Leonardo Hotel Galway

10/10 Excellent

"They were great trying to help make us comfortable. The air conditioning unit was broken and it was extremely warm the week we were on site."

The Snug Townhouse

8/10 Good

"Room was clean. Fresh towels every day. Great location. Met all of our needs. Not a great choice if you need a lot of space. We were able to slide our luggage under the bed, which made it very workable. All in all we had a great stay."

Eyre Square Townhouse

10/10 Excellent

"The room was lovely, with a comfortable bed and great shower. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location is close to restraunts, coffee shops, and transport. We really enjoyed our stay."

7 Cross Street

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely old building with Latin Quarter literally on the doorstep. We had some reservations about noise and room size, having checked the usual review sites. But our room (overlooking Cross Street) had secondary glazing so the complimentary earplugs were not needed. The room was compact, but absolutely fine (my husband is 6'3" and he had no complaints), and was equipped with everything needed. It was thoughtfully laid out, spotlessly clean, comfortable, and attractively decorated. The hosts were friendly and helpful and the continental breakfast buffet was varied and more than sufficient to fuel us up for the day. There was a dear little book on each breakfast table, with a history of the building, which was a lovely touch. A few more plug sockets would be useful, but I guess our medieval ancestors didn't have so many devices to charge :) Would not hesitate to stay again."
