Harbour Hotel

Harbour Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The Harbour Hotel’s name accurately describes its location. But none of the rooms appear to have water views! The great majority either face a road or an adjoining apartment house. The location is on Galway’s harbor and is also a few minutes’ walk from the train station and the center city shopping and dining district. The room was comfortable and quiet, and the amenities were as expected for the hotel class. There were no problems during our stay, and the staff was especially helpful when we discovered 90 minutes after departure we had inadvertently left some medications in our room. Overall rating: 4.51/5 ."
