Top Grattan Beach Hotel Reviews

Galway Bay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean a s comfortable but a bit warm. We were unable to control the thermostat but it was quickly remedied by opening a window. Breakfast was delicious."

Leonardo Hotel Galway

10/10 Excellent

"The Leonardo is a definite step up from the Jury Inn that was here before. We chose it due to its location at an end of the pedestrian street. Breakfast buffet was lovely. The shower worked well, and after flying into Dublin, then driving to Galway, we were ready for a bed and a nap. Everything was fine. The price is high compared to the Jury before, but you can’t beat the location. Also, with the parking garage next door, the hotel validated our parking ticket so it was 12 euros instead of 20 euros. Of course my husband wanted to wander around some more, so we had an extra 6 euros to pay when we left."

The Residence Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This boutique hotel is in a wonderful location, looking down on bustling Quay St. Our room was well appointed, with a unique and tasteful design. Staff was very helpful. We felt like we were in the true heart of Galway, with dining, shopping, and attractions all right below our room. We really loved our stay and wish we could have been there for more than 2 nights."

The Ardilaun Hotel

8/10 Good

"Clean room Wonderful breakfast"

The Galmont

10/10 Excellent

"Great property, lovely staff, delicious breakfast. Parking was very convenient - underground parking lot with elevator to reach the lobby, take your ticket to reception for validation to receive the parking discount. Something to keep in mind: this is a large property - we had to walk down several long hallways and take 2 elevators to reach our room. If that's an issue for you, give reception a heads up for room accommodation preferences."

Shoreline Apartments

8/10 Good

"The location was perfect and the property was clean"

Clybaun Hotel Galway

She made our stay much better & always there to help out."
