Chopstix - Galway Service Station (Applegreen) in Galway

10/03/2025: I have to say this is a wonderful hotel. I only live down the road, but had to stay during a blackout and the rooms were lovely and comfortable. Breakfast was lovely too, plenty of choice. Recently I've attended a function and the food was wonderful. Also I've been in the meeting rooms and they are bright and airy. All in all a super hotel, great food, staff and decor. Thumbs up from me!

09/03/2025: Our stay was okay, but not great value for money. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the swimming pool was nice, with a separate changing room and travel cot, which was a great touch for families. However, there were several issues. The elevator had a strong chemical smell, our room had maintenance problems (loose door handle, peeling wallpaper, and a non-working TV remote), and it was uncomfortably hot with no thermostat. Room service stopped at 8:30 PM, which felt quite early, and breakfast was expensive for what it was. The pool is also public, so there were kids’ swimming lessons during our visit. Prior to our stay, I had inquired about wedding brochures and a meeting to discuss hosting our wedding here, but no one followed up. When I asked again at reception, I was told to email the events team. After staying, I’ve decided not to consider this venue, and I was disappointed by the lack of effort. Overall, the hotel was just okay, but I wouldn’t stay again.
