Loved that the hotel was a 5 min walk from the train station across the park. You are right in central Galway and all the action. Our room was in the rear of the hotel so it was dead quiet. They have a breakfast for 15 Euros but we chose a breakfast place right across the street. Everything is walkable from the hotel.
