Just returned from 2 night stay in Galway. Hotel was pretty average. Room was clean and bright but had terrible mildew and condensation on window sills. Noise was a problem, with guests returning from night on the town at 5.15am! Breakfast was average, coach parties in abundance. Good evening entertainment and very pleasant helpful staff. Great bus service runs from just across the road from the hotel, right into Eyre Square for only Euro1.30, every 20 minutes, and back again using 2E, 4E or 5. Fabulous leisure pool - enormous with all usual facilities. Remember swim hats compulsory in Ireland!

This is a very nice, contemporary hotel. The rooms looked as they do on their website. They have plenty of parking. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were clean. We even had breakfast on the two mornings that we were there and it was pretty good. The staff was friendly. No complaints with the hotel or staff or location. It is about a mile into the center of town so we just drove there every night.

The only down side to this hotel is that the rooms are very warm and stuffy and the windows only open a couple of inches, not allowing much air in. There is no air conditioning or a fan provided so there is no way to circulate the air in the room. You can request a fan at the front desk but I think there is a fee, not sure if the fee is given back when you return the fan.

Just back from a weekend in Galway and must say we just loved the Days Hotel. The facilities were excellent and staff were very helpful and friendly. The food was excellent as we had dinner and breakfast, however the dinner menu was somewhat limited. However it was so tastly it compensated for the lack of choice (approx 5 main courses). The pool was beautiful - really clean and spacious and again staff in the leisure centre were really helpful. The bedroom was tastefully decorated and shampoo and shower gel was provided - see other review. We were allocated a room with a balcony which was a nice feature as the weather was quite hot. The hotel provided entertainment which was quite good as we arrived late on the first night and didnt bother going into town. As stated before coach parties seem to be attracted to the hotel - I guess I cannot blame them - they were really well catered for and it certainly did not put me off. The hotel is however about a 20 minute walk from Eyre Square, however the bus stop is just outside the hotel and taxi's are readily available. Hope this sets the record straight - the Days Hotel is certainly one of the best in Galway City if not the best that I have stayed in - this was about my fifth visit to the city.

Stayed for three nights at the hotel and I have to say I expected a lot more.

Parking was not the easiest. They have a large underground car park at the back, however I felt it did not look very secure. Even though the hotel would be responsible for the car under the Hotel Proprietors Act I did not think the car was safe their nor was I given the park is very isolated. There was nearly a fight over parking on the Monday evening. The check-in was prompt and efficient.

The room was dissappointing. The heat of the room struck me as soon as I entered. There was no air-conditioning available. The only way to cool the room down was to open the window. We had some sort of a machine outside which was rather noisy when in operation. Great when the window was closed but notable when the window was opened!!

The room was very clean. It came with normal tea facilities, hair dryer, etc however there was none of those items one would expect a hotel with 3 stars to have. No shampoo, shower gel, face cloths etc!

The room came with a double and single bed. I have to say it was one of the smallest double beds I have ever stayed on. I had to join the beds together!

We learned after heading to the restaurant/ bar to get something to east that you could not get food after 21:00. The bar stops serving food at 20:00. Room Service will not deliver after 21:00.

My girlfriend had breakfast on the Sunday and said that it was average but not great.

The swimming pool was OK. The layout is strange and appears to be designed with children in mind. It is not the warmest and is some way from the bedrooms. One has to take about 2-3 minute walk to the pool. We did not try the gym.

As noted by others the hotel appears to accommodate a lot of coach parties. While we where there there were a lot of these and they seem to literally take over the hotel.

Overall the hotel was average. It is a good location for traveling around the region, however I would suggest that there are probably better hotels with better services and cheaper in the area.
