Ballyhoura Country Fishing Holidays

This property is adorable! Beware: there is no lift, the stairs are narrow and the room is tiny. With that said, we loved it. The rooms are identified by the names of authors, the breakfast is ample and the location offers multiple options for food and drink steps from your door.

The Galmont has a good location and some nice design features to the hotel, including a very nice outdoor terrace area that overlooks the water. What the Galmont is lacking it is a proper level of service with their wait staff. On two separate occasions, we waited to be seated, and then to even get a menu for an excessive period of time when there were very few customers in the restaurant. Meanwhile, we could see wait staff standing about and chatting with each other. The same lack of attention to detail issues came into play in our room. We were staying there for two nights and on the first day that we came back to the hotel from being out for the day, we had no toilet paper. Also on that same day, the bathroom had not been cleaned properly. There was an automatic touchscreen for a light on the mirror that I had pushed the button on, and then you could see where the fingerprints were with toothpaste on them. My son and I had been in Ireland for two weeks and we wished we had skipped this stop. On the second day that we stayed there several large tour buses pulled up, dropping a large number of people off for a convention that basically overtook the hotel. Everything was loud and crowded. This hotel was a big disappointment in every respect, respect, find somewhere else to stay in Galway.

Worth the expense for nice rooms, restaurant and great location.

The staff were very hospitable and made my stay enjoyable. They gave me a map and recommended me a list of the different places to visit depending on what i’d be interested in such as pubs with traditional Irish music and place open late night. My room was surprisingly on the ground floor which actually provided a nice view of the bridge and the river flowing by the Spanish arch. The room also had high ceilings, a security safe and was clean with all the toiletries needed. I recommend this hotel as it’s location is within walking distance to the train and bus depot, and you can literally step outside and be a 5 second walk from the popular Quay street with lovely buskers, great food and vibrant pubs. Thank you again to the staff at the Leonardo, you were all great and I had a wonderful time in your city.

Lovely family run hotel with wonderful views and high quality cuisine. Surrounding area is beautiful. Recommend.

There were significant renovations happening around our rooms. Construction spaces were wide open and there was a lot of construction dust/dirt visible on walls and baseboards.

We stayed at The Killarney Park for three of our ten nights in the southwest of Ireland and wish we could have stayed there all ten! The hotel was superb in luxury, customer service, and attention to detail. From bath salts for the claw-footed tub to a welcome note and snack from the management, the staff went out of their way to give us the vacation of a lifetime. The hotel is steps from the most beautiful park we've ever walked (Killarney House and Gardens) and is across the street from shops and restaurants. The food is flavorful, and they did an excellent job ensuring that my gluten-free requirements were met. Neither of us wanted to leave! Our next trip to Ireland we will stay here!

Loved this hotel! It was smaller, which made check in and parking super easy. Our hotel room was exceptional, clean and spacious. The bar/restaurant connected was slightly below average. My wife ordered a wine & the wine glass had bright lip stick imprints all over the top of the rim. When we mentioned it to the bartender, he poured the glass in a new (clean) one. The bartender had a difficult time making a mixed drink on their menu and had the attitude that he didn’t want to be there, or didn’t want us there. We had a single drink & avoided ordering any food or anything else.
