We were visiting Galway for one night only. To explore as much of the city as possible, a central location of a hotel was critical to us. The Western Hotel really meets this requirement. In addition, they rate was very reasonable and included breakfast and car parking (both are a big plus).Our room was fairly ordinary but good enough for a short stay. « less

Lovely rooms, although the ones we stayed in were overlooking the street and could have done with either blinds or nets as he windows were huge so no running round in your undies. Having said that the hotel was clean the the breakfast was full irish or you could pick and choose, as much toast and cake or tea and coffee as you would like. There is a lift. The only thing we had a problem with was the free Wifi which was not very good. The hotel is within walking distance of Temple Bar. « less

Great price, great location to Eyre Square and bus stations, clean rooms, great food, great pub, and a courteous staff. I probably won't stay anywhere else if I return to Galway. There were a few places closer, but their prices were much higher. The staff tried to get us into a room early as our travel plans had us arrive at 9 in the morning, but with no rooms available they stored our luggage until check-in later. « less
