10/10 Excellent
"We had a lovely stay at the Harbour Hotel in Galway! It's in a quiet area by the water but a super short walk to the center of town and everything you'd want to do. The room was clean and well-maintained, and the bed was one of the comfiest and largest I've ever had in a European hotel room. My husband and I have a king sized bed at home in the US, so we usually expect a downgrade when we travel (which is fine), but not in this case! Happily surprised!"

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel was a great option to stay at outside of downtown Galway. It was along the water and we walked the 1 .6 miles to town and back without an issue. We attended Trad on the Prom which is right next door. Bed was comfortable, room was large, good water pressure. Only complaint is I prefer a softer pillow. We are at the restaurant for breakfast and dinner. Both were very good. I would definitely stay here again."
