“Kat”

This hotel is O.K. It is a little run down. Holes in the worn carpeting. Old fashion T.V.s The location is just O.K. as well. The northside is not the prime neighborhood to stay in. We were there for one night before flying out the next day. It was fine for that. Hotel staff is friendly and helpful.

“The Galway Experience”

We visit Donegal on a regular basis and this year decided to spend a few days exploring the south of Ireland. Our first stop was Galway which is a great location to walk about pedestrian only streets and savour the atmposphere of pubs, music and "the craic" and the Guiness. We felt very safe walking the streets and would rate it above Dublin. The countryside around Galway is worth viewing and we took on of the short bus tours to learn more about the city. It is a vibrant location with two modern shopping centres to compliment many small streets full of independent shops many of which remained open late into the evening. Street buskers are a common sight througout the day and if the weather you can spend many hours people watching.

Area recommendations
Galway city centre and harbour areas. A great place to people watch in a friendly and safe environment

“Galway, Ottobre 2009”

Hotel situato in Prospect Hill, ad un centinaio di metri da Eyre Square, la piazza principale della bellissima cittadina universitaria di Galway, nella strada parallela alla stazione dei treni che serve la tratta nazionale. Struttura molto old style, tipicamente nordeuropea, con interni in legno bianco e tappezzeria alle pareti: le camere sono confortevoli,discretamente grandi e silenziose nonostante diano sulla strada. Strutturato su tre piani, in quello di terra si trova il pub (onnipresente, anche dentro aglio hotel!!!!) la cui saletta adiacente e' adibita a sala breakfast, il quale consiste in colazione tipicamente irish (salsiccia uova, pomodoro, bacon e pane tostato) fino ad un buffet tipicamente continentale con cereali,latte, marmellate, frutta....per l'amor del cielo, evitate il caffe' se non siete abituati a berlo tipo the'! Il personale,come tutti gli irlandesi, e' molto gentile e disponibile, e non esitate ad interpellarlo in merito a gite nel parco del Connemara , Burren e Ciff of Moher : vi proporranno una serie di escursioni organizzate,con il pulman che si ferma a prendervi proprio al'ingresso dell'hotel. Galway peraltro e' una cittadina deliziosa, affacciata direttamente della Baia che sfocia in pieno oceano atlantico: riuscirete a vederla tutta in un giorno, ed a piedi. La zona piu' vivace e colorita e' il quartiere latino, in pieno centro e con i santi pub che si succedono uno dietro l'altro, negozietti di artigianato e di gioielleria celtica.

“pas de buffet au petit déjeuner”

L'hôtel est très bien situé, proche du coeur de ville accessible à pied. Il est un peu vieillot mais propre. Le petit déjeuner est classique sans être somptueux. Nous avons séjourné à trois sans problèmes.

Traveller's tip
bien pour l'emplacement et le parking qui n'est pas évident à Galway
