Pros. Location! Hot tubs and comfy bed.
Cons. The time the hot tubs closed at.
Pros. The Location The Bar The rooms The style
Cons. The staff was helpful enough, but not the most welcoming front desk I have ever come across. The breakfast room is a bit like a cave.
Pros. Beautiful hotel with spacious and elegant rooms at the center and heart of Galway, only a 1 minute walk to the train station and a 3 minute walk to the Latin quarter. The hotel is in a beautiful stone turn of the century building that has been updated with all modern amenities. The rooms make you feel like you're staying in a palace.
