“1st Choice for Galway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I've stayed in the Menlo Hotel in Galway 3 times over the last 4 years, and it has never disappointed me. Its a very clean hotel, the staff are so friendly and accomadating, the food in both the bar and resturant is amazing, and the rooms are a good size, lots of parking spaces and always reasonable prices.

the only thing i would advise people is that it is a 10 minute walk along a busy road to the city centre. This never bothered me, i enjoyed the walk and a taxi charges a pretty reasonable price.

All in all, this is my top hotel for Galway, i have no doubt i'll be back there soon 5/5

“Lovely hotel, very friendly staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

people found this review helpful

I stayed at the Menlo Park with my husband and little 6 month old son last week for 2 nights and it was fantastic. We were offered a cot on arrival and a small fridge and were placed in a superior room so that we would have plenty space. The staff were exceptionally friendly, they could not do enough for you while always maintaining a smile. The food was beautiful, our room was beautiful and it was clean and quiet. The room was very warm, even though we turned off the radiator as soon as we got into the room and opened the window, it still remained very warm. But at least it wasn't cold!! All in all it was a lovely stay and would recommend it to anyone staying in galway.

“I will be back - soon.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

Greta rooms with excellent showers, free Wifi and free parking. Excellent bar area with good pub food menu. High end restaurant. Could use an exercise room. Music only on weekends in the bar. Staff was very helpful. Hotel is a long walk north of town in a newer section of Galway. Probably need car or taxi to visit this charming city.

Room Tip: There is a huge roundabout out front. Stay in one of the back rooms. Not a great view but very qui...

Dear John

Thank you so much for your lovely review. It would indeed be good to have an exercise room.
We do have an arrangement with the NRG facility - fitness and pools etc. .. which is located less than half a mile from us.. within walking distance. We are located just under 1 mile from the city centre and we have a freephone at reception for taxis and the number 7 bus stops right accross from the hotel. Thanks for the lovely review and we do hope that you will be back again soon...

“Comfortable Hotel with wonderful staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

Stayed for a night at Menlo Park in early January ( return visit). Everything was first class . The staff were wonderful and the room was spotless and cozy. It was very warm in the room and I see this is a feature of the compliments/ complaints of other guests. It should be possible to turn off the heat altogether sometime during the night and have it come on early in the morning.The cost to the Hotel must be enormous. I like the easy parking at the Hotel and from earlier visits I know the food is very good indeed in this Hotel.

Dear ConnemaraFlyer

Thanks a million for the great review and for the encouragement to sort out the heating issues.
We have installed new systems and it has needed some tweaking. That with the changeable weather may have resulted in too much heat. Thankfully we have now addressed that.
We are so pleased that your overall experience of the hotel, the food and the staff is so positive and we really appreciate your feedback.
"Warm" regards :)

“Fabulous staff, food amazing, great location.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

Stayed in Menlo Park Hotel just before New Years. It was a fabulous few days as the staff were so helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. The food in the restaurant was excellent with loads of choice and even catered for those with dietary needs. I would recommend this hotel to all my friends if they are heading to Galway and I will certainly be back.

Thanks for the great review. You touched on a couple of points which we are delighted about.
We have just luaunched a new restaurant menu which is going down really well and in particular our bar menu for example is 80% gluten free which is going down so well with everyone .. not just people with alergies. We are coeliac friendly and adhere to strict procedures in the preparation of food.... We hope to see you again in 2012.
