I stayed at the Ardilaun at the weekend and really could not rate it highly enough - food, service, rooms, atmosphere, staff - all excellent. I believe that they have just spent a lot of money on the hotel and it certainly showed. The character of the place, while top class, gives a most homely feel. We ate in tne... more

Lovely entrance to hotel. Spacious comfortable bedrooms. Staff friendly. Food good. Swimming pool excellent. Decor a bit outdated. 25 min walk to salthill. Plumming in bathroom unbeliveably loud. Far too expensive. Watch out for hidden extras when checking out!! more

We stayed here just after christmas, it was brought for us as a present. It was honestly the worst 2 nights I have ever spend on a break. Maybe I am being harsh..the friday night wasnt too bad, food was okay in the restaurant but not 4* standard. Quite enough, no complainants, just average, we thought things can only get... more

It was a little difficult to find the hotel but once there we had a wonderful experience. Our room was spacious and comfortable and the staff didn't try to clean it until we had gone out for the day - much appreciated. The food was excellent even if our waitress at dinner was a little inexperienced (e.g. did not know... more

Went for a wedding, hence thought it best to stay in the same place. While the wedding was excellent, the ballroom a great venue, staff serving were friendly and well-organised, the hotel was a big letdown. We arrived to find we were above the smelly kitchen vents. As the hotel was full, we had to stay there sleeping with windows... more

Staff & rooms very poor and unfriendly made no attempt to be friendly food and leisure centre good nor a 4 star hotel rooms very noisy and only adequate more

In March 2009 I booked a Friday night in the Ardilaun Hotel in Galway city, it is listed as a 4* hotel and was near where I needed to be the following day. I arrived on the Friday night at about 8.30pm th a very smiley cheesy welcome. I was quite tired so I went straight to my hoping for... more

Booked 3 rooms for family members to stay whilst attending christening in Galway. Had been told this hotel was one of the top Galway Hotels - whilst the rooms have been modernised and were clean and spacious the dinner served (as part of the deal) was appalling - reminiscent of Irish hotel food in the seventies! We had booked in... more

Stayed here for a 3B&B 1D Hotel Break - 2 Adults / 2 Children in June 09. Rooms were spacious (1 Double and 2 Single beds) and had an old world, elegant charm about them (not to be confused with shabby, dirty or outdated). Food was of excellent quality in the main dining room and the facilities were excellent. Very... more
