we stayed in the radisson for two nights this week as a treat as we had booked time off work.

overall it met the purposes of the trip- to chill out and take in some the festival.

it is a typical hotel in some senses- plastic plants, large lobby area which is probably hard to heat, and yes overpriced pizza which we ordered in the wee hours of the morning.

However staff were great. Helpful, gave us information about the festival that was going on, has a spa to die for- try their thermal suite (i have never done a thermal suite so enjoyed this), a fabulous breakfast- a variety of things fruits, cereals, meats, frys, pastries. sets you up for a good day. Its in agreat location and your very close to the centre of galway.

It has a reputation for being expensive, so that explained way is was not so crowded. Excellent service. The mid-week lunch is very good and keenly priced. The bar is expensive by local standards. Easy to find and they have their own car park.
Also beside train / bus station.
I would go back.

i was in galway on my bussines trip, stayed here couple of nights. ok i didnt get a chance check leisure center or pool, but i really like location and hotel room was very comfy. breakfast was brilliant and variety of food as well.
i stayed before in ardilaun hotel and i can't compare those two hotels. radisson is the winner in galway.
next time i dont have to looking for another hotel becouse i will definitely come back.

The radison sas is the 2nd hotel I've stayed in where they assume you are going to check out without paying for drinks - at check in time. They asked me to sign a pre authorisation for more than the room rate and then locked the mini bar when I refused to sign for the extra.

The breakfast is stodge - cheapest quality you can buy and self service for everythin including the toast.
It was noisey with a wedding disco going on and hooligans banging outside for a hour in the middle of the night.
It is modern but not contemporary.
Every plant in the place is plastic.
It is without charm or uniqueness.
It is basically a three star hotel with facilities that has the adudicity to charge prices on a par with the salubrious nearby G.

I do not like it.
