Galway hotels near Spanish Arch

Pros: The location was the best . The breakfast was included and it was delicious

Pros: The gluten free scones and desert plus the beds. Plus gluten free sausages.

Pros: The location and staff. I travel a lot and they are I the top 100%. The guy in the restaurant, Head Chap, is brilliant. An example of staff service. Went to bat for a drink before dinner. Waiting on my partner. Only one stool at bar. Guy behind bar never said a word and 5 mins later he had gone and got another stool. Then brought my wine into the restaurant. Nice concierge service for car. Absolutely tip notch.

Cons: Could do with a gym.

Pros: Friendly staff and a nice, spacious room.

Pros: Service was outstanding. Very clean. Comfortable.

Cons: No dislikes

Pros: This hotel is located right in the middle of Galway and has wonderful character. It took us a while to locate the garage, but we were really glad to have hotel parking. Fergle was an amazing help with luggage and the car. We enjoyed dinner in the restaurant. Again, the ambiance was terrific. We hope to return someday!

Cons: We think the sign for the parking could be higher up if zoning permits.

Pros: The staff goes out of their way to make your stay perfect.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The whole experience was excellent. The room was clean and comfortable. it was nice to have a separate bath as well as a shower. Breakfast was delicious, well presented with a nice selection of fresh fruit and home made scones and bread. Staff were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The location suited our needs perfectly. We would thoroughly recommend anyone to stay here.

Pros: Very helpful and professional staff who volunteer to meet every need. Utterly quiet room. Clean and beautiful. No street noise whatsoever. Breakfast was superb in every way. Climate control in the room functioned perfectly without clunky off and on noises. Beautifully decorated hotel. If a potential guest wants to stay up late and party in the room, don’t stay in this hotel. If you want great service and a pleasant and comfortable nights sleep, stay here.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: First, after some confusion (our problem) finding the car park, the staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating. The hotel itself was a wonderful surprise, a bit old world luxury, with lots of dark woods, polished brass, and oriental carpets. Room had all you would expect and more. Great breakfast as well.

Pros: Very clean, friendly excellent service. The restaurant supervisor/manager ? ( Simon ) was extremely pleasant and made our Anniversary celebration very special. Thank-You Simon.

Cons: Room a bit dark, depressing view. Very expensive for b&b. Had dinner in the restaurant, which we enjoyed but was disappointed when the waiter came with the Bill without checking to see if we were finished or if indeed we would like anything else. . felt we were being rushed out!

Pros: It was in a perfect location. So close to the train and bus. Very convenient.

Cons: The bed wasn’t the best. You could feel some of the springs.

Pros: We were in the old part, view was nothing.

Cons: Room tidy staff friendly & helpful

Pros: Loved everything about this hotel. Breakfast was fabulous. Staff were very polite and helpful. Very quite rooms great sleep. Will be returning.

Pros: The bar had delicous food. Location great next to the bay. Free parking.

Cons: Restrictive Wi-Fi allowing only one device to be used at a time. I had to go and ask for another password for the 2nd device. Noisy parties in the lobby/bar/restaurant areas (in my opinion, large private parties should be in a separate area from the hotel guests). No chain on the door.

Pros: Only the location, the rest i wouldn't recommend

Cons: Room window faced internal patio, with the kitchen fans working till midnight. Decayed hotel, not well maintained. Poor staff.

Pros: The only redeeming quality about this hotel is the ... well the beds were decent.

Cons: The worst thing about this hotel is the staff. I was booked for a 3-night stay and left a day early. If I stayed any longer, my whole vacation would have been ruined just by the interaction with the staff.

Pros: Ideally situated for the seafront. Ideal for walking and swimming

Cons: Nothing good position

Pros: Room was clean, location was great and breakfast was very good.

Cons: While a hotel of this size will obviously have functions, the music from the wedding that was taking place during our stay was loud enough to keep us awake. And this was in a room that the receptionist told us was in the back of the hotel, away from the function room.

Pros: Swimming Pools, Room , Location & Breakfast

Cons: The vending machine need to be stocked with water Bottle of water 3 euro to fill a babies bottle from the bar

Pros: Friendly staff. Good service from reception and room cleaners

Cons: Food in bar wasn't very good. Bathroom needed sorted .shower head dirty and temporary shower curtain placed where door should have been !!

Pros: Staff at reception very helpful

Pros: Comfortable and spacious

Cons: Needs more signposts

Pros: The bed was alright but any one who has asthma or needs to raised up the pillows were too soft found it hard too sleep

Cons: All was great except pillows.

