We had a great stay at the Western Hotel! The room was comfortable and surprisingly spacious for the price. It’s about a 10-minute walk to the city center, which was perfect—close enough to everything but still quiet at night. Breakfast had a solid variety of options, and every staff member we interacted with was warm and helpful. Would definitely stay again!

A short walk to the main shopping in the Latin Quarter but far enough away that you are not disturbed by the crowds. Underground parking was VERY handy but not easy to find - had to drive past the hotel 3 times, then find parking elsewhere, walk to the hotel to find out how to get in (pro tip... entry is behind the hotel hidden by houses)

Building is older but well maintained and in a good location. Very walkable to the sights in downtown Galway. Parking is limited, but the team does a great job using the limited spaces available. Staff was very friendly and always attentive and smiling. Room was clean and very quiet. We slept well. Showers are of the smaller circular/corner european variety. Water pressure could have been better.
