Pros:

Just a 20/25 minute walk from the centre or a short bus ride. Plenty of free parking. Room was modern with a very comfy bed and good sized bathroom. Restaurant on site if you want to buy breakfast, lunch or dinner. Food is of a good standard.

As with most hotels no aircon was a problem. Given the recent upgrade they missed an opportunity.

A fantastic stay with excellent food, comfortable rooms, and friendly staff—we would happily return!
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at The Huntsman Inn. The room was modern, spotless, and very comfortable, and the staff were welcoming and friendly throughout our stay. The breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice, and the location was convenient—close enough to Galway city while still being quiet and easy to reach by car.

The room was spacious and great for relaxation. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. We appreciated the tub of clean towels and fresh water/coffee/tea when we had our "do not disturb sign up." Excellent stay!
