Excellent

Its a good option to rest but is not too close to the downtown and the access to the pool is limited

Liked: Room comfort
Ok, thats the best I can say.
It was ok. The hotel needs some updating. The walls in our room had hand marks of self tan all up one wall, paint badly chipped, furniture well worn, stains on the carpets. I normally stay in Claytons for work and they've been great. I wouldn't stay here again.
Amazing. Best hotel we’ve stayed at in Galway. It was spacious and very confortable for 5 of us. Amenities were great. They even have laundry service. Honestly, we will be back for sure.
rather a surprise, very good breakfast, shopping accros the street a few minutes to the city. Dinner at the hotel pub was poor, waitres had maybe her first day, food was very fast, actually to fast and we assume we got somebody elses order as we ordered chicken burger and not beef, but we where to tired to start a discussion. Would stay again
There was a few things in room looks like they didn't clean properly, sink in bathroom with dentist problem - small part was missing, fun in bathroom full of dust, we stayed 3 adults but mix numbers of mugs, sugar or biscuits spoons etc...thanks
The room was dirty and the shower & sink were not cleaned before I used them. - I wish I had taken pictures.
Air conditioning was very noisy so couldn’t sleep with it on . The room was cold in the morning and the heating did not work.
The gym is tiny and needs upgrading and expanding.
I ordered a beer at the bar and was told they didn’t have a keg available.
The breakfast is very crowded and only 2 coffee machine which are painfully slow and constantly need to be fixed by the staff. Please go back to making pots of coffee for your guests.
