Top Quay Street Hotel Reviews

The Dean Galway

8/10 Good

"Overall, nice place. A little too hipster cute. Door to our balcony was nearly impossible to open or close once you got it open. Doorknob and window mechanism to outside in need of repair. You’re also competing with classes & gym members for space there, which is somewhat annoying. Minor issues for — by and large — a comfortable place to stay."

The Snug Townhouse

10/10 Excellent

"Front desk was unbelievably helpful from dinner suggestions to making reservations. Rory was extremely knowledgeable about every little thing we asked about. He’s a great asset to The Sung Hotel l. Absolutely will recommend to friends who are visiting Ireland soon !!!"

Leonardo Hotel Galway

8/10 Good

"The location is the best part of this hotel for sure. Right at the start of quay street- main walking district area. Parking garage was a very tight squeeze."

7 Cross Street

10/10 Excellent

"Great boutique hotel in the middle of the music scene. We loved it"

Skeffington ArmsHotel

10/10 Excellent

"We were extremely happy with our stay at the Skeffington Arms. The receptionist welcomed us warmly and graciously, answered our questions, showed us where things were on a map, and suggested restaurants and shops. Our room was lovely: clean and spacious with all the necessary amenities. We were surprised when we received extra towels and toilet paper every day, even though we didn’t request them. No other hotel has ever done that, in Ireland or anywhere else in Europe. That was much appreciated, especially when we returned at night from tours. We enjoyed a freshly cooked delicious breakfast, and what we didn’t finish we asked to be packed for us, as we had to meet a tour bus. We stopped by the adjoining bar/restaurant, which has live music nightly until about 1:00 a.m., and were happy with the cocktails and our meal. We highly recommend The Skeffington Arms and will be delighted to book lodgings there again. Oh! The hotel’s location on Eyre Square is perfect for getting to all the main attractions, restaurants and train station. The Skeffington Arms is a gem!!!"

Harbour Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely stay at the Harbour Hotel in Galway! It's in a quiet area by the water but a super short walk to the center of town and everything you'd want to do. The room was clean and well-maintained, and the bed was one of the comfiest and largest I've ever had in a European hotel room. My husband and I have a king sized bed at home in the US, so we usually expect a downgrade when we travel (which is fine), but not in this case! Happily surprised!"

City HideAway

8/10 Good

"It was ok"

Kinlay Hostel Galway

8/10 Good

"Another great stay. My second in the last year and love how organized, clean and quiet the stay is considering its in the heart of the city. Keep doing what you’re doing! Highly recommend. And LOVE the overnight oats!"
