We got off the train from Dublin and only had a 2 minute walk to Garvey's which is right on Eyre Square. This is a party hotel in the loudest part of Galway and not for the faint of heart. If you're into peace and solitude, please don't stay at any hotel near Eyre Square especially on a Saturday night!... More

We were booked in to stay for the weekend but only lasted a nite and booked straight into another Hotel. When we arrived the Hotel room was dirty, I tried asking a member of staff downstairs if we could have another room but this was however impossible as her English was poor. As for the food, don't get me started... More

The rooms were clean but the condition of them were very poor, the socket was loose on the wall, no stoper in the washbasin... More

We didn't stay here, but stopped in for a pint as it was very near our hotel. Sitting on a corner on Eyre square, the location is great. Good atmosphere inside, dark wood and a nice long bar. Free wi-fi and the service was good.
