Excellent location and loved the free parking! Dinner, drinks, and live music were great although definitely an older crowd. The bed was hard and creaky, the pillows were terrible, and the shower was weird.

Just brought our mom to Galway for the first time and stayed here as its location made things within walking distance. The hotel was clean, fairly quiet and the staff friendly and helpful. It’s not fancy but had everything most people need for a visit to the area. The dining is fantastic and you can walk all over the city from here! We had a great stay!

We came to see the Galway town center and visit the Christmas Market; we stayed nearby at the Western Hotel which is a short walk from Eyre Square. We were in the apartment for the night, it was spacious and very nicely decorated and furnished; we had an enjoyable breakfast the morning at the Western, the menu had a good variety and was delicious.
