Pros:

The rooms were a nice and large size, even though we were right near the road it was quiet with double glazed windows and good blinds. The staff were so incredibly friendly and personable. Also didn’t hear a peep from the restaurant underneath. The restaurant had very nice food and friendly staff too. Ample free parking too.

Ottima soluzione a Galway
Pros:

Le camere sono belle, ampie e pulite. Anche se la camera è sopra un ristorante/pub e in una zona trafficata è molto silenziosa.
C'è la possibilità di fare colazione alla carta al bar collegato all'albergo che è buona e curata (anche se non proprio economica)
La zona è silenziosa e dotata di un parcheggio gratuito per gli ospiti.
Lo staff è gentile e disponibile ad aiutare.

Cons:

Non è una lamentela anche perché si capisce benissimo da Google. La struttura è leggermente fuori dal centro di Galway (che è comunque raggiungibile a piedi in 25 min, 5 min in auto), rispetto al centro il prezzo è sicuramente più competitivo ma la struttura è comunque davanti a un incrocio abbastanza trafficato.

Lovely.
Pros:

Nice room, comfy bed. Good shower. Had dinner in the bar and it was excellent. It was very busy so would advise booking.

Cons:

Honestly, it was a great stay. Tiny note that the shower head is super close to the wall and over hangs the soap dispenser which was annoying but that is the only tiny detail I can think of

This property have everything you need for a great stay in Galway
Pros:

Great location, received an email from the property the day before advising that it would be very busy due to two big matches in Galway on our arrival day. When we arrived there was some spaces reserved.. I really appreciated the heads up before we arrived.. The staff we encountered were very professional and friendly.. Check in was fast.. Our Room was fabulous.. Large, modern with a great view of Lough Aralia in the distance.. the bed was one of the most comfortable I have slept in.. We had a lovely stay.

Cons:

Nothing, all good

Pros:

Das Zimmer war riesig und sehr modern und schön eingerichtet. Auch das Bad war mit Regendusche ausgestattet und war sauber.
Man kann im Huntsman Inn auch essen. Die Speisen war außerordentlich gut.

Cons:

Man geht zirka 25 Minuten in die Innenstadt, aber es geht auch ein Bus direkt vor dem Inn. So gesehen also nur Jammern auf hohem Niveau.
