Nice hotel out of town.

Very lovely hotel a bit out of town which is an advantage. We used a taxi to go and come from the city for about 10 euros. Very nice breakfast.

I arrived at about 8:45 AM and was able to check-in as soon as I arrived! Completely changed my day as I was able to get settled before heading out for my Cliffs of Moher tour. This was not a perk I was able to get at other properties I stayed at in Ireland, so it truly made a huge difference and was much appreciated. The staff was so welcoming and I felt very safe and comfortable in the common areas. The breakfast was great and the coffee was delicious. If I'm ever lucky enough to return to Galway, I will be returning to The Ardilaun!!

The hotel was nice for our short stay in Galway. Considering the price, I expected slightly better quality of the overall cleanliness and food. Their dinner was extremely disappointing and breakfast was subpar.
