC 4/04/2020 - H3349MPcarrieg 11/06/2021 50th birthday Amazing g staff and fab hotel very clean and comfy will stay... read moreAmazing g staff and fab hotel very clean and comfy will stay here again for sure Ashling and all the bar staff were very helpful check in was so easy room very clean lift near to my room as i have bone disease so greatful dont have to walk far read less Bien situé en plein centre de la ville chambre spacieuse et correcte... read moreBien situé en plein centre de la ville chambre spacieuse et correcte parking à proximité.

The room was very nice, as was the bathroom in the room.
We dined in Queen Street and were disappointed on arrival to see the menu was different and smaller than the one shown on the website. The food overall was nice but nothing special. Our starters were both very nice (Caesar salad and goats cheese) however our mains were not as good (burger which was dry and fish and chips). The service in Queen Street however was amazing and all the staff were very friendly and attentive.
When leaving the bar that night we enquired what time breakfast was served until the next morning and we were told 10:30, but when we arrived for breakfast at 10:10 the following morning we were told breakfast had stopped being served which was again, disappointing as we had breakfast included in our stay. The girl who was in the restaurant cleaning up told us we could take any of the continental breakfast that had not been put away yet back up to our room with us which we did.
Despite these few things, we still had a lovely stay and would return sometime in the future. read lessExtremely convenient location. Decently comfortable beds.

Would have been nice to have in room refrigerators and better access to ice.

Everywhere we met the hotel staff from initial reception to the housekeeping and restaurant/bar staff, they went over and above in terms of helpfulness, and friendliness and genuine care and attention. I cannot think of more outstanding staff across the board in all the hotels I have been in in Ireland and there has been many through work. The location obviously could not have been better. It was excellent value. We had a salad, Pizzas and cocktails, all of which were excellent.

Upon arrival we were greeted by the friendly receptionist. We had a brought a bottle of prosecco with us to have as a celebration in our room. The receiptionist directed us to the warm and friendly front of house staff (Dearbhla), who kindly opened the bottle for us and provided us with an ice bucket to chill. We ate in the restaurant that evening and the food was incredible!! We both got the sea bass which was superb, along with the creamy sauce and chorizo. The hotel rooms were very clean and if we required anything else (such as an iron/ironing board), we were seen to immediately. Throughout the evening and during our stay the staff were very attentive and friendly.

Location is just off Eyre Square and most city attractions are within walking distance. Parking is available at nearby car park which may be complementary depending on what deal you made on your booking. The hotel may be a bit more expensive than some rivals but we feel it was worth it.
The hotel appeared to be very well maintained and plenty of Covid precautions available, although it was a pity that the hand gel dispenser at the main door did not work at any time over the 3 days. First impressions!!.
Staff were excellent and most courteous, from the housekeeping lady that allowed me jump the Que for the lift when I was bringing in the luggage to the reception staff that sorted out my parking.
The room was spotlessly clean and very well presented, although we both got a bit of a stale air smell when we entered the room as if it had not been opened up for a few days. Maybe good in these Covid times but again First Impressions.
The room was serviced each day with fresh towels and a general clean up.
Breakfast was table service and excellent both in variety and quality as well as quantity. They must have very good kitchen staff because we ate in the hotel for lunch one day and each night also and the fare was excellent. Same menu each night but there was enough for us to sample a variety of dishes.
So overall a big thumbs up to the establishment and if we were visiting the City of Tribes again, we would have no hesitation in staying here again. read less - kieranSB2021 11/15/2021 Meeting with Old Friends Nov 2021 Enjoyed my stay, room modern comfortable and clean.
