The stay at this cozy hotel was a great one. The service was good, the food was outstanding. The restaurant was perfect for breakfast. Rooms with balcony, 2 bedrooms, a massive industrial generator.

We loved our relaxing stay. Brilliant staff and a spotless hotel. Bright room and perfect bed, we had a good rest. It was within walking distance of Restaurant Gigi's, where you can have lunch. Swimming pool was nice too.

Extraordinary hotel, my first choice in Galway. Super location, absolutely beautiful staff and tasty breakfast. The beach was nice. Breathtaking view of sea.

Wi-Fi was very poor, made me a little nervous.

I liked staying in an original building. The room was ordinary and the bed was great. Downstairs bar was lively and moderately priced. Good food and excellent service. In addition, the parking was on-site.
