Beautiful clean well-located convenient hotel. We had family come into town and meet us at hotel to walk around Galway for the day. There was a cozy room between the restaurant and bar that accommodated our meet up for tea and coffee at the beginning and end of our day.

The Western Hotel was our home for 4 nights while we explored western Ireland. Three Georgian townhouses were combined to create the hotel. Lots of old architectural features were retained. Yes, some of the negative comments posted here are true, especially with heating. Our room had an electric wall heater, that ran on a timer for energy savings. Unfortunately, our first 2 days in Galway were unseasonably chilly and we were given a portable heater for our stay. We did use it at night for part of our stay. There are a number of different room styles, some fancy, some plain. Our room was plain but had plenty of space. Our bathroom was large and spartan, and could have used more shelf area for toiletries, especially near the pedestal sink, and a second towel bar. There is only one elevator, but our wait time was brief. That said, we found many things to like. The hotel is a block off the main square, so it is fairly quiet. The restaurants, pubs and shopping are all within a short walk. The hotel staff is friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and professional. The bar area is very comfortable. The restaurant is an undiscovered gem. In addition to an excellent breakfast (we prepaid), the dinner menu features some Irish traditions that are excellent. The seafood chowder and the Irish stew (the best I ate in Ireland) are my favorites. And, keeping with popular Galway activities, the bar has traditional music and other bands about 5 nights a week, without the crowding of the popular tourist pubs.

Well located close to Eyre Square at the heart of the city with an easy walk down to the Quays. We had no problem with finding the underground garage and used it to park our car during our two day stay. Very friendly staff and an excellent breakfast provided made for an enjoyable stay.

Very contented with our room and service.

Localisation

Les nombreux escaliers pour rentrer et dans l établissement; compliqué avec une poussette.. Pas de machine à café dans la chambre ni de mini frigo.
