The property is in a perfect location in Galway. The staff was very friendly and helpful, even bringing us room service when we were in a time crunch but needed lunch prior to going out. The room was very comfortable and cozy. We absolutely will return when we end up in Galway again.

The staff went above and beyond to welcome us and make us feel special. The on-site restaurant served truly unique meals and the staff and service was perfect. Shout out to Rebecca. Truly well suited for the industry. We will definitely recommend the Huntsman and hope to return someday.

Hotel was very nice overall. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The restaurant / bar area was very nice, although the food itself was average at best. The staff was as helpful as possible. At night the girl serving as hostess was also the one who checked us in. Although the hotel wasn't in the heart of the main shopping, restaurant and pub area it was a quick taxi ride to get there. Parking on site was very convenient.
