The Nest Boutique Hostel
Street parking only and a bit of a walk. Small but clean room. Breakfast was fine - very little protein options.

Beautiful views. Perfect location. Spotless accommodation. Sean was very detailed when we checked in and was quick to respond to questions. Loved it here!

The Dean Galway
We asked for a double. It was advertised that it was 279 sq ft. The room we are in is not even close to 279 sq ft. We are being charged $400 per night for a room that is not as advertised. Lots of other issues, like a shower that will flood the bathroom if you don’t block the water with your body ...

Leonardo Hotel Galway
The check in counter staff are great and accommodating. The room though is nasty. Carpet stains, ceiling looks like it’s been patched 4 separate ways due to leaks, the walls are stained. I have photos to share. The place is used up. Location is good and that’s probably why people stay there.
