Top St. Francis Abbey Hotel Reviews

The Galmont

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel and a good location. The only thing I really don't like was the shower was not very good. It was very short. The water pressure was low and the glass partition to block the water was not very long and so the bathroom got all wet."

The Lane - Boutique Residence

8/10 Good

"Rooms are small but well laid out. Staff went above and beyond, printing an item we needed, and letting us use the staff microwave."

Leonardo Hotel Galway

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and great location."

The Snug Townhouse

10/10 Excellent

"Room was small but absolutely perfect for three nights. You simply cannot get a better location to be right in the heart of the Latin quarter. Yes it can be a little loud, but we knew that by reading reviews beforehand and they also gave us earplugs. If you’re a light sleeper this isn’t the place for you maybe, but the location is absolutely perfection and the staff was amazing. Will absolutely always choose this place when in Galway"

Eyre Square Townhouse

"Parking wasn’t an issue with me because we were using public transit. Close proximity to the bus/train station was convenient."

Victoria Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was lovely!"

Maldron Hotel Sandy Road Galway

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was clean, and the staff was friendly. Our room was spacious and clean. The bed was firm. We had waters, tea and biscuits waiting for us in the room. The towels were luxurious. We would definitely stay here again."

The Residence Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic hotel in an amazing location! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the bed was super comfortable, and both the room and bathroom were spacious. I’d recommend requesting a room on a higher floor if you prefer a quieter stay. Overall, a great experience and I’d happily stay here again!"

The Western Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was extremely kind and accommodating. Was in a great location to walk to everything, they also include parking which is great if you are driving. The rooms were very well maintained, I would stay here agin."
