Great location, close to Excellent customer service, staff were very knowledgeable regarding transportation and site seeing. The room was very comfortable and the coffee and tea amenities were appreciated. Also had wonderful dining experience at the restaurant attached to the hotel. I would highly recommend this hotel.
The charm, convenience, and friendliness of the Western Hotel and staff took our stay to the next level. We were upgraded to the apartment option across the street which gave us more room and amazing views. This place is top of the list when returning to Galway.
The hotel was nice, clean and quiet. It is located very close to the downtown shopping, restaurants and bars. So. It is very convenient to enjoy the night life in Galway. The only issue I had was it was hard to find the parking garage at night, and since space is limited, they have a valet service to move cars around.
Very close to the city center, we could walk to Eyre Square in 2 minutes. Great bar and restaurant on the Property. Free underground parking was a bonus. Great hotel, nice and quiet, beds very comfortable and clean.
No the Hotels fault. The person next door had his TV up as loud and possible when I checked into my room on the 4th Floor. I could not really understand where it was coming from until I reached my room. I did not think too much about it as I was going out for dinner. When I returned it wa still as load. I had to call reception for them to come and ask them to turn it down but nobody answered the door. They then went and try to contact them via phone and then came back up again and finally got an answer. It was still loud until I ended up banging the wall. So at 11:30 it seemed to quieten down. Then at 07:15 next morning bang on it comes again. Walls and doors must be really thin or the person must have been dead. Anyway it wasted my night in Galway and Ila’s I said not really hotels fault.
Close to the excitement, but serene inside. Galway is famous for local music and nightlife, it is also a beautiful stop for nature lovers. Natural water scenes abound: the ocean, the bay, the roaring river Corrib, and every inch that connects them all. On a four star system they deserve five.
This hotel was great for what we needed! Walking distance to everything, multiple beds, hostess was so friendly. Room was quiet and clean, only down side was bed and pillows were not very comfortable. Doable for what we wanted though. Parking included was the draw for us.
