“Really noisey,”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2011

I am writing with concern to a recent stay I had in your Galway Hotel. We arrived to stay in your hotel on Sunday the 30th of Oct.

We were stopping off en route to the airport for our honeymoon. Colm in reception was very polite and helpful and gave us a nice room for the stay, well so we taught! We were just getting settled in the room when we wondered what the noise was. To my surprise we discovered we were located just above the front entrance where other guests were outside smoking and taxis picking people up and the reason it was so noisy was the window lock was broken. Although the windows seemed to allow noise in anyway.

We requested to change rooms and were given a room that wasn’t even a standard of a 2 star hotel, so we requested to be moved again or we would leave. In the end, the reception guy said the hotel was full and there was no rooms but said he had a twin room that could be converted and would take a few minutes.
Two hours after we started we ended up in a room in a location as bad as our first, at this stage we just had an enough a put up with it.

I appreciate it was a busy weekend and there was not much the hotel could do to change or fix our problem but I am a frequent guest to your hotels all over the world as I work for one of the biggest airlines worldwide, my main issue is that for the price you charge the quality of service was by far below standard.

“You are guaranteed the best of all worlds when you stay at the luxurious four star Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa Galway. One of the finest Galway Hotels with scenic Galway Bay views, luxury city center hotel accommodation, excellent food, world class spirit one spa & leisure facilities, superb conference & meeting venue and elegant wedding facilities.”
I took this from your website I really wish it was true!!! Also to have a card in the rooms stating this 100% guarantee with dust on them is not acceptable.

Dear Guest,

I am so disheartened to read your review and can only apologise to you on behalf of the hotel for letting you down on what was meant to be the start of an amazing holiday and honeymoon.

Your loyalty to the Radisson group means a lot to us and I am sorry that on this very special occasion we did not meet your expectations.

Your feedback is very important to us and I can only hope you will visit us again in future to let us show you the real hospitality and guest service that I know we can provide and most importantly, that you deserve.

Warm Regards,
Jennifer O'Grady

“Best Property On Our Seven Day Visit to Ireland”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 October 2011

Within walking distance of the city center. Beds were just right with down pillows. Grand Irish breakfast that is not to be missed.

Room Tip: Get a room with a view of Galway Bay.

“The only place to stay in Galway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2011

person found this review helpful

I stay in this hotel every year for the Galway Film Festival and I love it. However on a recent trip to Ireland they upgraded my wife and I to the fifth floor and it was outstanding. My wife loved it so much she hardly left the hotel for two days. A wonderful treat and one I will repeat. If all Radisson Hotels are this good I must stay in lots more.

“Excellent room and food”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2011

Our room was modern and comfortable, the bed huge, bathroom excellent. With a big wedding taking place in the lobby and surrounds, we had a wonderful time people-watching. We ate from the bar menu, enjoying a tasty and moderately priced evening meal.

“Great Location - lived up to expectations”

Just back from a night in Galway - first time in this hotel and we'll definitely be back. The room was a bit of a trek from reception but it was worth the walk. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were spotless. Breakfast was amazing - definitely something for all tastes ! Checking out was a bit manic - took a while to get to the top of the queue so if you are running for a train I'd advise you to check out after breakkie instead of waiting till the last minute like we did.
