One of the best!

Our room was so spacious, and so was the bath! The bed and pillows were very comfortable, too! The staff were super friendly and so helpful whenever we had questions! The location is excellent; directly by the pedestrian zone, but still very quiet!

Convenient location and comfortable

A very convenient and central location, but also quiet which was nice. Absolutely loved the breakfast with the variety and how easy it was to take anything to go - especially if you have early tours in the morning or need to run to catch a bus elsewhere. Staff was accommodating and friendly. Sleep was good. The bathroom is small though, especially the shower. If you're a bigger person, it might be uncomfortable and door easily opens so you have to be careful water doesn't leak out, but it was okay.

This is our third visit to Galway. The House Hotel was a good fit for us. We like being to be able to walk around Galway. There are many shops, night spots and restaurants to dine at within walking distance. The hotel does have an elevator. Parking is relatively close and it isn't free. Breakfast was good. I prefer perked coffee and had to have Americano here. Would recommend.

Hotel was great. Breakfast options were very good. Very close to Latin Quarters when we walked to and was a must see in the town. Parking was the only challenge.

In Between

Rooms were a bit underwhelming. Fire alarm went off the first night. Construction was happening on the first floor so smelled like paint. Good location and relatively nice, but not what I expected

The lobby and included breakfast area has been renovated and is a nice pleasant space. The rooms and corridors are worn, shabby, stained and in need of an overhaul. Construction noise on the first level began around 0830. Very disappointed in the 9.2 Expedia rating. Not at all what I was expecting.

Understated, stylist and relaxed

This is a understated, stylish hotel that is very relaxed and friendly. The rooms were a good size with tea and coffee making, iron and ironing board and safe. King sized bed was very comfortable. Very good location but parking is a multi-storey along the street. I’m not that fussy, but I did think breakfast was disappointing … tried all the (limited) options during my stay but most were overlooked or dry. There’s plenty of better options near by which I’ll choose for my next stay there.
