The room was cozy, very clean, and well-arranged. I loved the location in quaint Salthill but simultaneously very close to central Galway, accessible via the nearby bus station. I had a great stay overall!

"Bijou but beautiful"

8.0

Lovely bijou hotel, beautifully but simply decorated, staff were friendly, the room though small , was perfectly adequate for my 1 night stay. The room was spotless, bed and pillows extremely comfortable. The tea/coffee hub just outside my room was lovely and very welcoming and a really good choice of quality tea and coffee. The hand/ body wash in the bathroom was so luxurious and smelled amazing.

My old knees aren't what they used to be so having to climb 32 steps in sweltering outdoor temperatures wasn't ideal, next time I would request the lower floor. There was no hot water in sink or shower but given the extremely hot weather I didn't mind at all having a cool shower
