"Highly recommend! This property is in a great location! Walkable to the beach and to the town center of Galway. It has everything you need including a washer and dryer, hairdryer, iron and ironing board, supply of towels and soaps and shampoos. The kitchen is well stocked and is perfect for making a meal in for a night. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This was the best property we visited by far!"

"Went on a trip with my four siblings and had an amazing time here. Plenty of room in the bedrooms and a very nice common area with an unbelievable deck outside. Will definitely return in the summer to take advantage of the deck more. The views are stunning. You can see both the sunrise and the sunset over Galway Bay."

The property is responsive and very accommodating in facilitating to our needs. It’s important for us travelling with a young child. The apartment is well equipped and maintained. The instruction we’ve got for self check in is clear. The location is convenient and has a great view.

We chose the ardilaun Initially because of its price, compared to other 4 star hotels it was good value for money. It's a 30 minute walk to the city centre which is OK if the weather is good. 10 euro for the taxi back (rip off) The ardilaun has beautiful gardens and plenty of free parking. The hotel itself although a bit dated has a spacious lobby. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The leisure facilities were excellent with good size pool, steam room and jacuzzi. One gripe I had was the...

The Hawthorn is a destination hotel, gorgeous decor, fantastic staff, super location, drop your bags, breathe and relax. Plenty to do on the grounds with a gorgeous golf course and fantastic walks, or indulge in the spa. Sure sign of a great hotel is when you don’t want to leave and I didn’t!

Our thanks to Ann and Michael for their warm hospitality and welcome. Our stay was most pleasant and relaxing. The surroundings and cuisine added to our considerable enjoyment and we look forward to our next visit to Galway as we'll have no need to search for accommodation ....Oranhill Lodge will be our destination.

Overall a great experience,, only disappointment was when I checked out I settled my bill and then another €18.00 was taken from my account
It may not seem like much but that incident casts a shadow of doubt on the experience and I’m afraid I wouldn’t be comfortable returning,, it’s a pity but in today’s technology mistakes like that shouldn’t occur
