Hotele niedaleko Athenry Castle, Athenry

Traveled with a tour group who arranged our accommodations. My first impression was that this was student housing. There were signs with a dress code specifying the shoes are required….also saw a lot of university age people coming in and out. Seem to have a variety of room types, some with kitchenettes. We had a twin room which was comfortable but a bit worn out. The dining was nice. Since we had just one night we were happy with the travel stop.

Everything was great in this hotel, from check in to check out. Friendly staff, comfortable warm quiet bedroom and great leisure centre. Breakfast was great, lovely fresh strawberries and raspberries! Brown sliced bread would be welcome though. I would recommend this hotel and I will be back.

We stayed at Hyde hotel, in Galway, and realized that it was another one of those great location hotels. It’s walking distance from Ceannt Train station which was great for us since this was our first trip. It was nice not to roll our luggage across the whole city just to get to our place. It seems like it's in the quieter part of town even though there's a few bars in the area. If you walked down passed Eyre Square on William St. towards the latin quarter its very lively but not everyone may be into that while they're trying to sleep. Upon arrival, since we were early, the hotel allowed us to leave our luggages there while we took a walk around town. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. One time, on our way back from an outing, we realized that we ran out of their complimentary coffee/milk/sugar. We went to the front desk and asked for them and within minutes the same desk attendant went to our room and personally delivered them to us. Our room had an enclosed patio, covered in tropical foliage (obviously not real) that brought in a cozy vibe. I don't believe that they have air condition, we didn't have any in our room. But, open the glass sliding door and bring in the fresh air, again this is Ireland and AC wasn't a big deal to us. The weather in Galway was sunny all week but it wasn't crazy warm that we needed air condition like in the states. By the way, we stayed on the second floor which was convenient if we wanted to take the stairs instead of the elevator. They have a nice restaurant that was also recommended by our tour bus driver. We also ended up booking a tour, Kylemore Abbey and Leenane, and the tour meetup was at our hotel, perfect!! This is a great hotel to stay in, there's a couple of stores across the street to stock up on essentials that you may need. We will definitely stay in this hotel again.

Very convenient, clean, good service

There were some bad reviews of this accommodation that were older, so we were a little reluctant but gave this place a chance during a recent 3 night stay in Galway. We had a wonderful experience. Al is the new owner as of a few months ago, and has been sprucing the place up. It could still use a few new tiles in places, and is somewhat dated, but if you aren't fussy about such things it is easily overlooked. We had a reasonably priced twin room that was clean, quiet and comfortable. No signs of previous issues such as mold or surly staff. Al is friendly and helpful, puts out a fantastic breakfast spread (full complimentary continental with fruit, yogurts, Irish brown bread, several cereals, etc) as well as a menu of cooked items. The walk into the pedestrian zone in the heart of Galway is 10 minutes. There was a free parking space for our rental car right in front.

Everything was 100% but for the price of €305, and with breakfast not included I found this very expensive.
