Great location, able to walk easily to all the sights. Room was big, clean, just a bit stuffy/warm. Otherwise it was a great stay! Everyone was friendly and helpful. Also had parking on site which was a plus!

Loved the Hotel. Great staff. Restored older property. Quaint. Location was within easy walking distance of most areas, but without super congestion. Fabulous breakfast. Parking was a plus. Only minus was that our room had no air conditioning.

6/10

Condition of hotel was so-so. Hallway carpets are worn. Room carpets were stained and should be replaced. Rooms were small considering it is a small city and the cost. It is an older hotel with character but could use some refreshing. Toilet did not work when we arrived but was fixed within an hour or so. Service was fine

Excellent stay - would recommend to anyone. Hotel was nicely decorated, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent - buffet of cold options and hot breakfast choice cooked to order. Food was delicious. Parking is very limited, had to double park cars but attendant responded promptly to move them and it wasn’t an issue. We easily walked into Eyre Square, Latin Quarter etc and back. We stayed a second night in Galway later in our trip pre booked at a different hotel - wish we had come back to the Western.

2-night trip

4/10

Overall, our stay was good, but the price doesn’t really match the facilities or room quality - it felt more like an average hotel you might find elsewhere. The staff at reception weren’t particularly welcoming, which stood out given the hotel’s high price and rating. In the room, we could hear noise from outside, something that sounded like a hand dryer, as well as from neighboring rooms, so the soundproofing wasn’t great. There was also a door near our room that made a loud noise every time someone used it. The carpet wasn’t very clean either, not because it wasn’t cleaned properly, but there were some noticeable stains that seemed to be permanent. The location is excellent - just a minute away from Eyre Square and the train station. The city itself is lovely.
