Anybody been to this place in galway? Is it worth bringing herself to it for the weekend?

hey,

live beside it and it's very, very flash.

but you do realise the cost involved? very pricey...

I passed by here on a recent trip to Galway, it doesn't look much from the outside but it's meant to be nice inside. Friends aunt and uncle went in for a drink, put their coats on the chairs beside them and a waiter made them give him the coats (didn't want to make the place untidy).

There is a little bar somewhere in there though that you are apparently able to relax in a lot more than the outer part and the drink is LOT cheaper

I went in ther ewith five friends after exams last year. The place is very nice inside, but fairly ostentatious, but just horribly situated. You're looking out on a manky polluted inlet one side, and a car park the other. The bar is comfy, and not as dear as I thought. Cocktails were ten fifty, and the Living room is 10.95 for a "premium" cocktail. They won't let you take photos inside though, to protect copyright! The bar man let us though, as he knew we were students, even we were all besuited and bedressed.
Went in to Cuba afterward, looked ****ing deadly. Nice place, but to stay? I'd say they rip your genitals out through your wallet.

Try to ring them
We rang during the summer to see and they offered us a room for 160 for a sunday night which wasnt bad @ the time the rate on the internet was about 180
Looks like about 220 now anywhere i looked

Overly priced hotel, a little out of town.

try Park House hotel or radisson, as they are very close to city centre and have car parking

I've stayed in the G a couple of months ago and its definitely,definitely worth it.
The rooms are large with a gigantic walk in shower and deep bath tub.Theres a wall hanging LCD tv and a walk in wardrobe.
The coridoors are quirky and dark-in fact the whole hotel is quirky.
When you first get up to your room,theres a welcome gift waiting for you usually some very tast iced cup cakes.

It's a true 5 star but not that much dearer than say the great southern(nice lobby but the rooms are dirty old and not looked after) which is a dump in comparison.

The Radisson is only about a 5 min walk closer to Eyre Sq by the way
