A lovely modern hotel in a great location, the hotel is a 5 minute walk from Eyre Square. The hotel is quite small with an small restaurant and small bar however very cosy. The food was of very high quality and the staff in the hotel were all very friendly and helpful, the reception staff were particulary helpful.

I stayed in a standard room and was very well layed out with everything in mind for guests such as broadband, tea/cofeemaking facilities, iron and ironing board and a massive comfortable bed. The rooms are a very pleasant contemporary design and are lager than average rooms in my experience.

Breakfast was included in my rate and for an extra €3.50 per day you may have breakfast brought to your room which i prefered.

As a guest you have free access to the spa with leisure facilities which have a great gym and pool and there are lots of spa treatments to avail of (at a charge).

Nice modern comfotable hotel within great distance from eyre square. I highly reccomend this hotel.

My wife stays here regularly on business, and loves it because it suits the business traveller down to the ground. Easy parking, no busy, noisy bar, great staff, nice rooms.

We went in January for a weekend stay, and as usual were exceptionally well taken care of . The staff make this Hotel. Manager really cares and is genuinely interested in guests, he stopped to talk to us, just like the old days.

Girls on reception were able to recommend two different trips on the Saturday and knew about the market in Clifden. Rooms are always exceptionally clean and the girls in housekeeping ar so pleasant.

We will definitely be back and always recommend the Fairgreen to our Friends and Family.

We stayed here at christmas time as we were going to a party in Galway. I live locally and Know Galway quite well but still found finding the place a little difficult and would imagine for people arriving for the first time it was little awkward, However on arrival I was more than impressed there was a fantasitic atmosphere in reception. There was a beautiful christmas tree in the lobby and a real party atomosphere. Check iin was fine , staff were helpful although they were very busy. I was a little dispappinted about the size of the room although it was very modern and the design meant that all facilities were very compactly stored in the room. The beds were very comfortable , the decor nice and the bathrooms lovely.(though the mirrors a little scarey when one is hungover.)
There was a good selection of toiletries which were impressive.
Breakfast was nice and staff were pleasant. Would recommend the location if you are travelling without a car and you dont have kids with you. Would like to stay again and see level 5.

We stayed in the Fairgreen over the Halloween bank holiday weekend last year. Location was ideal, just a 5 mins. walk to all the shops. The beds were HUGE and the breakfast was lovely. Was one of very few hotels who actually offer a menu for breakfast as well as the usual full Irish option........the scrambled eggs with salmon are highly recommended.
Overall we were very impressed with this hotel, as it offers great value for money.
Car park only cost us €10 for 2 nights, which is pretty good considering that you can walk anywhere in the city so you won't have to pay parking anywhere else......
Would definately recommend / stay again.

Staff at reception exceptionally rude, hotel made mistake over a group booking and staff member seemed like he really wanted an arguement, weve just arrived and all we want is here is your key can we take your bags..

Spa is a real treat and is great and so is the hottub. If your going to the hotel just for the spa its shared with the cheaper hotel in front of it so your probably as well staying there..

Hotel bar in a nutshell is crap and the waiting staff behind the bar are very slow.

Room service, was consistenly late and breaksfast for two arrived breakfast for one..

We booked dinner in the hotel, we were not told it was going to be a buffet or that it was going to cost 60pp.. thats a very expensive buffet!!! 20 euro or 30 euro at best for a self service buffet.. we had dinner in Kirwans lane the night before between 6 of us and spent 50pp including 3 bottles of wine and fabulous food.. During the meal we were unable to get salt or pepper and when recieved it took 3 attempts to actually provide a salt or pepper shaker that wasnt empty!! When asked for the bill we got a jug of milk, maybe a language barrier but not really acceptable..

On plus side bed is huge but the room is nothing special, average..

Dont waste your money here go somewhere else
