3-Star Hotels in County Galway, Ireland

The hotel is very cozy, with excellent service and good facilities. Breakfast is 15 euros per person, not very extensive, but still acceptable. There is a bar in the lobby. The hotel has its own parking lot, which is very convenient. I would definitely stay here again when I visit Galway next time.

Very convenient location - just a minute or two walk from the train station. Room was clean, facilities were reasonable for the price. The issue we did have though was not receiving any check-in details prior to arriving in the evening. While trying to check in, a few groups managed to check in - having received earlier that day an email from the accommodation. For whatever reason, we didn't get ours. After a number of messages/calls and seeking assistance from the hotel across the road, we managed to finally receive comms from the accommodation in order to gain entry. While the individual from Madison House was adamant they sent the email, they weren't able to provide proof of this upon request...

Amazing accomodation in Athenry. We booked this accomodation because it was a 20 minute train ride from Galway and the lodge was a very short walk from the train station. We really enjoyed being at the Lodge at the Old Barracks. The accomodation had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. But what was a true highlight was the breakfast at the cafe below (included with our booking) - the food was so delicious and better than any other hotel breakfast I’ve had. Would come back just for the breakfast!!  Small note, the floor above creaked when the people moved around the room above which was a bit of a disturbance early in the morning or at night.  But overall, would 10/10 recommend!

The location is good, close to restaurants and supermarkets. I didn’t like that so many things were broken. The shelf in the bathroom was loose and tilted, the wall lights next to the beds needed tightened as well, as they flipped on the side. The bathroom door handle and lock didn’t work. We had some long dark hair in our room. A lot was broken or crooked. It was ok for one night, but I wouldn’t stay longer. The girl at the desk was not very knowledgeable regarding her surroundings. I’ve asked about the Burren.  The Italian restaurant was good, the breakfast in the morning was good as well. However I emailed the hotel for gluten free options but I didn’t get any.

Hyde Hotel in Galway is a stylish and comfortable choice with a fantastic location. The rooms are modern, well-designed, and spotlessly clean, making for a very pleasant stay. The hotel is conveniently situated near the city centre, perfect for exploring Galway’s attractions, restaurants, and nightlife. One of the highlights was the breakfast—absolutely fantastic! There was a wide selection of fresh and delicious options, catering to different tastes and dietary needs. It was well worth it and a great way to start the day. Overall, Hyde Hotel is an excellent option for a city break, offering both comfort and a top-quality breakfast experience.

The Connaught is the name of the province Galway is in, and a guide later told me this is the largest hotel in all of Galway. So, the good thing is that the hotel is huge and quite professional, as it's split into several buildings that are quite far apart. On the way to my room, I even passed by a public gym and a childcare center. Both the above-ground and underground parking lots are very spacious, which is great if you're driving. The downside of such a large hotel, however, is that you shouldn't expect much in the way of service. Room cleaning usually didn't happen until around 3 PM, and there were no slippers provided by default (good thing I brought a pair from my Dublin hotel!). The hotel doesn't have air conditioning, but luckily, I didn't catch the heatwave that was happening in the UK at the time. There's a supermarket and post office right opposite the hotel where you can buy bus passes and groceries. Plus, there are several different bus stops that go to Galway city center, so transportation is very convenient.

Pleasant short stay in this hotel on outskirts of Galway city. Easy access via bus to city centre. Convenient car park. I had a good meal in the bar/restaurant which I thoroughly enjoyed. Service was prompt despite the fact that a bus load of people arrived in to the restaurant/bar at the same time as myself. I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to friends and family and will definitely stay here again.

We stayed on the 5th of September. It's a beautiful hotel. We enjoyed everything about this place except the unbearable heat in the room. It was impossible to sleep. There was a portable fan but it was very noisy.And even when it's on, it wasn't helpful. No air conditioner. We had a very poor sleep. And no matter how much we enjoyed the gym, swimming pool, food, friendly staff and the atmosphere of the hotel, we would not stay here next time.

It was a bit tricky to find but the staff were very helpful. They suggested free parking for the night and even provided a map to get there. They lent us an adaptor as Swiss plugs could not go into Irish sockets. Very pleasant stay and the room was fine, all necessary amenities available as well as aircon.
