Stayed here for 3 nights during the volvo rtw yacht race.Local elections were on at the same time so it was pretty busy but we never had to wait around for anything.Our Host the Wonderful Gerry is a bundle of energy.. Eamon who runs the bar at night is a true professional of the Bar,in Ireland this is taking very seriously, as is right! The Bar is Pub prices and only steps away from our room which was very comfortable with TV ensuite bath and shower and a nice veiw to the garden out the back.The bus stops right out the front on the half hour to go into Galway(10 mins) and Galway bay and salthill prom a 3-5 min stroll away.We were on Honeymoon but still found it a romantic sort of place in only the way that the Irish can do it!Breakfast was included in our rate but we got up too late to have any,Gerry threw in a few free pints and is a true Gent.We loved it so much we stayed there again for a night the weekend after,Would never stay any where else in Galway and I highly recommend for a few nights.You can ring a taxi on the hotel hotline 10 Euro into Galway Center and it's a great base for day trips to Connemara and The cliffs of moher and Burren in North Clare.Hope you enjoy it as much as we did and as long as you are not the type that needs to have their bum wiped you will.Free wifi worked great and 6 free car spots out the front.We just parked up and used Taxis and the bus as Galway does have a traffic problem and it's just far less hassle and given the price of petrol in Ireland compared to Australia not much more expensive.You also get to see more.See you in 2011 Gerry!!!
