Hotels near Funfair, Galway

The hostel was easy to spot on the corner of the Square when i got off the bus at the station and it was a warm welcome and efficient check in to a clean and airy room with a view onto the corner of Ayre Square. The beds were comfy enough and the bathrooms were clean. I appreciated the breakfast, which was simple but ample, and with a slight local twist. The atmosphere was good in the hostel throughout my 3 days there, and this is in part due to work of the staff. I'd particularly like to mention Tom, who was always friendly and provided good tips and suggestions when asked. The only drawback would come if you are a light sleeper. It's in a great location but remember it's a hostel in Galway right above a bar. It does get quiet for a few hours before daybreak at least. I did feel tired after 3 nights. I would go back though, but maybe for one or two night next time!

We stayed at Hyde hotel, in Galway, and realized that it was another one of those great location hotels. It’s walking distance from Ceannt Train station which was great for us since this was our first trip. It was nice not to roll our luggage across the whole city just to get to our place. It seems like it's in the quieter part of town even though there's a few bars in the area. If you walked down passed Eyre Square on William St. towards the latin quarter its very lively but not everyone may be into that while they're trying to sleep. Upon arrival, since we were early, the hotel allowed us to leave our luggages there while we took a walk around town. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. One time, on our way back from an outing, we realized that we ran out of their complimentary coffee/milk/sugar. We went to the front desk and asked for them and within minutes the same desk attendant went to our room and personally delivered them to us. Our room had an enclosed patio, covered in tropical foliage (obviously not real) that brought in a cozy vibe. I don't believe that they have air condition, we didn't have any in our room. But, open the glass sliding door and bring in the fresh air, again this is Ireland and AC wasn't a big deal to us. The weather in Galway was sunny all week but it wasn't crazy warm that we needed air condition like in the states. By the way, we stayed on the second floor which was convenient if we wanted to take the stairs instead of the elevator. They have a nice restaurant that was also recommended by our tour bus driver. We also ended up booking a tour, Kylemore Abbey and Leenane, and the tour meetup was at our hotel, perfect!! This is a great hotel to stay in, there's a couple of stores across the street to stock up on essentials that you may need. We will definitely stay in this hotel again.

Nice hotel. We had a family room which was grand for 2 adults and 2 kids. Plenty of space. The rooms though are a little old and run down. Location is fine, less than 5 mins from Eyre square. Breakfast was good and the staff were very nice. As I mentioned the hotel rooms need an update.

The deciding factor in choosing this hotel is free parking. Facts have proved to be very wise. What is surprising is that the hotel facilities are very sophisticated and the breakfast is delicious, especially the smoked salmon. About 30 minutes walk to the town, the hotel reception lady is beautiful and enthusiastic, and helped us book a 2017 Michelin restaurant to eat raw oysters. It was great, and it would be difficult to eat without a reservation.

We were there for 2 nights. Lovely staff, friendly and seemed happy going about their work. The only negative comment I can make is that the walk from the lift to my room was very dated and dark. The room itself had everything we needed and was clean. Comfortable beds and pillows. I would stay at this hotel again.

We waited here in the past & we were very happy with the hotel but this time it disappointing. It was understaffed & the room we got was tiny for a family, you could hardly move in it!! Outside, the tables had empty bottles & glasses that were never collected while we were there & we were sitting over two hours. We waited a long time to get served food in the bar area & we had reserved our booking. The bedroom had no air con & it was very warm to sleep in. The pool was lovely & was the highlight! After what we paid for the room I expected more! If we paid less then fair enough, but our room was nearly €240 for one night which is a lot for what we got. Wouldn’t wait here again unless we got it cheaper or the room was alot better.

Great Hotel. Wondeful staff at every level...some lazy but everyone is human. Very responsive to guest needs and requests. Food is excellent in all areas especially breakfast. Receptionists are beautiful, friendly, and helpful with real Galway accents and welcome..not the fake programmed accents common in other places. This hotel keeps up consistent standards over my many visits.

Very convenient, clean, good service

It was a hotel I stayed to go to Galway. The traditional Irish roof houses were also nearby, so the atmosphere was different. Breakfast included in the hotel is not young. I'm not sure if I'm going to be in Ireland.
