"This property is above their cafe and my room 5 was directly above the ventilation fans - so you hear them loudly throughout your stay (no mention when booking of “bring earplugs”) Despite being mid December, the radiator in my room was not producing heat - perhaps the staff wear outdoor coats when ‘preparing’ the room.

"Location was very convenient to the touristy areas as well as to walk along the Bay We walked everywhere. Loved the Galway Bay views from throughout the apartment. Kitchen was well stocked with soap, utensils, even laundry soap. The dishwasher wasn't usable while we were there and we would have preferred to have been informed of this ahead. Didn't know until we conferred back and forth with management about the missing dishwasher detergent. But we survived washing our dishes by hand. ...

For travellers looking for a slightly quieter experience with their pet, areas just on the outskirts of the town centre, but still within a 10-15 minute walk, can also be a good option.

How do I ensure I have booked a pet-friendly room in Athenry?
To ensure you've booked a pet-friendly room on Expedia, use the filters in your search and select "Pet friendly" under the "Amenities" section. This will narrow your options to properties that allow pets. Once you find a hotel you're interested in, click on it and review the "Policies" section for specific details about their pet policy. This often includes information about pet types, size restrictions, fees, and whether pets are allowed in all rooms or only certain ones.When selecting your room type, read the room description to check that its pet-friendly, as not all rooms in a pet-friendly hotel may accommodate pets.
