It was a love hate relationship during our stay. We based our Connemara touring from this hotel for a couple of days. Checked in late, room was great...nice size....good layout....and great view of the River. We ate dinner out of convenience downstairs, and had a relaxed and enjoyabel meal in their "chic" restaurant. Returned to the room to find absolute mayhem outside, which echoed inside. Apparently they are in the night club business as well, and Thurs. and Sat. nights they open up a club in the parking garage that attracts a noisy and unruly bunch of Galway students and locals. There was a line around the building, fights, screaming, and bedlam. We called the front desk and was told that once they all got inside, we would only hear the bass from the club. At least they were honest. They tried to move us to a quieter wing, but to no avail, but they did try with all earnesty and sincerity. We just turned on the classical radio really loud until 3 AM and toughed it out. Next night (Fri) = no club and no problems. I would recommend they choose whether they are in the nightlfe business or hospitality...the combo conflicts.

I booked the Fairgreen hotel for my husband’s birthday. We arrived at the hotel and we were greeted by a receptionist that promptly checked us in. The room I have to say was very nicely presented. The furnishings were nice and a good size room. The room itself was a little grubby but clean none the less. The weather was very warm on the Friday when we arrived and we discovered that there was no real ventilation in the bedroom. The window only opened so far, for obvious safety reasons and there was a film on the window which only added to the feeling of the room being stuffy as you could not see through the windows. Breakfast was an extra charge so I would recommend a breakfast in one of the cafes in the city. The presentation was very poor, the quality awful and the service was as bad. The other thing that we found poor value for money was that, after we paid for staying in the hotel for the weekend, on departure we also had to pay for parking. The car park is subsidized but a little much we thought on top of the cost of the hotel. All in all it's not by far the worst hotel we have ever stayed in but in saying that I would not be in a rush to stay again. I would also be reserved in recommending it to anyone.

Our family of 4 stayed at a family room at the Radisson SAS in Galway City. The room was enormous, well decorated and CLEAN. There was a large bed (bigger than a king size) and a comfortable pull out couch. A complete dining room table, 6 chairs to go around it and easy chairs as well. Everything was extremely spacious and comfortable. Good beds. The parking in the hotel is underground, and is free for guests staying there.

The hotel has a lovely indoor pool and a large buffet breakfast with hot and cold dishes, including a fruit bar and cold cut bar. This hotel is a 2 block walk from Eyre Square. We loved it and were ready for the amenities of a hotel after many nights in Bed and Breakfasts. This is a business hotel and had great weekend rates. I believe we paid 229 Euros per night. It was a bit pricier than the B and Bs but worth it.

Oh! The hotel also has a gym
Americans - if you plan to go swimming with your kids in Ireland, don't forget to bring them and yourselves a bathing cap. All pools require one to wear them. You can buy them there as well.
I found this website so helpful when booking my trip. I hope this review will help others.
The directions to the hotel on their website were a bit vague...when you get near galway and start going around roundabouts, that is where you have to start counting them. There are 3 of them before you enter into the city and you'd better know what you are supposed to do at each one of them.

Also, a bit of a bother to find the parking at the hotel...you come upon the hotel from the back of it and need to go around the corner of it...parking is in the front of the hotel. Called a "Q" railway garage or something. They share it with the train station and another hotel. NOt well explained on the website. Other than that, it is a good option, especially on the weekend.

Happy travels

This hotel is a nice setting for which to visit Galway city. It is large, sociable, pleasant. The spa is nice, but not luxury.

The rooms are average and pretty standard of large chain hotels. They were clean and certainly did the job for a couple of night's stay.

This isn't a luxury hotel but it's comfortable and the bar area is fun.

OK value.
