The food was outstanding, breakfast was lovely on both mornings, we booked in for dinner on second night and the steak dinners were 1 of the best meals weve ever had, we also had a flat battery when trying to go out for the day and ross came and saved the day and went out of his way for us so cant thank him enough, would 100% recomend and stay here again.
Only 1 issue was a little noise there were a lot of teenagers running around the corridoors but as soon as we told staff it was sorted, also 1 intoxicated guest was locked out at 2am and decided to kick the front door very loudly until the whole hotel was awake but thats no reflection on the hotel

Mick and John were excellent hosts and ensured that my daughter and I enjoyed a wonderful stop-over on our long journey to Galway. The rooms were clean and functional and the showers were hot and powerful. Breakfast was spot-on - a large range to choose from and something for everyone. Really enjoyed our short stay and very impressed with our introduction to Irish hotels!
I didn't understand why one room cost X and the same room right next to it cost X+£50, but we signed-up to it so it's not a criticism (just a query). When I asked in the morning, the young man who checked us out didn't know why there had been a difference.

Bedrooms lovely and warm, comfy bed. Lovely friendly staff. Great breakfast.
Main part of hotel a little chilly but it is an old building, rooms were warm so that was good. Had a BLT for lunch would have been nice if there was some bacon in it. Had roast for dinner was beautiful (apart from pesto on my plate, I don't personally believe pesto goes with a roast dinner but that's just me). Beds could be at a minimum king size but the standard double was very comfortable.

Nice hotel right on the main street. Room had all of the basic requirements. Beds were comfortable and breakfast was nice. Bar staff were very accomodating when we were looking for a late drink at the end of the night.
The room was a little dated and had the smallest tv I've ever seen lol. We didn't need to use it but if you had small kids they would be disappointed with it. I would urge the staff to put proper mats in the bath tub as I nearly fell several times when having a shower.

Hotel was fine and the staff were very friendly - only stayed for one night and was not in the hotel itself much so can't comment on the night life / bar. The room was clean and tidy and the beds were comfortable - there was a slight smell along the corridor when we 1st arrived but then that went away and the shower kept losing its power whilst I was using it. Apart from that everything else was fine - the bar food and the breakfast were both very good - would stay again as this is a nice homely friendly hotel.

We had a flight cancelled along with lots of other people on the 28th August but managed to get a room here. Collette was on reception when we arrived and she was brilliant and extremely helpful even giving us advice on the process of getting a refund from Ryanair along with the name of the form we needed, she also printed out a full receipt for us to give the airline. We went to the bar/ restaurant later and Collette was there again asking if we were ok . The food and the setting were really nice and the staff were excellent very friendly and very quick considering it was very busy.
The only thing I could say is it could do with a lick of paint but it was really clean and the rooms had tea/ coffee making facilities along with an iron and ironing board.

The property was a present surprise. Once you entered, the exterior was a bit drab .The amazing part was the restaurant. The food was really nice, and the gluten-free choice was excellent, from a full irish breakfast to the evening meal starter,main course, and even apple crumble for dessert. A gluten-free heaven would recommend to anyone who is celiac. The rooms are clean and comfortable with nice bathrooms.
The exterior needs renovation.

Location is bang in the middle of Swinford. Delicious breakfast, had the full Irish day one and the pancakes day two, best pancakes I've had in a restaurant in ages.
I understand things need to be maintained and no doubt this was a once off, but the drilling at reception went through my head, once they're finished renovating I'm sure it won't be an issue. The room was great, big bathroom but there only seemed to hot water in the tap in the morning but not in the evening.

Room spacious and beds comfortable. Bathroom spacious and plenty of hot water. Shower hats would be ideal if supplied. Breakfast delicious, hot and plentiful. Dining room spacious and airy and no delay in service. Bar food equally delicious and reasonable.
Two windows couldn't be opened, however, once reported, maintenance opened one - though could have done with the second. No cover over peep hole on bedroom door. No drinking glasses provided, would have been ideal for water in the intense heat. Signage could be provided on departing lift to rear car park.

Very friendly professional staff. The food was excellent. Tasty breakfast. The decor is very pleasant inside. Clean comfortable bedroom. Easy parking just outside the door of the Hotel.
The external facade could do with a re-think - if you were just passing and didn't know how much better it was inside, you wouldn't really be inspired to stop and go in. It's hard to identify it unless you're directly outside it - New more prominent and contempory signage would be a good investment.
