Top Athenry Hotel Reviews

Harbour Hotel

Harbour Hotel

8/10 Good
"Nice hotel in a great location. Rooms comfortable and clean. Staff friendly and helpful. Kitchen closes at 9pm. Didn’t do breakfast but had dinner once. Food is fine but many better options a 5min walk away. $13 EU/day parking onsite but very tight spaces and can fill up, but overflow parking in attached public garage is fine. Just bring your ticket to the hotel desk. A 5min walk to the Aran island ferry terminal. Again, excellent location for walking the Latin Quarter and easy access to everything you need…pubs, restaurants, bakeries, shopping, pharmacy, tourist attractions."

Eyre Square Hotel

Eyre Square Hotel

8/10 Good
"The staff were excellent! Very helpful with any questions we had. Location is perfect for walking around town and to meet up with any tours. Walls are thin so it can be noisy. There’s no TV service. A few local channels, that’s it."

Leonardo Hotel Galway

Leonardo Hotel Galway

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed for two nights. The location is perfect to be in all of the action. The Spanish Arch is literally across the street. And it nestles along the river. The attached parking garage is ideal and the validate for a discount. (Two nights was 24 EU). The room was comfortable and the A/C much appreciated. The front desk was super helpful. We did the breakfast the morning we checked out. It was okay. Nothing too exciting. But, if you are wanted the authentic full Irish breakfast then here you go! We really appreciated being in the perfect spot to walk around and enjoy all the pubs and restaurants. Would definitely stay here on our next Galway visit!!"

Raheen Woods Hotel

Raheen Woods Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel was beautiful. The staff at the front desk was very helpful with checking in and out, she was very pleasant. The staff at the restaurant was very abrupt at night. The breakfast staff was super friendly, and pleasant the meal choices were great, the buffet had a little of everything from cereal, pancakes eggs, yogurt and toppings, and service was prompt. Getting a taxi to train station was quick, and the train is 5 minutes away by taxi. I highly recommend this hotel, and look forward to staying here again."