Pros: Enjoyed our stay here ! From the lovely and very helpful check in staff , to the wonderful beds and breakfast , I would definitely give this hotel and A+and stay again !

Pros: Close proximity to city center. The lobby was clean and well-lighted.

Cons: Reservation was for a king-bed, "bay view" room. The first room we were given had a view of the lobby, and was a handicap access room. We asked for a different room, and were given one with all of the windows painted over and no air-conditioning (the room details said it was air-conditioned). It was very hot in the room, and the window would only open about 6 inches. Not what I expect from Radisson...

Pros: The view from the room was amazing , The room its self was beautiful, we had dinner in the bar and the food was lovely .on site parking . I have no complaints

Cons: Waitress that served us dinner seemed to be having a bad day ( we all have them)

Pros: Nice comfortable bed , great choice for breakfast and we liked the thermal spa suite.

Cons: A bit laborious process for check-in

Pros: Perfect location! We walked everywhere and loved the facility! Book early for spa appointments!!

Cons: I do like smaller hotels.

Pros: Great location and great facilities. The room were very comfy and clean. The staff are excellent and very friendly.

Cons: Not much.

Pros: Bed was comfortable. Location was great!

Cons: My room was not ready when promise. The person at desk explained she could only give me a economy room. After going to room late my wife and I tried taking a nap before dinner, I was over the gym. The staff first response was the gym closes at 10:00. They next room they gave us had stains on carpet and window frosted so yo can’t look out. Lobby was nice but I stay here many times and seemed run down.

Pros: The location was excellent and I could not recommend highly enough for that alone. The outdoor Jacuzzi was icing on the cake. The breakfast was lovely. and the room was beautifully presented and wonderfully serviced throughout the stay. Excellent staff who were friendly and approachable, but everything was already provided so I didn't need to approach them at all except for check in and out.

Cons: Paying for parking after paying for a 2 night stay is a bit mean. The car park is plenty big enough and provate enough to be offering free parking for hotel guests. 2 cars for 2 nights at €9 per day is a bit rich to be asking for when the stay already exceeded €200 (€17 pp for breakfast too).

Pros: Location, staff, breakfast, bathroom, tv channels, bed, our spacious room which was very clean, quiet and comfy.

Cons: We have been at this hotel twice before and we really like it. Unfortunately this time we didn't have deep sleep pillow spray nor express check out option in the room. We had those last time when we also stayed on the fifth floor.

Pros: The lobby and furniture

Cons: Location

Pros: Overlooks water; walkable to great shops and bus stop.

Pros: Nothing- it was an aweful stay;we had to abandon our plans of staying another night.

Cons: We were given a room in the third floor but to get there we had to trek the whole way around the first floor, take another lift and walk for what feels like a mile! Having just driven for four hours all we wanted was to get to our room as quickly as possible; but no, it takes a two-day camel ride to get there! Then the rooms were not sound proofed- we could hear the conversations from next door and the snoring too! The breakfast was pathetic- the sausages looked half cooked, the bacon too disgusting looking- so ‘mass produced’ it might as well have been in a street side one-star cafe. It took forever to get our coffee as the staff were more interested in clearing and setting up tables than attending to the ones who were already half way their meals. It didn’t feel like a four-star hotel at all; it was more of a cattle market. I was sooo disappointed and felt so sorry for my husband who thought he was going to a nice hotel. At €170 a night, I expected so much more.

Pros: I liked the sense of luxury in a well-appointed hotel near city centre. Also enjoyed the piano bar !

Pros: Very comfortable and great location

Cons: The lifts were being worked on and it disrupted the reception area greatly.

Pros: My stay was relaxing and was close to city centre

Pros: The attentiveness of the staff, all requests were catered for without issue

Pros: The hotel is beautifull and the room is very clean and comfortable, the bed and pillows are perfect!! The first dinner was excellent, the second was not so...but it happens! The internet is free, which is a good difference for us. The location is good, not at city center, but close enough to go walking. Our stay was very pleasant. I recommend the hotel.

Cons: No complains.

Pros: Friendly staff, great facilities, well furnished rooms in a great location.

Cons: No bar food available before 3pm in the bar. Had to go elsewhere to get bar food.

Pros: it was a very relaxing hotel

Pros: location,although only mins walk from the hustle and bustle of the city it is so relaxing,as if set on a country estate.

