We spent two nights here. First night was perfect, however, the second night, about 12:30am, the fire alarm went off....and again at 12:45...and again at 1:00am. We were told to stay in our rooms so we did, but only after walking up and down the halls to make sure we weren't going to die in a fire or from smoke... More

We were very happy with our stay at Westwood. The service desk went out of their way to accomodate us and helped us book a day tour of Connamara and even had the bus pick us up at the hotel so we didn't have to drive into City Centre and pay all day for parking. Breakfast was really great, bar... More

We stayed at Westwood May 2013 and we felt it was just OK. The bed was dated and not comfortable and the room was dark and small. In the morning when my husband went searching for coffee he was told "instant coffee" but we noted they were serving Mimosas at the front desk as we were leaving. Room was clean... More

When we checked out they reduced the bill as we'd booked a superior room, we hadn't noticed at all. They... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay at the Westwood Hotel. Spacious accommodation - after being on a ship for 18 nights - it was like having our own wee house - with a fireplace and all! The breakfast was excellent even though the staff were a little flustered with the "morning rush" and were very happy to please. The... More
