4 Stars Hotels in County Galway, Ireland

Perfect Central Hotel 17 of us, yes Seventeen went for a three night stay at Jurys Inn this past weekend. Amazing service. Staff are so welcoming and under pressure as such a busy place. Nothing was too much trouble. Sorry we don't have his name, but a very tall man from California served the majority of us on arrival and was delightful. Explained that our rooms would not be cleaned daily as there was a staff shortage. None of us were concerned about this and all got daily clean towels and loo roll. Breakfast is very good for those who enjoy a cooked breakfast, which we all did. As we were all from UK €14.00 is expensive for a breakfast but it's certainly cheaper than elsewhere as we experienced by searching for somewhere else on our second day. We went in the peak time of an Oyster festival and agreed we would all return when it's less busy at the hotel and possibly cheaper. Thank you Jurys Inn for the fans for the rooms too.

This is a wonderful Hotel. We are getting married and had our reception dinner there as well as put family up there for the night. The service, staff, food and facilities were great. Will most certainly recommend this place to anyone.

The Dean Hotel is a boutique hotel just off Eyre Square in Galway. It's only a 5-7 minute walk from the pubs and shops in downtown Galway. The staff is friendly and accommodating. You have a choice of two restaurants. Elephant and Castle is on the ground floor and from Sophie's on the top floor you can see downtown Galway and the bay. The rooms are cheerful, comfortable and ours had a turntable with a couple of LPs. There were a few more LPs in the lobby. The outdoor pool is heated and was very popular during our stay.

A very overdue review but didn’t want to not leave it. Had a lovely stay here in May. Staff were so kind and helpful. Room much bigger than expected (family room) and very quiet – even when we saw a raucous looking hen night setting up and then didn’t hear a squeak from it all night. Lovely pool and whilst there were lessons going on we still had ample space to swim and change. Really enjoyed our stay and felt it was well priced for the standard. Only con is that the buses aren’t as regular as hoped especially through the weekend so we had to take more taxis as expected as town was a hefty walk away (and hire car prices seem to have gone crazy in Ireland!). But will come back for sure. Thank you!

Breakfast line up, buffet, line up for a few minutes, some food lined up after entering ~ experience is not good. The location and surroundings are beautiful and not to be said. There is free parking.

The deciding factor in choosing this hotel is free parking. Facts have proved to be very wise. What is surprising is that the hotel facilities are very sophisticated and the breakfast is delicious, especially the smoked salmon. About 30 minutes walk to the town, the hotel reception lady is beautiful and enthusiastic, and helped us book a 2017 Michelin restaurant to eat raw oysters. It was great, and it would be difficult to eat without a reservation.

Located just infront of the beach. This hotel has a fitness centre and the room was spacious and clean. There were ample of parking lots too.

Very convenient, clean, good service

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.

What a lovely location, a gorgeous hotel and the swimming pool was great with the added bonus of an outside hot tub overlooking the sea. My room was 631 with a large king bed, desks, adequate bathroom with bath and shower, seats with table, desk and TV and all the usual facilities in a hotel room. No sockets by the bed though which is something all hotels need to have now but that was the only criticism of the room. Staff where lovely, helpful and friendly although I give 4 stars as check-in didnt happen for 10 minutes due to no staff being at the reception, no idea why but it got sorted OK. The hotel is clean, the room was clean, well presented and very welcoming. I had breakfast which was the normal cooked breakfast buffet, toasts, pancakes, breads, cereals, tea or coffee, juices with plenty of seating options and a view of the sea. The staff were great, the food was good and the atmosphere relaxed. The view gives you a great start to the day. I used the pool which was great. Some families there with kids, a swimming lane, working steam room, sauna and heated jacuzzi. The outside hottub is amazing. It is a must do at this hotel. It was raiing on my stay so the outside tennis court and kids play area werent being used but its worth a mention that they have these. Location feels remote but its only 5-10 minutes from Salthill and Galway by car. There is a petrol station beside the hotel on the main road and a small village. I guess you access the hotel by car, taxi or bus.

Went to the Cliffs of Moher for one night. The room was okay. The breakfast was very carefully prepared and delicious. I ordered the egg pancakes and salmon Benedict. It was definitely the highlight.

I really wanted to rate this hotel a little higher, perhaps 3.5 stars. The PROS: 1. Great location, not far from the bus and train stations and an easy walk to restaurants, shops, and pubs. 2. The hotel itself has a nice pub; a great place to stop in for a drink or snack, with an Irish band certain days of the week. A shout out to Zed and Tina at the bar. 3. Our room was spacious and clean. CONS: 1. The hotel is a little worn around the edges, and the beds and pillows were not all that comfortable for us. I heard that renovations are in the works to expand the reception area and hopefully the rooms will be renovated as well. 2. Housekeeping was inconsistent. One day we did not get new coffee packets and cream; another day the dirty glasses and coffee cups were not taken away and replaced by new ones. We realize that these things happen, but when we took our dirty dishes to reception there was no apology or offer to fix the problem and in fact we were given a lame excuse along the lines of ‘maybe housekeeping thought we wanted to keep the used cups” (with dried coffe in them?) and we were told to carry our dirty cups and glasses to the bar and get new ones from them ourselves. In fact, the hotel seemed to be staffed mainly with young inexperienced people who definitely could use more training in the area of customer service. We had some other issues with service and for this reason the rating cannot be a 4. I’m not sure I would stay again, unless changes are made.

Saoirse was so friendly, smiley and kind and a great way to start our breakfast experience, Colin was amazing and couldn’t do enough for us he was so helpful, friendly, on the ball! He was so good to us, as was Sean too! The staff are phenomenal and an absolute credit to the breakfast, professional and friendly at all times! Will deffo be back again to see them :)
