Leonardo Hotel Galway

Leonardo Hotel Galway

10/10 Excellent
"The location was perfect, steps away from the Latin Quarter and the Spanish Arch. The hotel was very safe and offered breakfast as well as a lounge/bar area that served food. There is also a large outdoor area with picnic tables and seating that is next to the river. The staff were very helpful in recommending food options and things to do in town. The rooms were nice, but smaller in the european style. The location is hard to beat, as you're in the middle of everything that downtown has to offer. I was very impressed by this place."

Luxury By The Coast - Sleeps 4

8/10 Good
"The location is fabulous - a quieter section of Salthill but close to the promenade, a local coffee shop and the bus downtown. Highly recommend Blackrock for coffee at the end of the road and Blackrock Cottage down the way a bit for dinner. The flat was fine for the two of us but was a bit tight by American standards. Very clean and Elizabeth was very responsive with our questions. Actually really liked the electric shower as you never run out of hot water. The only issue we had was that the two units on either side of us were under construction and the noise was a bit much. Definitely recommend staying here."
