Hotel Butik di Kinvara

"First off, this is a 700 year old building. I cannot even imagine having to maintain modern facilities in such an old property. That's where the deductions come off for cleanliness and maintenance. The positives: Friendly and helpful staff, absolutely prime location inside the Latin quarter. 30 seconds after leaving your room, you can be ordering a pint at the pub next door. They mention the noise in the description, but it wasn't really a big issue so long as you kept the windows...

"Beautiful hotel and a good choice for golfing. However, compared to other 5 star hotels we stayed at in Ireland over our one week trip, service and amenities at this hotel are mediocre and value is not as good. Reception staff seem to be many summer student-age and can be better trained and more willingly helpful. Some are friendly and helpful but not all. Main restaurant seems to be very well managed and food was good. Loved Galway and will go back, but will likely look for another hotel."
