My wife and I recently stayed here for one night as part of our 9-day Ireland coach tour, and this was the best hotel we stayed at while in Ireland. Our 5th floor room was spacious and well-furnished with a great view of Eyre Square, convenient to tourist sites and shopping. The Irish Bus and Irish Rail stations are just around the corner, and this made it easy for us to take a train to Dublin the next morning without having to wake up super-early, Breakfast and dinner at the hotel were both very good. There is an Arts Festival going on right now in Galway, and we could hear the music coming from the square but that did not bother us. The bed was very comfortable. When we come back to Galway, this will be where we will stay in town.

We stayed at Hotel Meyrick for 2 nights in June. The room was TINY - we could hardly fit our suitcases. Of course there was no a/c and therefore the room was horribly hot. We bought the package with dinner included and the fixed menu for dinner was rather poor and the food at best was fair. There is no safe in the room and the wireless internet service comes and goes and usually the connection is poor.

However, the staff are friendly, the valet parking and the location of the hotel is great. It's walking distance to all the attractions. McDonough's a must for fish and chips and The Quay's is a must for the atmosphere.

i recently stayed here with my girlfriend as a surprise for her birthday, well what can i say form the moment we stepped through the door until we left it was such an experience. from the reception staff to the bar & restaurant staff everything was wonderful we could not have asked for more.

could not fault this hotel at all the staff were so helpful and friendly no matter how big or small our query was and always done with a smile.

We arrived at 10am reception very welcoming,car valet parked,porter named Kelvin very helpful and pleasant,Suite on top floor facing over Eyre Square was first class coffe lounge on 5th floor nothing special,service in bar and seating area very good
Restaurant was a joy ,the Maitre Di Peter was first class as was the service,the food was some of the best we experienced in a very long time,especially the Mackrel,Sea Truot,Kinvara lamb and the Steak could not complement the Chef(Malachy ??) enough,in fact asked to meet him to pass on our complements very nice man and he made some further recommendations for other meals,we stayed 4 nights and would highly recommend ,try for a front room and if you are a light sleeper bring some ear plugs as the city dosen't seem to sleep,wish we could have stayed longer Neil D&Wife

The only saving grace for this hotel is it s staff. The reception was hidden away to the right. it was very dark and jaded and worn out. Everything seemed to be painted black..

Our room was at the back right over the bus depot. Every morning we were woken up at 6.00am to the sound of the men shouting and the busses leaving the depot. The room was basic and the bathroom was small with cracked tiles around the bath. The grouting was mouldy.

We moved rooms on the 2nd night and we were given an executive room at the front of the building overlooking the park. It was much better, but the busses followed us and parked on the corner near the hotel waiting for passenger. The breakfast was the standard fare, the hot food was luke warm.

the hotel is in a great location central to everything. It was a grand old lady in her day and it is a pity that it has fallen into such a bad state.

We will not be returning EVER!
