Top Grattan Beach Hotel Reviews

Maldron Hotel Sandy Road Galway

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely welcome, very clean room , free parking and a convenient 15mn walk to Galway city. Ideal"

The Galmont

10/10 Excellent

"Great property, lovely staff, delicious breakfast. Parking was very convenient - underground parking lot with elevator to reach the lobby, take your ticket to reception for validation to receive the parking discount. Something to keep in mind: this is a large property - we had to walk down several long hallways and take 2 elevators to reach our room. If that's an issue for you, give reception a heads up for room accommodation preferences."