Cons: upon arrival at the desk one member of staff just looked me up and down,then walked away as i was about to say hello while making eye contact,at this point a very helpfull guy with glasses welcomed us ,had a bit of a chat and booked us in,while sharing a joke with my son which made up for his senior member of staff.this is only a small matter in what was a perfect stay

Pros: the service and the luxury of the hotel

Pros: None

Cons: At all times when walking down the corridors between the rooms there were black bags full of unwashed bedding. Even late at night. One evening we went to our room at 6 in the evening and it hadn't been cleaned. I saw a wall mains socket that had been pulled out of the wall in the corridor exposing mains electricity. Waitress staff late in coming with the coffee orders in the morning. Mains power cut when we were there not allowing a cooked breakfast in the morning. Why no back- up generator. Our room overlooked a housing estate and a small courtyard within the hotel complex that had astro-turf laid that was torn and shabby.

Pros: I was not given the accommodation I paid for, the room was dirty, shower floor was torn and dirty. The staff were very unhelpful refusing to give me the room I paid for. I was forced to look for alternative on a wet and windy evening accommodation with my granddaughter. The manager admitted the room was in need of repair and did not meet the standards of health and safety.

Cons: Having the room I paid for, or offering to pay the extra money I had to give for another accommodation.

Pros: I loved the 24 hour check-in, the ability to rent hairdryers and lock valuables in a safe. Strong community spirit and such great proximity to the Galway coach station, which is handy for trips out to scenic areas. My bus arrived into howling rain and I got to the hostel mostly dry - Super thankful for that! Breakfast was also better than expected for hostel standards!

Cons: Nothing at all!

Pros: Staff, the breakfast was really nice, lounge is cozy and fun to stay

Cons: Curtain and shower head was dirty, also shower had weak pressure. Weird, but toilet stream was TOO strong, water flew over.

Pros: We had free coffee and cereals, toasts and jam&butter. No cheese or eggs, but it was ok for this low price.

Cons: Very poor sound isolation, I could hear doors banging all night, could not spell well

Pros: It’s very close to the bus and train stations. And also within walking distance to nearby shops and tourist attractions in the city center.

Cons: There was a couple having sex in out room... Mikey and Evelyn... They don't want Greg to know that they had sex Just letting the world know that Greg has been hard done by and I'm traumatised. Other than that the hostel was lovely.

Pros: Location, location, location

Cons: The shower was tricky

Pros: Location

Cons: Shower

Pros: Bed was very comfortable

Cons: The butter was very hard to spread in morning

Pros: Location

Cons: Very busy

Pros: It was cheap and the location was handy

Pros: Love the facilities , the kids club is fantastic and the apartment was very spacious and we'll equipped

Pros: The food at breakfast excellent choice something for all guests

Cons: Breakfast times as we had a wheelchair user it would have been better if we could have booked a specific table on one day we had to be accommodated on a table that was not particularly convenient

Pros: Large facilities. Great included breakfast.

Cons: Dirty room and tea kettle with mold.

Pros: Facilities and space in hotel

Cons: Beds weren't that comfortable

Pros: The rooms were lovely, and we got a bunk bed for the kids which they loved. The bathroom was clean. The swimming pool was lovely and clean and my two little girls loved the kiddie dolphin pool (as they called it).

Cons: No iron in the room. Food was okay. You could hear everything going on in the halls which was upsetting as we were trying to get two little girls to bed. The breakfast was satisfactory, but during breakfast my little girl had a tummy ache and I had to rush her to the toilets, the cleaning lady wouldn't let me in to the toilets as she said she was cleaning them, the disabled toilet was in use, so I couldn't use it, I had to bring her into the men's toilets to get sick. There was a smell of urine when she was getting sick, it was just awful. It was upsetting. On top of it all, it was very expensive for one night €336 for 1 night for the 4 of us, which included dinner.

Pros: Good location staff very well trained

Cons: Food good

Pros: Location 5 min drive from city centre great bar with music. Big pool and 24 hour gym

Cons: Toooo many kids in the pool and the steam room was down which cant be helped from time to time i guess.

Pros: Huge Hotel!! The bar was great & breakfast was delicious. We stayed in The B wing which was probably the original part of the hotel. Was comfortable & the bed was a super king!! The other wings had balconies which would have been a bonus on our room.

Cons: Didn’t have the friendly feel to it as we’ve experienced in other hotels. I’m sure it this was due to how busy the hotel was!
