Glenlo Abbey was fabulous. We stayed in the family room and it was beautiful and spacious for four. The staff is so helpful and friendly. The high tea was a lovely experience with Oisin. Would come back again and definitely highly recommend.
Very clean, nice and updated with air conditioning. Beds were perfect, shower nice. Perfect location right across from Galway Girl statue and Quay pub right in center of everything. Staff was super friendly. Rooms are small hence snug but a great place for rest.
Booked this hotel s part of my road trip around Ireland. Initially I was very, very impressed. Foyer, reception were absolutely immaculate and well decorated and the staff were really, really helpful, polite and friendly. Cannot fault the staff here. Went to the bar for a drink before check in - again, staff were lovely and attentive. Went up to room (was told I had an upgrade). Hmm. The room I was in is starting to like a little bit tired now. About 10 years ago it probably would have been stunning but it is starting to look it's age a little bit. Don't get me wrong, very clean and spacious but is just lacking that wow factor that you get driving up to the hotel and in reception. Good facilities in the room - plenty of teas, coffees, toiletries, free drinking water, several clean, fluffy towels, iron, dressing gown, slippers - all the usual that you would expect! No problems here either. Free parking at the back and relatively close to town centre - takes about 15-20 min walk with some lovely scenery along the way. Was going to use the spa but was busy with other things - it looked lovely from the outside though. I guess it's just the room didn't meet the initial wow factor I had when arriving. Probably time to tart it up a bit but no doubt there are other, more expensive rooms that may be a little more luxurious and updated. I paid around £160 for mine. Smallish gripes, but just failed to deliver what it gives you on first impression / website.
We had a lovely stay in The Connought Hotel. The room was very spacious, the bed was very comfortable. The hotels amenities were plentiful, very easy to get taxis, breakfast was delicious. Will definitely return.
ゲゲストThe hostel was easy to spot on the corner of the Square when i got off the bus at the station and it was a warm welcome and efficient check in to a clean and airy room with a view onto the corner of Ayre Square. The beds were comfy enough and the bathrooms were clean. I appreciated the breakfast, which was simple but ample, and with a slight local twist. The atmosphere was good in the hostel throughout my 3 days there, and this is in part due to work of the staff. I'd particularly like to mention Tom, who was always friendly and provided good tips and suggestions when asked. The only drawback would come if you are a light sleeper. It's in a great location but remember it's a hostel in Galway right above a bar. It does get quiet for a few hours before daybreak at least. I did feel tired after 3 nights. I would go back though, but maybe for one or two night next time!
ゲゲストModern hotel which is easy to find if arriving by car on the edge of the city. Plenty of car parking Nice outside area to enjoy a drink or meal A good breakfast It’s a €15 ride into city centre Front desk were ok on check in - not exactly welcoming and all a bit robotic Typical business hotel with banging doors starting at around 7am The shower towels are the size of large hand towels which is always a disappointment when staying at a hotel The bar/eating area smells very strongly of cooking/frying in the evening which means that the kitchen needs better ventilation Not a bad stay but just a very modern faceless hotel
TTravelin_BensWe had a very nice time at the Hyde Hotel in Galway. It is very centrally located which was helpful for anyone without a car. It was also just a 3 minute walk from the train station, which was very convenient. All the staff was very helpful, gave us recommendations on things to do and places to eat. We got the Bed and Breakfast option, and it was definitely worth it. Their breakfast was delicious, we especially liked the pancakes. Our only slight disappointment was that our room did not have A/C, but the window did open to get fresh air and they had a fan in our room which helped. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Galway.
SSightseer52655227986I really wanted to rate this hotel a little higher, perhaps 3.5 stars. The PROS: 1. Great location, not far from the bus and train stations and an easy walk to restaurants, shops, and pubs. 2. The hotel itself has a nice pub; a great place to stop in for a drink or snack, with an Irish band certain days of the week. A shout out to Zed and Tina at the bar. 3. Our room was spacious and clean. CONS: 1. The hotel is a little worn around the edges, and the beds and pillows were not all that comfortable for us. I heard that renovations are in the works to expand the reception area and hopefully the rooms will be renovated as well. 2. Housekeeping was inconsistent. One day we did not get new coffee packets and cream; another day the dirty glasses and coffee cups were not taken away and replaced by new ones. We realize that these things happen, but when we took our dirty dishes to reception there was no apology or offer to fix the problem and in fact we were given a lame excuse along the lines of ‘maybe housekeeping thought we wanted to keep the used cups” (with dried coffe in them?) and we were told to carry our dirty cups and glasses to the bar and get new ones from them ourselves. In fact, the hotel seemed to be staffed mainly with young inexperienced people who definitely could use more training in the area of customer service. We had some other issues with service and for this reason the rating cannot be a 4. I’m not sure I would stay again, unless changes are made.
Spent a few nights here with friends recently. Check in was smooth with a very friendly Aoife . Room was a good size , very comfortable beds and a spotless bathroom with bath and rain shower . The bar food was tasty and reasonably priced , the service was fast and efficient and we did not feel in any way rushed . The staff were friendly and smiling . Plenty of choice for breakfast . We will be back !
