We had breakfast here as a part of our stay and it was very bad. The worst meal we have had in our trip to Ireland. The eggs were cold, like they had been refrigerated before being put on non-functional heating plates. The beans were at best room temperature. The bacon was just slices of salt that had been cooked and then placed in the freezer before ending up on my plate. The fruit had several rotten prices in it. The pastries were fine, but rather dry.
The service was bad, we had several wait staff make eye contact, see that we were flagging them down, before they would look away and walk the other way. Eventually one came to help us, but decided that finishing making up a recently cleared table was more important than helping us. Eventually we did get what we needed, but it was indicative of the bad service that this entire hotel suffers from.
Avoid this place. Do not pay extra for breakfast and find anywhere...

Main course- Duck breast was overcooked and had a couple of bones left in it, very unappetising. The monk fish was severely overcooked rendering it completely inedible. As expected we decided to skip dessert. Do yourselves a favor and skip Marinas Grill in favor of many other wonderful Galway...

Had to ask for it to be removed from the bill at payment and was offered no alternative at the time when I sent almost the full plate back. Avoid the chicken wings too - they were awful quality and broke apart as if they'd been overcooked so the bones were brittle and broke as you ate them. Really poor food,...
