We were 2 adults staying here. Impossible to get any, and I mean any accomodation in Galway that busy August weekend. We stayed one night 122Euro for a twin room, not that cheap for a 3 star hotel. But it was lovely, far superior to the many chain hotels we stayed in abroad. Its location is superb. Perhaps we were lucky in that we had a bright room overlooking the rushing river and views beyond. The room was sparkling, with bright modern decor, and a lovely bathroom. Staff were so nice and helpful. The foyer is lovely and I checked my son's CAO points on the internet at reception. Because of our room orientation we had little noise. Breakfast could be more imaginative perhaps. Staff directed us to all the delights of Galway: the magical, secret little streets, Kirwans Lane, Goya teashop, Byrnes wonderful bookshop, the eerie echoing streets of Nun's Island, and everywhere the dark rushing water, glimpsed from cafe, restaurant or boardwalk. Old Galway is a marvel and Jurys is at the heart of it.

This hotel was very clean, with great staff. The location was
wonderful, a few steps away from a 3-block pedestrian-only area. Great for our small kids to run around (except for the occasional delivery van driving by).

Parking was a bit of a pain with the amount of luggage we had (lots of stairs), but we managed OK. We happened to be there when the garbage truck came by early in the morning, which was very loud. Ask for a room away from the garbage truck pick-up.
Great views from most rooms.

What a fab location. I mean it could not be closer to the main restaurants and bar areas. On arrival, bit awkward as there is limited parking space outside, so quickly unloaded our gear and parked in adjacent car park ,20 euros per day. I had booked two rooms, a triple and double for our family of five. We were allocated rooms 309 and 306. On opening the door on rm 309 we were overcome by the smell of cigarettes. There was no way the children could sleep there. Our room was no better, so I requested other rooms. To be fair, they did give us other rooms without too much hassle. Apparently they now allow smoking in certain rooms, namely on third floor so it seems. Rooms were of a good size and clean. No toiletries in rooms apart from a soap dispenser by sink and bath, obviously trying to cut costs. Breakfast was a bit chaotic, not enough tables for guests, no waitress service, self service for everything. Didnt have evening meal as you are on the doorstep of many restaurants. Fab Thai across the road.

stayed for 2 nights on 28th 29th July and found the hotel to be spotlessly clean and the staff were so polite and friendly....
