Flannery's Hotel Galway

Flannery's Hotel Galway

8/10 Good
"The rooms were a nice size and bed/pillows were relatively decent. The room had a Nespresso coffeemaker and pods which was nice to have but ours didn't seem to work unfortunately. The breakfast overall we didn't find was worthwhile but they have a large restaurant/bar with lots of seating options which others seemed to enjoy. Parking available but high demand. Honestly having a view of the parking lot provided a lot of entertainment overall given the poor parking jobs and maneuvering required to get in and out. Not much seemed walkable from this location but super close to a bus stop for a short transit ride into town if you don't want to drive ."
