Guests consistently praise The Hotel Britomart's modern interiors and convenient location, surrounded by restaurants and shops near the ferry terminal and Commercial Bay. The Galway rooms are spacious, with great views of the harbor and piazza below; however, some guests have found other rooms to be a bit small. Guests have enjoyed cocktails in the bar, and the restaurant is open 24 hours, with a convenience store just a block away.

Stylish stay

central location early check-in
The central location proved convenient for exploring. Upon arrival from an early flight, the staff offered a cute early check-in. The lobby exuded a divine scent, matched by well-equipped rooms. We enjoyed breakfasts in the hotel and dined at Angus Steakhouse nearby.
The credit card surcharge was not correctly applied upon departure, resulting in an overcharge of $50. Resolution required multiple phone calls and emails. The refund is still pending after almost a month.
