   I had a great evening dining here with three friends. We were warmly welcomed by the host, Maria, and our server, Zuzana, was professional and attentive, regularly checking in on us throughout the meal. We ordered a mix of pizzas and the tempura prawns — everything was absolutely delicious, with the prawns perfectly crisp and the pizzas full of flavour. Great food, lovely service, and a relaxed atmosphere — we’ll definitely be back!

   Both food and drinks were excellent. Service was great too, thanks to our French waiter. Highly recommend.

   Sophie’s was delicious, and we had such a great time. The service was impeccable - we loved Susannah!

   I had a lovely breakfast here; full Irish, toast & a pot of tea. It was very quiet when I arrived (it was later on in the morning). That 360° view upstairs is something else and very different between the morning and night-time. The food is lovely, the sausages & white pudding in particular and it was a nice change to have crushed potatoes served as well. Honestly I didn't feel hungry again until well after lunchtime.

   So happy to hear your enjoyed your breakfast Berenice! You can grab a different view of Galway on our rooftop at any given time!! Sunrise and sunset are my personal favourites. We hope you come back again soon!!

   Probably the best pizza I've ever eaten (Diavola) & the skin-on fries were gorgeous. Ambience was lovely and I was very grateful for a wee bourbon selection. Near me there were two ladies drinking cocktails & they looked/sounded very impressed with them. The staff are lovely in the hotel, whether at reception or at one of the bars or in the dining room @ Sophie's and they're good at anticipating what you might need. It was a positive experience for me and I liked it so much that I'm returning soon. I didn't manage to eat at Elephant & Castle on this trip, but I will try it the next time.

   Delighted that you enjoyed all the aspects of your stay at the hotel Berenice. Super proud of our team and how they can go above and beyond. Definitely give Elephant and Castle a go when you come back. Their chicken wings are the best ever!!

    Great views of the city but the service was bad. Was never checked on. A couple next to us got sat after us but was served before us and was checked on regularly. They never brought my second drink I ordered. They also did not have ingredients for a dirty gin martini.

    Hi Julia,, sorry to hear Sophie's didn't live up to your expectations. I do hope any issues on the night were raised to staff as we do our best to rectify any issues that arise on the day.
