Not the greatest

Terrible location. Next door to a gas station and minimart. Neighborhood was very busy and noisy. Room was quiet and comfortable, but we had upgraded to a Junior Suite. The restaurant staff were very friendly and patient. We would not stay here again.

Maldron stay

Overall a good stay, the bathroom facilities didn't meet the delux billing with a low power leaky shower and a loose loo seat. Otherwise all good.

Staff was very nice. Room was cleaned every day. Parking was extremely convenient. Hotel food was great for a quick bite to eat. Quick taxi to the square was perfect. Walking distance to Eamon Darcy Park.

Thank you Ethal and all the Staff! Very helpful.

Solid hotel for a one night stay

When we first arrived, we were greeted and offered a different room since our room had "small" windows and the new room would have more of a "view." The view was on the first floor, of the outdoor parking lot and had several men, outside smoking, looking into our room. The staff was very understanding and gave us keys to the new room. Turns out the small windows are actually a benefit if you don't want sun beating in when it's warm (the thermostat stays at 19 degrees celsius) and/or you want to sleep in. Finally, we had to find someone to check us out because there wasn't anyone at the front desk. The room itself was lovely. Although, we still find it odd that Ireland bathrooms don't have outlets and the beds only have a blanket (too warm for) and a fitted sheet (no top sheet). The bathroom mirror was designed for tall people but the counter space was large enough for two people to get ready. The shower was AMAZING. Love that they offer free parking and it was a close drive to the Latin Quarters. Because we stayed at several places during our visit to Ireland, I am being very picky. It was not a bad visit but it was not our favorite place to stay.
Instant coffee, water, and tea.
Tiny windows, perfect if you want to keep the room cool, or keep the sun out so you can sleep in!
Double beds were very comfortable but did not have top sheets. It was too warm for a blanket.
The shower is like the rainforest! Plus, there's a separate detachable nozzle.

Diana, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We appreciated the kind, supportive, and flexible staff when it came to our requests and meals. But most of all, they were kind enough to move our room off of the lower floor. We wanted to cancel our booking because the road noise was quite loud due to the festival, but we couldn't becaues of Expedia's bad refund policy. The manager really helped us out and got us better room, where we were able to enjoy the rest of our trip. Also, the parking was a dream compared to every other hotel we stayed at in Ireland.
Bill, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I booked this hotel ahead of my daughter's study abroad as she was arriving in Galway early. It's the first time she has traveled absolutely alone, and the staff was very kind and helpful to her. Thank you for the warm aloha spirit you have shown her and for making her stay pleasant. She now thinks of Galway as a colder version of Hawaii. :-)

Due to the power cuts we had to book in to a hotel instead of staying at the in laws. We needed one near the hospital to visit my mother in law. Was only a 30 minute walk to the hospital and was a really nice walk. Hotel was lovely, can’t fault it.
