Find the Best Galway Hotels

We visited for two nights, the first of which was our anniversary. We were provided expedited access as we arrived early, and a lovely and thoughtful welcome amenity. The hotel is located within walking distance from the city center, the complimentary parking in an attached garage is a huge benefit, and the breakfast included with our room was filling and tasty. The room was spotless and very large, and the bed comfortable. The uniformly helpful, professional, and pleasant staff made the visit more than the sum of its parts. They really were first-rate. I recommend this property without (so to speak) reservation.

Staff were very friendly and courteous. Breakfast was excellent. Bar decor lovely.location is right in the heart of the city. Loads of pubs, bars and restaurants. I would highly recommend Eyre Square and a stay in the Victoria Hotel.

A very overdue review but didn’t want to not leave it. Had a lovely stay here in May. Staff were so kind and helpful. Room much bigger than expected (family room) and very quiet – even when we saw a raucous looking hen night setting up and then didn’t hear a squeak from it all night. Lovely pool and whilst there were lessons going on we still had ample space to swim and change. Really enjoyed our stay and felt it was well priced for the standard. Only con is that the buses aren’t as regular as hoped especially through the weekend so we had to take more taxis as expected as town was a hefty walk away (and hire car prices seem to have gone crazy in Ireland!). But will come back for sure. Thank you!

Had an amazing 2 day stay with my mom. We come up every few months, and this will defo be our new place to stay. We absolutely loved it, beautiful views from the sea view rooms and really good breastfast. Hotel didn’t feel overly busy and staff very friendly and helpful. Can’t wait for our next stay in July😊

What a lovely location, a gorgeous hotel and the swimming pool was great with the added bonus of an outside hot tub overlooking the sea. My room was 631 with a large king bed, desks, adequate bathroom with bath and shower, seats with table, desk and TV and all the usual facilities in a hotel room. No sockets by the bed though which is something all hotels need to have now but that was the only criticism of the room. Staff where lovely, helpful and friendly although I give 4 stars as check-in didnt happen for 10 minutes due to no staff being at the reception, no idea why but it got sorted OK. The hotel is clean, the room was clean, well presented and very welcoming. I had breakfast which was the normal cooked breakfast buffet, toasts, pancakes, breads, cereals, tea or coffee, juices with plenty of seating options and a view of the sea. The staff were great, the food was good and the atmosphere relaxed. The view gives you a great start to the day. I used the pool which was great. Some families there with kids, a swimming lane, working steam room, sauna and heated jacuzzi. The outside hottub is amazing. It is a must do at this hotel. It was raiing on my stay so the outside tennis court and kids play area werent being used but its worth a mention that they have these. Location feels remote but its only 5-10 minutes from Salthill and Galway by car. There is a petrol station beside the hotel on the main road and a small village. I guess you access the hotel by car, taxi or bus.

Glenlo Abbey is the perfect place for a relaxing stay. Beautiful olde worlde atmosphere...open fires and inviting lounges. Excellent food and efficient friendly staff....could not find fault in any aspect! Lovely 9 hole golf course on site run by pro Gary. He is very welcoming as are his staff and I would highly recommend a round on this well kept and interesting course. Overall....a wonderful hotel with top class staff. No hesitation in recommending this most lovely establishment to all my friends.! A little gem on the wild atlantic way!

The hotel is right next to the bus station, the El Square is just across the road, there is a visitor center across the road, and there is a question to ask directly. We are going to Asford Castle the next day. The staff at the visitor center helped us check the bus time and booked a taxi for us. The hotel's facilities are very distinctive, the interior is old-fashioned, the beds are old, similar to our beds of the 780s, but very clean. The entire hotel room is partially filled with the smell of disinfectant. The hotel breakfast was delicious and the rest were average.

Booking without knowledge of the city or facility is always a shot in the dark. The Ardilaun has great atmosphere and the staff was wonderful! The room was clean and they have rooms for pets with a special outdoor area. It is great to have a nice place to stay with our dog! The front desk checked us in and walked us to our room, the bar staff was helpful and the service was also very good. The only issue I had and this was minuscule in terms of our stay… the breakfast that was included was subpar. There was a nice continental area that may suit most fine, but the hot ordered breakfast could use some improvement. The pancakes were cold and hard, like they had been prepared ahead of time and one of our omelettes was very much overcooked. All in all, I would recommend a stay at the Ardilaun…stick with the continental portion of the breakfast. Both the continental and hot were included in our stay, so again, wasn’t a huge factor. I would book here again.
