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 I needed to upgrade my room to the best available when I got there my original room mid-tier was too small and outdated.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.

The Hardiman is a classic full service stay. With a basic opulence yet casual/friendly in nature. Location was the best in the heart of the best activities in Galway. Music/food/drinks/dance all packed into one small area. We also noticed a young vibrancy to Galway but thats because the most major Universities are there and it shows.

Perfect location city center at park. Good breakfast and 2 bars with food as well. Park had Christmas festival during our stay. Facility needed a little repair and internet was not useable. But we had 5g on ATT phones. Minor inconvenience for otherwise perfect stay.

Great location but difficult to access if driving your own car. Parking area is semi-close and the property although historic the rooms need a little refreshing.

The rooms feel very regal, high ceilings with tall velvet curtains and dark wood furniture. It’s close to everything being on Eyre square but not right on a pub strip. We valeted our car with staff to make it easy for us and they were prompt to address us when we pulled up. We had one morning with little hot water but apparently it was a problem that they had that day with their boilers. I’d recommend staying here. Its lovely. Oh yes, the breakfast was included and theres tons of options and a very nicely laid out spread of food.

Great hotel, but one side of the hotel facing the service area is very noisy in the morning when they bring in the beer kegs and supplies.Make sure your room faces the front of the hotel otherwise you will not sleep past 8am.

A wonderful place to stay in Galway! Close proximity to food and shopping, the latin quarter is a close enough walk. Breakfast offerings were just what was needed to fuel up for a long day of sightseeing and shopping. I would love to stay here again!
