    I recently had the pleasure of staying at a hotel in Oranmore and I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. the value for money was exceptional. At only 55 Euro per night, including breakfast, it was a steal. Secondly, the staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, going above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable. Lastly, the location was perfect. Situated in the center of Oranmore, it was convenient for exploring the area and had stunning sunset views. All in all, it was a fantastic stay that exceeded my expectations.

    All in all, our stay at this hotel was perfect and we couldn't fault a thing.

    Just a 10-minute walk to oranmore castle. Comfortable beds in the rooms. Oran Tandoori served dishes within 300 metres off the hotel.

    The first impression of this hotel was excellent. The modern building with a secure underground car park and a bright, welcoming lobby created a great atmosphere. The attention to detail was evident when the General Manager, Jonathon, granted our request for two twin rooms with an interconnecting door. The rooms themselves were bright and modern, with large windows that provided a stunning sunset view of Oranmore. The glass panelled walls in the bathroom added a touch of elegance. Additionally, the fact that breakfast was included in the rate was a great value for money.

    All was well during our stay at this hotel.

    I was very impressed with the guy on reception, he was very efficient and had a very good manner. The hotel was spotless and everything was just a reach away, however, a shortage of reception staff when checking out, as the guy who was on the evening before was dealing with another customer, I had to wait 10 mins for someone to attend the desk, I didn't mind so much, but another person might take offence.

    I didn't like the fact that only two girls were on at breakfast time in the dining room, I personally thought they were quite rude as I asked one of them for a tray to carry a plate and cups to my table, and she informed me that they have no trays, alot of people were caught like this, especially if you have kids and have to carry a number of plates back and forth to the table, also the shortage of food was a big problem, all that was left at 9.45 was two sausages and two pieces of bacon, and when asked if there was any more being cooked the waitress went off to find out and must of ran out the back door, as I didn't see her for the rest of the morning, Breakfast was minimal, sausage bacon and scrambled egg, some beans and mushrooms would be a fantastic filler on the plate and the stomach. I would recommend this hotel as it is spotless, but not for the breakfast.

    We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The best aspects were the cleanliness, hotel facilities, location by the wonderful beaches to the west of the city, and the friendly staff. The hotel was spotless, and the facilities were top-notch. We also enjoyed the convenient location, which allowed us to easily explore the beautiful beaches in the area, as well as visit the famous Cliff of Moher. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

    Nothing.

    The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was quiet and comfortable.

    There are only a few small issues that I had with services. The containers for the shampoo etc in the shower were sitting on a small shelf and were not enclosed. I am very short sighted and had to lift one to see which was which. In doing so I knocked the other one to the shower floor and broke the mechanism at the top!!! The lighting in the bathroom was also very poor. There was no food available in the evening in the hotel but the staff were very helpful in advising me about good places to eat. In the dining room at breakfast the tea was in a container. I would prefer tea that is made freshly in a teapot.

    The hotel was in a nice location close to the main city of galway

    The breakfast offering was very poor, standard and choice of hot food was not great and the presentation of same was also very poor, would have paid more for a better breakfast

    Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable, with a great view of the surroundings. the breakfast buffet offered a good variety of options. the hotel is conveniently located near restaurants and shops.

    The hotel could use some updating, as it feels a bit dated. the noise from nearby construction was occasionally disruptive.

    I liked the central location in Oranmore, and also not being rushed out of the room on the morning of the departure. I also liked that each room had a balcony.

    I was staying in a fmaily room, which was locked, however it did feel like I was sharing the room with another couple as I could hear their conversations through the wall. Also my credit card was taken off me on my arrival which I assumed was to take the price of the room, however when I checked out I was asked again for my credit card. They had put a pre-autherised amount of €10 through on my card the evening I checked in.

    location was good,only 10euro return by local bus into the city.good value for money,breakfast was average buffet style.

    We had booked a double room and then was given a twin room and we couldnt put the beds together,so i told the rception so then 20mins later moved us to a double room,this room they gave us was a disabled room ,i again said i was not happy with this room and they said they were fully booked now i know we only paid 59.00euro for the room but i didnt think this was good enough.We were given the choice of going back to the twin room bot chose to say in the disabled one.

    I recently had a fantastic stay at a hotel in a charming village with a great location. The prices were incredibly reasonable, especially considering the amenities included. The rooms were modern and stylish, with glass panelled walls that provided a stunning view of the sunset over the village. The balcony was an added bonus, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or evening drink. The staff were very friendly and attentive, ensuring that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. The basic amenities were all there, and the breakfast, which was included in the rate, was well-cooked and satisfying.

    All in all, my stay at this hotel was absolutely fine.

    Some very nice bars nearby and easy access to Galway city by bus or car, Very pleasant breakfast chef .

    Heating in the room should be turned on before your arrival , but not a major problem as it heated up in a short time

    It was very central for my working weekend. The staff were friendly and able to deal with any queries that arose.

    The room was for single occupancy, however there was an extra sofa bed made up in the room which took up too much space. I would have preferred the clear space and the sofa to sit on.
