Staying at this hotel was a mixed bag - the rooms were still very well decorated and comfortable, but it was a bit of a joke for us that one of them was haunted. The service, on the other hand, was wonderful and super helpful across several departments, especially notable for Pauline's excellent assistance. The location was excellent, right on the Promenade, but lacked vibrant nightlife in the area. The dining experience was top-notch with excellent food and service, though I wished for more options beyond breakfast. The facilities were modern and well-maintained, offering all the necessary amenities.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable but very basic, with hardly any furniture and crumbling wallpaper. The location, while offering a beautiful view of the bay, was a bit crowded due to weddings and morning tour buses. The dining was great and well-organized, but the price felt a bit high for the value. Overall, it was a decent stay with a few drawbacks.

Overall, a wonderful stay with a few hiccups.

The hotel has a cozy feel with warm and inviting rooms, though the noise from an oven could be a bit bothersome. The friendly service adds a nice touch, but the disorganized dining experience may need improvement. Its location offers a taste of old-world charm and convenience, but the inability to get some specialty drinks can be disappointing.

The hotel is brilliantly located, with easy access to the seafront and a short walk to charming cafes and stores. The rooms were perfect for us and very clean, but could do with some modern updates. The service was a mix of lovely and welcoming moments, yet slightly disappointing during check-in due to a long wait and lack of proper hygiene practices in the dining area. Dining offered a decent variety, but some menu items seemed subpar. Overall, a cozy stay with a few hiccups.

The hotel has a prime location right in front of the sea and near Galway, making it convenient for sightseeing. The rooms are spacious and clean, with very comfortable beds, but having the air conditioners outside the window can be a bit noisy at times. The service was friendly and helpful, although there were some oversights like not properly cleaning the payment machine. The dining options were generally good, but there were instances of slow service. Overall, a great location for a relaxing getaway with some minor inconveniences.
