Our family of 4 got upgraded from a quad room to an apartment in their property close by. We were there for only one night, but it was a stroke of luck. Spacious with 2 bedrooms, showers with plenty of hot water, just what the four of us needed. Full Irish breakfast was included in the hotel (apartments don't normally... More

The Western Apartments are in an ideal situation for exploring Galway city as they are very central. The only problem is that they are starting to show signs of "wear and tear" with window blinds being broken and dusty. On arrival we discovered that there was no dishwasher and lack of coat hangers but when I visited the front desk... More

Had dinner here again on Saturday evening - this time with Junior in toe. Hubbie had the soup, I had chowder (devine) and junior had garlic bread - all clean plates! We had a voucher for steak mains - mine was slightly less well cooked than I would have liked but still good. It was served with home fries, onion... More

Great little place to stay which is within walking distance to everything. Price is a little high, but includes an excellent full cooked breakfast and free although spotty WiFi. The hotel's bar is worth checking out on Thursday nights whether you are staying here or not as a dozen of the local musicians working the bar district come play together... More

I loved this hotel, It felt like an old world hotel with its period features but didn't suffer from feeling old or stuffy as some old world hotels do. Instead it felt more like a new hotel with a sole. The staff was so helpful and welcoming, our room felt fresh and comfortable. We only stayed one night but I... More

Great place to stay in Galway. We were able to get a room for 4 that was a good size and very clean. The staff was great and very helpful. We were able to walk to all the places we wanted to go. I would definitely stay here again.

Excellent location. Easy to walk to all areas of interest, yet not in the middle of things so noise on the weekend was not a problem! My husband and I got lucky and received a free upgrade to one of the Western's apartments. We stayed in a 1 bedroom apartment for 3 nights. The location was great with an outdoor... More
