You should definitely stay here!

Location: The location was fantastic. It was so close to shops, dining, bars and meeting points for activities.
This hotel was the best hotel that I stayed in during my trip to Ireland in May 2017. The staff is so nice. The room was larger than I expected. The shower had fantastic water pressure. The beds were comfortable. And, the hotel was perfectly located close to the Latin Quarter and shopping but still allowed you to have a quiet night for uninterrupted sleeping. I can't say enough about the staff at this hotel, particularly Leigh and Chloe. I had forgotten a package in at the hotel when I checked out and I needed this package for a wedding on the next left of my trip. Leigh hunted my package down and with Chloe's help, they express posted the package to me in England. I couldn't believe that they found my package and helped me to get it before the wedding which was just four days after I left Galway. I was so touched by their kindness and willingness to help me and go beyond the normal duties. They were fantastic. I can't say enough good things about them or the Western Hotel. I hope to return to Galway one day and I will only stay at this hotel when I return. Thank you so much!

Only decent thing about this hotel was location

There was just so many things wrong with this hotel. The room was so dirty we literally made a path around room with towels so we wouldn't have to touch the carpet. The beds were the most uncomfortable beds we have ever slept in and that goes for pillows also. The curtain in room did not block out any light so it was never dark in the room. The shower was horrendous and we almost couldn't even get it to work. The Tv was literally on a side wall not facing the bed so u couldn't see it???? The parking is just very weird and inadiquate. I could go on and on so beware of this property.

Can't Imagine a Better Hotel

Pros: Extremely accommodating and friendly staff. So convenient to everything!
Cons: Loved it all, but know others have commented on the noise. I'd suggest requesting a room away from the street.
Location: Walk to everything in Galway. It's right on the main street where there is every kind of shop imaginable. 10 minutes to the Cathedral, Arch, Museum
The Western is so conveniently located! We got off a bus after traveling for 16 hours. It was an easy walk with all our luggage. The hotel is small and quaint, and offers lots of personal attention. Check in was easy and our rooms, while not extravagant, were well equiped and clean. The beds were surprisingly comfortable. There's a full bar where it was easy to meet friends and have a quick bite. Also the restaurant was as good as any in Galway. The chef went out of his way to fill a special order. It's an extremely good value for the money. If you want something a little more upscale, there are also apartments available in a neighboring building. Perfect for sharing with another couple or large family. These are very modern and chic, and offer great views of the city while feeling very private. They have full kitchens and decks. Just beautiful and still a good value!
