2.0 / 10.0

Poor customer service was experienced two days in a row in the breakfast dining room. Staff took my order for coffee two days in a row and then didn’t deliver it. Had to ask other staff a couple of times to please bring coffee. On day two my wife and I had the great fortune to get on a “wait list” for a table for breakfast. We waited 25 minutes to be seated. When it came time to check out I asked the front desk for a porter to get our bags. I waited for another 25 minutes while I watched others who had come after me receive their luggage. For the price of this supposedly five star resort I found the lack of good customer service quite disappointing. I, unfortunately, will not book another stay here.

4.0 / 10.0

The staff is very attentive and helpful. The bartender was amazing. We just needed 2 more of him as the lounge was under staffed. Beautiful location just 2 miles from downtown. I wish it had a pool and had upgraded walk in showers. The breakfast was amazing. Also Pullman Restaurant is a flash back to days gone by. Dont miss it....it is remarkable.

4.0 / 10.0

This is a nice enough hotel, but the property is dated, it badly needs a renovation, and if you think it is some sort of castle, it is not. The staff is really excellent, but for the price, I would not revisit and would discourage anyone from booking there expecting any sort of luxury experience. It is an old hotel with old rooms.

10.0 / 10.0

Beautiful hotel and property. Amazing food and excellent service. The golf course was incredible as well.

10.0 / 10.0

Hotel is beautiful and staff are great. The Pullman was the highlight of our trip. The food is outstanding and the service even more so. Ian made our dining experience so memorable, he was personable, extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The staff in the hotel itself were also lovely and very friendly. Excellent experience.

10.0 / 10.0

This is a lovely property. The rooms are spacious and well designed. Bed was very comfortable. AC in rooms. Did have washcloths. The drinks in the lounge are expensive. $16-18 per drink, these only have 32 ml of alcohol in each drink so a double can add up. We did the preset meal at the restaurant on the property. It was just OK for the price of $90 pp. The bikes that are available to ride around the property need to be updated.

5.0 / 10.0

Awesome Job! Awesome Property.

8.0 / 10.0

The property is beautiful and rooms are lovely. Only thing that could have made the stay is breakfast options and keeping buffet options filled as many options were empty bowls. (Yogurt, fruit, granola) there was also very limited staff for breakfast hours.

6.0 / 10.0

The service and room fell short of expectations though the grounds are spectacular. The dining options are good, but not standout. The room had a musty smell and lacked control over temperature. The service was average. The grounds were gorgeous and the falconry was a fun and wonderful highlight of our stay.

10.0 / 10.0

From the moment we arrived until we checked out the staff were top notch. The evening movie was a nice touch. The falconry experience with Jason a highlight.

10.0 / 10.0

The hotel itself is beautiful in an amazing setting. Our room was very comfortable with a great bathroom. Our porter (Michael I think) that greeted us when we arrived, was very friendly and helpful. He met us when we checked out as well and helped us plan our day.

We had a wonderful day for our 10 year wedding anniversary. The staff was exceptionally friendly and kind and answered all of our questions. They made several suggestions around the surrounding areas.

The doormen, especially Michael, were very helpful and insightful, as were the front desk staff. The grounds and the Abbey were beautiful. We will definitely stay here again, next trip to Galway.

5.0 / 10.0

Simply beautiful and matched by excellent service from all staff members you encounter. We arrived late and welcomed with professionalism and warmth. Rooms, linens and fixtures fittings excellent. Bar and lounge just what you need after a long day. Leo knowledge and charm behind the cocktail bar second to none and the best negroni and setting in a very long time.

4.0 / 10.0

Despite the rain, we loved our stay! Front desk, porters, and door man/concierge were super helpful and informative. Our room was lovely, spacious and quiet. Spendy but worth it. Close to town, we were treated like a Lord and Lady! The sitting rooms were gorgeous, perfect to read a book or sip a warm drink by the fire. The "Abbey" was custom built for one of the original ladies of the house who was an invalid. Now it is converted into a beautiful sitting room/game room with gothic touches. My favorite space. Wait staff in the restaurants needed more training - Dinner in the Palmer Kitchen (casual option) went an extra hour as the wait staff seemed to forget us after we ordered starters, and brought us other people's dishes on two occasions, ignored our neighbors. We had to ask for the check three times. Food was good, but needs better management, at least to train newer staff on dining service. Breakfast was generous and tasty, again, waitress never brought our toast after 2 requests. That dining room was elegant. There is also fine dining in the Pullman Restaurant (converted train cars) which I'm assuming has better service. We'll try on our next visit.

10.0 / 10.0

Beautiful historic property that has been tastefully and carefully updated. Very clean and well maintained. The staff is superbly service oriented and friendly. The dinning options are great especially the historic pullman restaurant.

We loved The Abbey. The staff and rooms were wonderful.

10.0 / 10.0

This is a stunning property with very professional and friendly staff. There is a beautiful perimeter walk on property, around the golf course and grounds which can include the lake (~1.2-1.5 mile circuit). The food in Palmer’s bar was fine, we liked the chicken supreme quite a bit and the wait staff, especially Derry, was wonderful. Lovely nooks like you’ll find in the lounge are perfect for reading and having tea. Breakfast was an amazing and almost decadent experience. Three downsides to be aware of: 1.) the onsite ferry did not go out the days we were there due to winds, and that was a bit disappointing. 2.) While the Pullman sounded like an idyllic experience, the very limited menu drove us to other options. 3.) The air conditioning will shut off every 15-30 minutes, potentially making for a toasty sleep (unless you can figure it out)! All in all, we would recommend it highly!
