Cet hôtel devait avoir une bonne réputation il y a 10 ans ! Il vieillit mal et à besoin d’une cure de rajeunissement.... toutefois il n’est pas cher...

Westwood - Good Value in Galway

While the hotel is exactly as it appears, it is definitely tired and in need of a good capital improvement.

Un hôtel classique !

Bon accueil, chambre agréable. Hôtel un peu excentré mais environnement relativement calme. Petit-déjeuner correct mais un peu décevant pour un 4 étoiles.
