Top Galway City Centre Hotel Reviews

Eyre Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Front desk staff were very friendly and helpful"

Victoria Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A very lovely hotel conveniently close to all the spots of interest. The hotel staff, especially young lady we spoke to just before we left. She helped us get our arrangements for heading back to Dublin.. Regretful part of the day is that the breakfast is very scant. The coffee was not good, which was surprising. The fruit was very poor.. that’s too bad cause otherwise it was a pleasant stay."

Skeffington ArmsHotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is centrally located to see all the sights of Galway. The rooms were a good size with all the amenities. The staff were incredibly helpful and went out of their way to be helpful. I was celebrating an anniversary and they went out of their way to make it special. The bar is directly below the hotel which can be good or bad. They have live music most nights and it is a happening spot. If you need quiet to sleep, then this is not the hotel for you. However we stayed in the second floor and it didn’t keep up awake. Overall I would recommend and I would stay again."
