Top Claddagh Hotel Reviews

The Dean Galway

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very welcoming. Got some excellent recommendations from the bartender at the Side Kick bar. We took every recommendation and we’re so happy we did. I forgot her name but she was great. The bed was super comfortable and the shower was the best we had on our entire trip. If you can catch a sunset from the rooftop bar, you will not be disappointed."

Clybaun Hotel Galway

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean, comfortable and modern. We had a very comfortable stay, I used the gym facilities and they where well maintained and helped to continue my fitness goals even on holidays. The staff where so friendly, helpful and a pleasure to deal with. It's a very well situated hotel and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We will be staying again."

Flannery's Hotel Galway

10/10 Excellent

"Although we had a car rental, we appreciated being able to use public transportation. There are buses regularly available in front of the hotel for easy access to the center of Galway. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms are well appointed. We appreciated the coffee machine in our room which was replenished daily. Instructions for how to use the coffee machine were provided. Daily room service was provided without having to ask for it. We were unable to figure out how to use the TV. Instructions would have been helpful, but we had so much planned, that we never asked for help with it. Morning news would have been welcomed. Overall, we were very pleased with having chosen the Flannery Hotel and highly recommend it to anyone interested in visiting Galway."

Galway Bay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"El personal muy amable. La higiene y limpieza estuvo muy bien. Nos gustó mucho la limpieza y las normas que había en la pileta. El hotel cuenta con máquinas para llenar botellitas con agua potable. Hay retaurantes y bar dentro del hotel, pero si preferís ir al centro solo debes tomarte una sola línea de bus desde la parada bien al frente del hotel. Lo súper recomiendo!"
