Leonardo Hotel Galway

Leonardo Hotel Galway

10/10 Excellent
"Right by the water and the pubs. Really good area. We saw dolphins in the harbor. The only concern is how tight the parking garage is. The smallest turns we've ever seen and we've driven around Europe. Everyone had to back up several times to make the turns around the corners. Nice breakfast."

Clybaun Hotel Galway

Clybaun Hotel Galway

10/10 Excellent
"The Clybaun Hotel is centrally located to enjoy the different neighborhoods of Galway. Great central spot for taking side trips. The room was large, beds were comfortable, and everything from the bathroom to the floors were very clean. Bring your swimsuit and workout clothes as they have a super nice pool and gym on the underground parking floor. They do support the local swim team, but you are well notified of the times they are there and it is easy to work around. They have a delicious breakfast that everyone will enjoy. This hotel also has a restaurant called the Courtyard that you should make a reservation before arriving - check photos to decide if you want in the enclosed courtyard or inside. The restaurant staff was thoughtful, knew the menu, and so good. We were able to make a reservation when we arrived at 6pm for 8:15pm, so it is worth asking. The staff throughout the hotel were professional and went that extra step to ensure our trip was going well. Easy check in and check out. HINT: 1) For Americans driving there - The Clybaun Hotel sign is as visible as the Courtyard sign. My husband and I thought there were two hotels next to each other meaning two parking areas. Nope, that is the Courtyard Restaurant. 2) You can self-park in the open-air parking lot around if the hotel and they have a below ground parking lot for free. For a new driver on the other side of the road, it can be tricky, but nice to have. We definitely enjoyed our stay."

"The staff were excellent and accommodating. We had to switch rooms due to an issue and the staff made the transfer as smooth as possible. This made a world of difference for our stay. I would highly recommend them. The location was perfect as well. We are traveling via train and it's is very walkable."
