We stayed at several properties around Ireland during our 5 day visit and this was one of our favorites. Although you can tell the property is older they do a fantastic job keeping clean and well maintained. This place felt the most like home for us.

The room was cold, staff, including the manager attempted to assist many times but the only solution was a portable heater. Also, the tub was not functionable. As it was St. Patrick's Day weekend, other options were not available.

Brilliant Hotel in Galway

I had a fantastic stay at the Harbour Hotel in Galway! The location is perfect, making it easy to explore the city and enjoy everything it has to offer. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always going above and beyond to ensure a great experience. The hotel itself is gorgeous and spotlessly clean, with a welcoming atmosphere. The beds were super comfy, making for a restful night's sleep. I’ll definitely be coming back—highly recommend!

I recommend a stay at the Harbour hotel

Stayed at the Harbour hotel a number of times and always found it to be a very friendly place to stay,very clean and all the staff are friendly and professional. It's very convenient with only a short walk to Eyre Square.
