Effin Holidays from £269

Stayed at the Westwood for a week while attending a conference at the University of Galway. I've not complaints about the place or the staff. Indeed, I quite enjoyed my stay there and would certainly consider staying there again. This said, there are two things I wish I had known about before deciding to stay there: (1) Unless you have your own vehicle, you're largely dependent on bus 404 or taxi to get to/from the city centre (it's a good 50-60min walk each way); and (2) there's no food/drink options in the immediate vicinity by other than a Spar. This said, the food at Kelehan's Bar & Restaurant, which is about 1.5km further up the N59, is superb; as are the pints.

Attended a wedding here in April 26 and had the best wedding meal and breakfast the next day was equally as good. Went back for a short stay in June and was not dissapointed. Everything about this hotel is top notch.

It was good and we enjoyed our stay

We enjoyed sharing an apartment, with use of a full kitchen, a lounge and clean modern bedrooms. The staff were extremely helpful and kind.

Beautiful, spacious property. Practical Details for Americans: they have a water kettle not a coffee pot, so purchase instant or bag coffee before you come, not beans or ground. They have a washer and dryer. You need to bring pods and be aware, it's a condenser dryer that takes about 2 hours to dry a verysmall load (5-6 items). Be sure to empty the dryer water tank. It's muddy on the property, so bring slippers or alternate shoes plus something to put your shoes in to protect your suitcase. They don't provide paper or kitchen towels or napkins, so pick those up at Tesco. Overall, wonderful space. Would recommend.
