The Hotel is just few steps from the best pubs and... More

It took about 25-30 minutes after our meal ended for anyone to notice us at our table, and our original waitress had disappeared. The replacement waiter didn't bring us water until the fourth time we asked for it and when the glasses for the water came there were heavy lipstick marks all around the rims.

If you're coming to Galway for a quiet relaxing holiday then you'd be better off staying in a B&B outside the city. But that said if you're coming for "ceoil agus craic' then the Spanish Arch is the place to stay. My partner and I booked out the hotel for a few nights so our families could join us for... More
