The Western Hotel

We enjoyed our staycation in this lovely hotel just a few minutes walk from Eyre square. Great breakfast, clean room with good shower. Heater was manually set in room which we found great as sometimes hotel rooms in general can be too hot at night.... We found that the car park on site is cramped so make sure to allow time for this on departure especially if you are leaving early and were first in for parking. This was not a biggy for us as by the time we picked up rest of shopping (circa 15 to 20 minutes later) our space was cleared for exit by hotel staff.... I would highly recommend for price paid mid week at this hotel with excellent location..

Galway is a beautiful city but small and easily walkable from one end to the other. The Western is located right next to Eyre square, which is the landmark we used navigate around. It's a huge hotel and full of character, in no way at all the type of generic standardised hotel that dominates short city breaks. The bar literally took my breath away, so large and stylish, a great range of beer and local whiskey plus staff that were friendly and knowledgeable PLUS they had a top quality traditional band playing jigs, reels and ballads 2 of the 3 nights we stayed. My daughter and I loved the Western to pieces! We will defo be booking again soon. Great job folks!

The hotel is 3 minutes away from the city center and has a parking lot underneath, which is super useful. The room we got was spacious and the amenities as expected. The stuff was very kind and supportive. The breakfast nook is a bit limited in space and choices, however, you can order a british / irish breakfast a la cart; oddly enough, if you order anything different than a black coffee or tea, you need to pay a supplement. Given that this is a 4* hotel, these types of things should be already included in the package.

The hotel bedroom was very clean and comfortable.

The staff. We had just had a flat tire so I wrote to inform them we may be late. Exhausted on arrival, we were greeted by the front desk person-sorry can’t remember her name- and she was lovely. So empathetic. We were there to celebrate our 25th and entered our room to a beautiful plate of delicious desserts. So thoughtful. Too tired to go out, we went to the pub in the hotel where we met three wonderful people, all ready to converse. They also helped us with dining for our anniversary. So helpful. The valet person was also exceptional. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable.
