Clybaun Hotel Galway

Clybaun Hotel Galway

10/10 Excellent
"We had a fantastic stay at Clybaun Hotel in Galway! From arrival the staff were so welcoming. Check-in was quick and smooth, and the little touch of receptionist giving the children ice cream was such a lovely surprise — they loved it! Clean, spacious rooms very comfortable. Bed was great. We asked for restaurant recommendations for dinner and good information was passed to us. We didn't have breakfast. The hotel is about 10-15 minutes drive to Galway city center, with parking on site which made it really convenient for us. No complaints at all. Staff were friendly throughout and went above and beyond. Amazing value and we would 100% stay again and recommend to families."
