Best Western Flannery's Hotel Galway Ireland

Went to Ireland for our honeymoon in Dec. 2007 the 2 night stay at Best Western was great! The wife wanted to stay more days just because the hotel was so nice. Not like a best western back in the states… this is modern and NICE. I felt like i was spoiled because it was so much better then all the ohter places we had stayed. The room was very clean and spacious, it had a small 19 inch TV and a desk to put your things. The best part for the wife was a built in Hair Blow dryer in the bathroom( ALSO HOT WATER and nice shower). A HUGE plus was the free in room WIFI wireless internet at DLS/ cable modem speeds. Another nice thing about the hotel is that it is located in front of a bus stop… maybe a 1 minute walk to the bus and it comes every 15 min. Free car parking …got to rest the RENTAL!! For me being from the U.S. it was nice to take the bus and not drive on the left. From the bus you can take a 10min ride to Galway city town center. Tons of restaurants, pubs and places to shop right off the Galway centre bus stop. Ask where shop street is … follow the crowd. THE BED WAS KING SIZE first we had in a week!! It was a treat to adventure right off the 10 min. bus ride. We found a deal off hotels.com and have nothing to complain about our stay. Also the staff was very kind and helpful they gave me perfect directions to Athlone and then onto Dublin. Some of the nicest staff we had in our stay in Ireland. This hotel was comparable to a USA Sheraton or upscale Holiday Inn..maybe even something better. Has a restaurant and bar inside the hotel. This place was truly nice and a treat compared to some of the B&Bs we stayed at.

as they say in Ireland ...Thanks a million... Cheers!

I stayed at this hotel in Galway, Ireland on Business in October and was truly impressed and would rate the hotel as follows:

Location: 4/5- I hired a car and drove to the hotel from the airport, its easy to find from Dublin but get the address from their web-site and follow the signs for Galway city east and it will bring you right to the hotel. The city centre is about 5 mins drive from the hotel - they have a free phone taxi service at the hotel to the centre and I asked them to call one on the second night and the taxi was there in 5 mins and I was in the centre in 5 mins - Not bad and it cost €8.

Rooms: 5/5 -Spotless, very well decorated room with bath and shower and duvets which I liked - All the rooms and the downstairs areas have free wifi internet access which was great

Breakfast: 4/5 Good choice on the buffet and they have a hot food carvery at the top of the restaurant with the cooked food which they serve to you - Ask the waiting staff for poached or boiled eggs as they are available but they have to be cooked to order. Very friendly staff which are a credit to the hotel

Dinner: 5/5 I had a la carte dinner the night I arrived and there was a good choice and it was reasonably priced. I ordered the fillet steak medium and it was cooked perfectly. Again very friendly staff - The restaurant is very big and I felt lost there as it was a monday night and not busy - Other than that no complaints

Staff: All staff were top class - friendly, helpful and nothing seemed like too much for them. Also a mention for the friendly cheerful manager who showed me how to work the safe in my room - she certainly knows her stuff and is very professional and welcoming!

All in all I really enjoyed my 2 night stay at this hotel - I will defo suggest returning to the girls as Galway looks like a good lively spot but I didnt get to explore much as I was on my own this time!

This review is to praise the kind and helpful staff at this hotel. Although we had encountered a couple of problems one with heating ( dealt with expediently) and the other with fellow visitors, staff more than adequately dealt with both situations, leaving us with a feeling that they cared wether we had a good stay or not.
Reasonably priced,comfortable and food in the restaurant is excellent.

We stayed in the hotel for 2 nights in October . Our 1st night was spent in one of the older rooms which was ok but not great so we decided we would book out the following morning . When we mentioned this at reception they offered to change us to one of the more modern rooms the following morning which they did. That room was lovely. Overall this is a lovely hotel with very friendly staff and excellent food and we will definately be going back.

Standard lodging. A good value for us because we had three travellers and Flannery's has rooms with three beds so you don't have to rent a two rooms. It's a good twenty minute walk to the downtown square or a quick bus/taxi ride, but this motel does have parking which many downtown hotels do not.

Clean rooms and lobby, accommodating staff, decent bar. We moved after two nights to a downtown hotel for convenience and because prices dropped there after the weekend, but I would definitely stay again at Flannery's. We're just looking for a place to crash after being out all day and evening, so our needs are simply a clean room for a good value in a decent location. Flannery's fits the bill.
