The hotel is in the best location. There is no spa. It closed after COVID. Breakfast was great. I needed to upgrade my room to the best available when I got there my original room mid-tier was too small and outdated.

The hotel’s location is perfect for seeing the heart of Galway and close to all transportation options. It’s just steps from the train station. The rooms are somewhat dated and could use an update — primarily the bathroom. The staff is very friendly and check in was quick. I appreciate their kindness in merging two separate reservations I’d made (for consecutive nights) and keeping us the same room while also upgrading our stay to include breakfast. The view from our room overlooking the park was beautiful. But what excelled was the restaurant. Breakfast was wonderful every morning. Great food options, all fresh, and the staff is working non-stop to make sure you have everything you need. I also had dinner one night at the restaurant and thought it was amazing. The dessert was one of the best I might have ever had. I would stay here again without hesitation for the location and the dining experience at the hotel.

The Hardiman is excellent location wise as it sits right beside the Galway train station and beside Eyre Square. Staff and cleanliness are exceptional but there are two problems as well. As the hotel is older, there was no soundproofing between rooms. Second, the gym has been out of service for a few years.
