"The Harbour Hotel in Galway is extremely well situated. We were able to walk (with luggage) to and from the train station. Also, the walk to the heart of the city is about 5 mins. The room was large, comfortable, and had all the amenities one would expect including a small fridge. My wife and I would stay there again."
