Top Shop Street Hotel Reviews

The Galmont

10/10 Excellent

"Great location for easy access to Latin Quarter. Buffet breakfast was delicious—options for all. Parking in the garage next door was easy access to hotel and a discounted rate."

The Residence Hotel

8/10 Good

"The headboard in our room was kind of beat up."

Skeffington ArmsHotel

10/10 Excellent

"A fantastic location in Galway. Rooms were bright in the decor was unique and fun. Please note this can be a very noisy hotel. We were there on a Tuesday night, which is a popular night for college kids to go out and the bar downstairs fills in young college age adults. Other than the loud music, the location was great. Staff was friendly and would consider staying there again. Chocolates on the pillow!"

The Dean Galway

10/10 Excellent

"Best breakfast in Any hotel chain"

Leonardo Hotel Galway

10/10 Excellent

"The Leonardo is a definite step up from the Jury Inn that was here before. We chose it due to its location at an end of the pedestrian street. Breakfast buffet was lovely. The shower worked well, and after flying into Dublin, then driving to Galway, we were ready for a bed and a nap. Everything was fine. The price is high compared to the Jury before, but you can’t beat the location. Also, with the parking garage next door, the hotel validated our parking ticket so it was 12 euros instead of 20 euros. Of course my husband wanted to wander around some more, so we had an extra 6 euros to pay when we left."

Abbeygate Townhouse

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was different- with no front desk so like a townhouse. Convenient to walk to all of the town! Great Pubs and shopping really walking distance. Room was very nice and not a loud location. Will definitely stay again while in Galway!"

The Lane - Boutique Residence

8/10 Good

"Room was clean and well organized. Location was great. Our room was in the back of the building and very quiet."

The G Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was beautiful! We loved the spa, the drinks, the view and especially the location."

Eyre Square Townhouse

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room"
