Terry , Joanna and all the staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. Ignore several negative comments on this link as I think some people expect way to much for... More

We stayed in this hotel midweek. The location is perfect. There is a nearby carpark where we got 24hour parking for €10. The rooms are basic but clean., The shower was disappointing the next morning took a long time to get the temperature right. For a hotel that is just a base it was exactly what we wanted would def...

I stayed in this hotel with a friend as we had decided to go to Galway for the night. I had made the reservation over the phone while we were on our way to Galway and had requested a twin room. Upon check in we were told we were given a twin room but when we went into the room... More

We traveled mid week to spend two nights in Garveys. I had read previous reviews and was not expecting much. What I did find was a hotel with friendly and helpful staff. The rooms were small but clean, the hallway did smell strange but didn't impact on the room, so didn't really matter. The food was great we ate both... More

Stayed at Garveys on Wednesday 22nd Feb 2012. Didnt read the reviews until after I had booked it. When I read the reviews I had second thoughts. Anyway arrived expecting the worst but I needn't have worried about a thing. The staff were very friendly, the lift looked like it was quite new. Had a room on the second floor... More

Well I stayed here on and off through my travels in Ireland. I would say I was here for almost 2 weeks. Yes, it smells like diesel but that is the top floor, the other floors are fine. It is not as pronounced as most people stay unless your in the hallways. The rooms are fine. The owners act on... More
