Lovely hotel in a great location
Pros:

Fantastic location beside the train station. Quick checkin process & while our room was not ready, our luggage was taken promptly off us & stored for later.
Friendly & efficient staff. We were on the 2d/b/b deal & while a slightly reduced dinner menu choice, the food was of a very high quality. Great breakfasts in the Gaslight Brasserie. As we went early in the week, dinner was served in the McNeill bar downstairs, not the same dining experience that I have experienced before in the lovely Gaslight Brasserie upstairs!
All in all a most enjoyable stay. I would certainly recommend this hotel to others

Lovely Historic Hotel on Eyre Square
Pros:

The Hardiman is a lovely historic hotel next to the Galway rail station. Our room was large, beautiful and well-equipped. Breakfast was generous. We did have to move rooms, however, when our first room overlooked the train station and we could hear the beeping of the bus gate every time it opened (every several minutes). We were upgraded to a lovely suite, so no complaints. If you are noise-sensitive, note that when you make your room selection.

Grand place
Pros:

It was a lovely place. You could see the grandness of it. Loved the lobby and bar areas. The jr. suite we were in was grand. The ceilings were so tall, the windows were stunning. The marble bathroom was very neat. The tub was amazing, so deep. There were parts of the hotel that needs some refresh, like the hallways to the room, or parts of the bathroom, but overall it was a great place.

Impeccable Stay
Pros:

Conveniently located near the train. Very inviting flower boxes and lovely entrance. The hotel is smartly furrnished, very clean and tidy. Staff is attentive and helpful; quite professional. Rooms and bath were spacious with ample room for personal belongings, comfortable bed and lovely seating area.

The breakfast offers a vast variety of food choices including a personal order available and is served in an elegant dining setting. The wait staff was attentive, immedistely serving a pot of coffee and/or tea with fresh toast to the table.
Check in and check out were fast and seamless. All in all, a stellar experience . With no hesitation I would recommend to my friends.

In addition to dining for lunch and dinner in the hotel, sa plethora of dining options are a short walk as well as a shopping center.
