The G Hotel and Spa

The G Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent
"The G hotel and spa was an excellent hotel to stay in! From the moment we walked in, we could just tell how clean and well-maintained the property truthfully is. It was so convenient having free parking underneath of the hotel with an elevator that would take you right up to your room. The rooms were spacious, The bed was comfortable and we love that they gave Irish snacks when we walked in. We definitely will be recommending this hotel to friends and will be back!!"

Connemara Coast Hotel

Connemara Coast Hotel

8/10 Good
"There are too many stairs and no elevator. Some rooms do not have AC. The hotel is on Galway Bay and the grounds are beautifully kept with walking trails to the rocky beach. It is about 7 miles from Galway which could be an issue for some without their own transportation. We would stay there again."

Leonardo Hotel Galway

Leonardo Hotel Galway

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed for two nights. The location is perfect to be in all of the action. The Spanish Arch is literally across the street. And it nestles along the river. The attached parking garage is ideal and the validate for a discount. (Two nights was 24 EU). The room was comfortable and the A/C much appreciated. The front desk was super helpful. We did the breakfast the morning we checked out. It was okay. Nothing too exciting. But, if you are wanted the authentic full Irish breakfast then here you go! We really appreciated being in the perfect spot to walk around and enjoy all the pubs and restaurants. Would definitely stay here on our next Galway visit!!"
