Our room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. Breakfasts were great & staff was welcoming and friendly. Wards represents an excellent value in lodgings in Galway. But the best reason to go to Wards is the Pub. Locals mix easily with tourists. And the music! Outstanding, best we heard while on our 3 city trek about Ireland. More

Wards Hotel/Pub is a true, neighborhood establishment located just 1km from the lower end of Quay St. and MANY pubs and shopping options located in that area. Ward's is a quiet alternative to the larger, more expensive hotels located in/around Eyre Square. Anthony and his staff are very accommodating and offer a level of hospitality you can't really get from... More

Located in Salthill, Galway, about 15 mins walk to city centre (1.5 km), about 10 mins walk to Salthill Promenade in Galway Bay. We booked in for a New Year's Eve 2011 weekend (two nights). I would classified the Ward's Hotel rather as a B & B than a hotel. It needs a bit of updating for a status of... More

This hotel,if you could call it a hotel has to be the worse hotel i ever stayed in.First impression when we went in was the stale horrible odour.The decor in the room was so dated it has to be seen to be believed.Scratched old fashioned furniture with the dirtiest carpet in the bedroom.A television on the wall with wires hanging...

Decided to book this place for a night as I was meeting some friends for a drink in the bar downstairs. Pictures on their web page looked nice and it seemed great value at €70 for a double including breakfast. Our bedroom was small but the en-suite/shower was tiny. Most of the other bedrooms were not in use. The doors... More

Rooms aren't as they look in the pictures. Our room was tiny and the ensuite was so small it could barely fit the shower and toilet. The sink was in the room at the bottom of the bed. The door to the room would stick everytime it was opened and would need to be pushed really hard to close again.... More

This was a very friendly hotel with staff who could not do enough to make our stay really good. The rooms were clean and comfortable and were freshened up each day so we felt as if we were new arrivals. any queries were dealt with efficiently and quickly. The music on Wednesday night was absolutely great, and the bar was... More
