Eyre Square Hotel

Eyre Square Hotel

8/10 Good
"Rooms were quite hot. Opening the window at night is possible on the upper floors but uncomfortable on the ground floor. It is a wonderful historic property. Staff was attentive and polite."

"Typical hotel with amenities but pool is a bit small for a hotel like Clayton and can be crowded and no room to swim you will end up just standing in water."

Nox Hotel

Nox Hotel

8/10 Good
"Convenient location for hire car. Galway is not a car friendly city, so having this place was very useful. Will cost 10 EUR each way in a taxi (organised by the hotel) to get to the centre, or a 25 min walk. Hotel breakfast is excellent, and evening food & drink well priced. You will not go hungry! Would recommend."
