Top Grattan Beach Hotel Reviews

The Galmont

10/10 Excellent

"Great location for easy access to Latin Quarter. Buffet breakfast was delicious—options for all. Parking in the garage next door was easy access to hotel and a discounted rate."

The Residence Hotel

8/10 Good

"The headboard in our room was kind of beat up."

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 Ardilaun Hotel

8/10 Good

"Clean room Wonderful breakfast"

Shoreline Apartments

8/10 Good

"The location was perfect and the property was clean"

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