Had to switch rooms because original room didn't have any windows. Smell of cigarette smoke despite it being a smoke free building. Limited bathroom amenities.
We loved the Hyde Hotel. Best things: staff at front desk are an absolute pleasure and so kind, location can’t be beaten! Bar is gorgeous and delicious, rooms large and comfortable. Highly recommend; particularly if you come in by train since you’re steps away from the station.
The hotel is 1 block from the train/bus station which makes it very convenient. It is also with in minutes from the main area of Galway, an easy walk to every thing.
