"Looking forward to our next stay at this sophisticated but comfortable hotel in the heart of Galway!"

9.0

We loved the Western Hotel. It felt both traditional and modern. The rooms were very comfortable and large. The lobby was so lovely and inviting. We enjoyed both breakfast as well as cocktails at the bar. All staff were so accommodating and kind. The location was great. A quick walk to Eyre Sq but enough distance that it was quiet. I would absolutely stay at the Western next time I’m in Galway.

"Loud and tiny"

4.0

Good location, nice reception, clean.

Street noise was ridiculous, kept awake very late. Tiny room, tiny bed, tiny bathroom and shower. No air conditioner- could not leave window open due to street noise although window did nothing to help with sound. Car park hard to find and tiny.

"A comfortable hotel for enjoying Galway."

9.0

The hotel was comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The location is a nice balance between being close to the walking streets, but also removed enough to drive to easily. Being able to park a vehicle was an important amenity.

The only slight discomfort was the distance between the toilet and the shower in our bathroom. There was very little legroom. It was an unfortunate design decision.
