I thought the Metro Park was fantastic: beautiful spaces, terrific, friendly, personable staff, great room, fantastic breakfast, just a lovely quiet friendly elegant ambience throughout. Every single staff member I had contact with was excellent. I asked for a quiet room and I got a genuinely quiet room. Amazing value.
The location of the hotel is a bit challenging if you don't have a car. It's about a 25 minute walk to Galway city centre, which isn't far, but it's not a pedestrian-friendly walk, as the route is really designed for vehicles. There is a footpath of course, and a bus. However, during my two-day stay there was a lot of frost and I didn't actually walk as I usually would. I got a taxi very easily both days.
