"Clean hotel, friendly staff and super convenient location."

The Dean Galway

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel. Restaurant is lovely and good location. Rooms are small enough but beds are comfortable. Swimming pool is outside which is funny for a hotel in Galway"

The Residence Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Right in the heart of things. Easy 10 min walk from the train station and around town. Live music in the pubs. Great small shops. Nice walk along the water. If you are a light sleeper, the evening crowds like to party (in a positive way). Staff was welcoming and efficient. An overall great experience."

Victoria Hotel

8/10 Good

"Clean. Staff were kind and helpful. WiFi worked. Did not eat here. When you park your car be sure to get all the digits correctly - we got clamped b/c we didn't know the 1 was not a capital "i"...different fonts screwed us as we didn't know the first 3 numbers/alpha in Ireland license plates are always numbers! Lesson learned!"

Abbeygate Townhouse

10/10 Excellent

"Everything is excellent."

The Snug Townhouse

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient to everything in the Latin quarter, parking is only steps away. Comfortable for a family of 3 - great shower (maybe the best in Ireland!) The provided earplugs are a necessity due to the businesses in the area but to be expected when booking something in that area."

Leonardo Hotel Galway

8/10 Good

"Enjoyed the stay, great location in a very vibrant town"

The Western Hotel

10/10 Excellent
