A wonderful stay
Pros:

This is a beautifully decorated hotel with a lovely bar & restaurant area. Room was very comfortable & spotlessly clean. 1km walk to the centre, perfect! We ate in the restaurant for breakfast & dinner, excellent food. Would definitely go back.

Pros:

Third time to return to the Huntsman. It’s easy to access a short walk into the city or has a bus stop outside. Staff are always friendly and helpful. The restaurant downstairs has fantastic food at reasonable prices. It’s our go to stay for Galway city.
