Eyre Square Hotel

Eyre Square Hotel

8/10 Good
"The staff were excellent! Very helpful with any questions we had. Location is perfect for walking around town and to meet up with any tours. Walls are thin so it can be noisy. There’s no TV service. A few local channels, that’s it."

Leonardo Hotel Galway

Leonardo Hotel Galway

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed for two nights. The location is perfect to be in all of the action. The Spanish Arch is literally across the street. And it nestles along the river. The attached parking garage is ideal and the validate for a discount. (Two nights was 24 EU). The room was comfortable and the A/C much appreciated. The front desk was super helpful. We did the breakfast the morning we checked out. It was okay. Nothing too exciting. But, if you are wanted the authentic full Irish breakfast then here you go! We really appreciated being in the perfect spot to walk around and enjoy all the pubs and restaurants. Would definitely stay here on our next Galway visit!!"
