The staff were very friendly and it is about a two minute walk from the train station. There are several really good restaurants within about 1 or 2 blocks and a lovely bar and restaurant attached. The rooms are small but clean and comfortable. There is a fan in the room. The reason I downgraded for cleanliness is based on the hallways and stairwells.

This property was so nice to stay in for our short stint in Galway! We loved how close and convenient everything was and it was a stunning location. The only thing that we had issues with was how we could hear everyone and everything happening in the hall outside our room. At one point we could smell food that someone was eating. I know the hotel is going through renovations so hopefully that is thought about when making the changes in the right direction! Other than that everything was beautiful and the staff was sooooo nice and accommodating! Answering any and all questions we had :)

I could not find a better location for the hotel. It is located next door to the train and bus station, one block from my travel agency and 2 blocks from the commerce. The people from the hotel were friendly and help us with directions. The city is amazing and I would love to be able to come back.

I really liked this property. Convenient location. Clean rooms. Great staff. However I wish there was some sort of forewarning that the room I was staying in was right next to a room that was actively being renovated. There was a lot of construction work done right next to the room I was in and disrupted my wifi signal as well. I’m on vacation, I wasn’t expecting to here drilling at 8 AM right next to me.

The front staff were pleasant enough. The hotel and rooms are in need of renovations. The toilet seat was almost falling off. The cupboard hinges were broken and the doors were barely hanging on. The taps were leaky and carpets worn out and need replacing. The cleaning lady sat in a utility closet with door open early in the morning outside our room and talked loudly on her cell phone for about an hour.

We stayed at the Eyre Square Hotel for 3 nights while visiting Galway. The lobby, bar, restaurant are all beautiful and updated. Our room I don't think has been updated in many many years. However, it was fine for our trip and the location I'm sure is what drove the price we paid which came out to be about $260 each night. The location was fantastic as it was close (right next door) to the train station, nearby to pubs, restaurants and central Eyre Square all just steps away. Staff we came across were all very nice and very helpful. We were able to check in a little early but not much. Not a big deal, we dropped our bags off and headed to lunch and a nearby pub until our room was ready. Our room was on the top floor and it overlooked the train station. We did have a view of the water though looking past the station which I really liked. The fan in our room was broken but replaced within minutes of arriving. The room had two beds, one double and one twin bed which worked fine for us and was as we expected. I think for the price this would be a great room if the room had been renovated (carpet and beds replaced). Everything was clean but worn. There is a market across the street for a cheap coffee. We had breakfast in the hotel one morning and it was just okay.

Excellent location with short walk to fantastic restaurants and pubs. Very noisy for a weekend stay outside the hotel. Easy check in with friendly staff. Parking is located off site - short walk away but not part of the hotel. Standard double bed in our room, but there was a lot of room for a larger bed or even a pull out sofa, so not as comfortable as it could be. Bathroom was clean with lots of hot water. Beautiful bar/restaurant attached with excellent evening entertainment. Lovely, but poorly trained, bartender who could not make our drink order.

Was very disappointed as had construction above us with Jackhammers that were so loud I couldn’t hear my own voice. We had ‘red carpet’ rooms that were very hot and the newer area must go to reservations directly thru hotel. Bar next door has live music 7 days a week and our room was directly above them also so couldn’t sleep. Terrible stay….

Breakfast was very slow and almost missed day tour, wasnt able to finish eating, was told by waitress we would be compensated, we were not. We did have an overflow backed up shower plug that was fixed promptly. The front desk staff were helpful and kind.
