Leonardo Hotel Galway
The hotel was in. A great spot with views of the Spanish arch and the bay. It is right at the beginning of the Latin district. The hotel was clean and the staff was great. The water pressure in the shower was a low.

Nox Hotel
The room wasn’t clean. There were left over used contact lenses in the room, probably from the guests who stayed there before.

The Snug Townhouse
They weren’t kidding when they named it the SNUG Townhouse. The room is SMALL. As wide as the bed and then just a bit longer.

Eyre Square Hotel
Fantastic location- 5 min walk from bus and discounted parking ($24 was $11 for the night). Nice options to have wine, chocolates or even rose petals emailed to you before trip to be there when you arrive. Breakfast included. Highly recommend!
