Based solely on positive Tripadvisor.com reviews we booked into the Park House Hotel in Galway, and it fulfilled all our expectations. Although the hotel quoted 205 Euros for a double room, we got one for £85 through Expedia, which we thought was excellent value. The hotel is centrally located in the vibrant city of Galway but has its own car park. The staff were consistently friendly and helpful, and everyone seemed to be making an effort to make guests comfortable. The room was well above standard with a huge bed (bed linen changed daily) and spotless (even if the only view was a back yard). Award-winning restaurant.. Thank you, Tripadvisor, for such a sound recommendation.

I traveled with 12 family members to the Park House Hotel. We really enjoyed our stay here. It was right in town close to pubs, restaurants and shopping. The only problem we had was the wake up call never happened. It's an automated system, and it didn't confirm the wake-up call, so it was impossible to tell whether or not it worked (it didn't for 6 of us). The staff was average in the restaurant and front desk, but the other staff was very helpful and went above and beyond. The room, although not large was clean and had all the amenities of a 4 star (no robes but had a pants press - nice touch). All in all, pretty good with a great location.

I can only reiterate all the other first-class reports. We spent two lovely days at this superlative hotel. I am getting on a bit (sort of 74) and I must say that this is probably one of the most comfortable and well run hotels that I have experienced worldwide. My wife and I would love to return one day.

I live in London, but my family are from Galway, so I knew of the Park House Hotel before I stayed there with my wife, on the first night of our Honeymoon before we headed off to France. However I did not know know how good our brief stay there would be.
There are a few hotels in Galway which are of a fairly high standard, however few match the attentive service we received at the Park House.
The room was immaculate (I think newly decorated), the restaurant was superb (and surprisingly good value for money - good size portions!)
Location wise it is perfect, it is just on the edge of Eyre Square, (which is the main square in Galway), which means it is no more than two minutes from the renowned nightlife, but is just far enough away to avoid the noise.
We accidently left my wife's Wedding Tiara in the room safe, and only realised the next day whilst sitting in the queue for a ferry to France from Dover! The duty manager explained that he couldn't check the room until the following day as it was occupied, however he assured me that if it did turn up, he would call me on my return to the UK.
We returned two weeks later to discover that the head cleaner had found the Tiara the previous morning and stored it in the hotel safe until she could speak with the duty manager, and they were waiting for us to advise what to do with it!
The Tiara itself was of intrinsic value, however it looked and felt very valuable - we were pleasantly surprised to get it back!
We will definitely stay there again.
We are back in Galway later this year for the Oyster Festival and will probably stay with family, however I think we will defintely find time to have dinner in the restaurant.
