Leonardo Hotel Galway

Leonardo Hotel Galway

10/10 Excellent
"Right by the water and the pubs. Really good area. We saw dolphins in the harbor. The only concern is how tight the parking garage is. The smallest turns we've ever seen and we've driven around Europe. Everyone had to back up several times to make the turns around the corners. Nice breakfast."
