Harbour Hotel

8/10 Good

"O"

The Dean Galway

10/10 Excellent

"What a beautiful space with a fantastic bathroom! The best shower of our trip. Need a washcloth? Just ask. We also ate at the coffee shop, Sidekick and Sophie’s, and the food was grand, especially the veggie burger and chips at Sidekick. Wonderful pool, too. The location is great, close enough to everything but way from the noise. Highly recommended!"

"Clean. Staff were kind and helpful. WiFi worked. Did not eat here. When you park your car be sure to get all the digits correctly - we got clamped b/c we didn't know the 1 was not a capital "i"...different fonts screwed us as we didn't know the first 3 numbers/alpha in Ireland license plates are always numbers! Lesson learned!"
