Top Shop Street Hotel Reviews

The Snug Townhouse

10/10 Excellent

"Well, they weren’t lying about things being ‘snug’. They were completely honest and upfront about how small the room was, and we knew that it would be tight, and we were willing to do that for the convenience of being right in the middle of the action, but it turns out that I may be just a bit too old to attempt a pretzel climb over my husband in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and not having anywhere to sit other than a two-foot bit near the foot of the bed is a bit rough. Again, not their fault, and the place itself is clean, secure, and well located."

Skeffington ArmsHotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, staff were great, owner was amazing."

The Galmont

8/10 Good

"Room was nice and tidy. Had an issue with the shower head. It kept moving and spraying all over. Soaked the floor. There were some signs of mold in the grout, but overall good for one night. Breakfast was quite good with lots of choices."

Victoria Hotel

10/10 Excellent

Radisson RED Galway

Eyre Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

Maldron Hotel Sandy Road Galway

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was very good, about a 25 minute walk into Eyre Square. Room was so spacious & beds were comfy."

The G Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay at the G. The hotel is just outside of the city center, close enough to walk, easy enough to grab a car and be there in a few minutes. There is a small shopping center directly behind the hotel if you need anything. The staff is incredibly helpful with anything you need or just to have a chat. The lounge and restaurant are beautifully appointed with nice views of lake. The food is some of the best food we ate in London and Ireland. The rooms are spacious and clean and have great space to hang your clothes and put everything away so you feel at home. We would highly recommend staying at the G while in Galway!"
