“This is more of a traditional pub with rooms than a contemporary hotel, and it really commits to that old-world feel. It's a budget-friendly option where simple, clean rooms and notably kind service stand out. You're looking at a short walk to the beach and a somewhat longer one into the heart of Galway.”
