Fantastic hotel in an amazing location! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the bed was super comfortable, and both the room and bathroom were spacious. I’d recommend requesting a room on a higher floor if you prefer a quieter stay. Overall, a great experience and I’d happily stay here again!
This boutique hotel is in a wonderful location, looking down on bustling Quay St. Our room was well appointed, with a unique and tasteful design. Staff was very helpful. We felt like we were in the true heart of Galway, with dining, shopping, and attractions all right below our room. We really loved our stay and wish we could have been there for more than 2 nights.
The location is great and the bathrooms and rooms r clean. The location is right above a couple of bars so does stay loud till about midnight to 1-2am.
We loved our stay at The Residence Inn. The room was perfect. There was food right next door. It was quiet at night, even though we were over a pub. The mural on the wall was strange but definitely a unique room! Easy access to the village, shopping and public transportation. Paid parking was right next door.
We would stay again!
Right from the start, we had a great experience!
Our room wasn’t ready but the host held our bags and then gave us a coupon for a free beer at Fitzsimmons! Amazing!
Location was PERFECT! Right where the action is! But be warned, the mornings on Quay Street and busy and loud!!!!! Street cleaning and vendors are out early to the pubs and shops!
The room was very clean and was just big enough for 3 men plus luggage!
Highly recommend!
Top location. Desk staff were excellent. Small very clean room that we enjoyed. There is no A/C and we got a bit warm, but that’s a real 1st world problem.
Great location in the Latin Quarter central to pretty much everything. Joshua at the front desk was especially helpful with directions and with helping me uncork a wine bottle! The best customer service ever :)
Great location. Parking next door at Spanish Arch parking garage.., turns were tight to get up to upper levels. Short walk to hotel. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Windows worked great to block the noise from the street…. But the bars below and across the street were lots of fun. The gin bar at The Front Door around the corner was fabulous. Loved our stay in Galway.
The hotel is in a great location. Room was nice and bed was comfortable. We asked for mini fridge which helped too. Others have complained in reviews about the noise, but it wasn't any worse than other cities we've stayed in. We put the Dyson fan they provided on high to help with the noise. Only issue we had was with the room service. They skipped us 1 day even though we had the sign on the door requesting room service. Then the next day they selectively made up the room, meaning they didn't replace the empty soap caniste or provide more toilet paper, and left an empty bottle in the middle of the foor. The front desk attendant was very responsive and ran down to get us the items right away. Overall it was a great stay and I would recommend the hotel to anyone staying in Galway
