We had a beautiful room here overlooking Eyre Square. The accomodations were great and the location superb. I did notice the walls seemed quite thin; this was annoying if you had a loud neighbor as we did. It was hard getting to sleep. The dining room and the food were great and the spa quite relaxing. I would recommend this hotel but be prepared to bring ear plugs. There could have been a bit more attention to detail. It was very convenient to anything going on in Galway City and good walking distance to all the sites.

Small dank room in rear of hotel overlooking dumpster. Could not get hot water out of bathroom sink had to wait about twenty minutes to get steady hot water out of shower. Extreme noise outside cursing yelling fighting from dusk to dawn. After three nights of no sleep looked down at a sharp angle and saw a garbage strewn ramp filled with people smoking drinking and making a lot of noise. This ramp apeared to be the after hours hang out for people who worked at hotel. The gentleman at the front desk showed no concern what so ever and told me there was nothing he could do because I was above the rear entrance to the bar. later the manager moved to an executive room wich was not clean and had broken floor tiles in the bathroom. Breakfest was excellant and was standard hotel price of 15 Euros. Definetly not a 5 star hotel, would never stay again.

We spent 4 nighta at the Great Southern and had a great experience! The hotel is in a great location and within walking distance to many points of interest. We stayed in the Junior suite, which was georgous and very spacious. It had a very large bathroom with separate tub and shower, a large armoire, wonderful bed and a great seating area. We were very well taken care of! We decided to upgrade at the last minute, and we were happy we did! We only paid an extra 50 euro a night- which was well worth it!
The staff was great and quite pleasant. We had a fantastic time!

My sister and I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights this month and we loved it! The room was very clean and spacious. The beds were very comfortable, but it had only the comforter, no other blankets on the bed, but the room was warm, so that didn't matter much.
The location was fantastic, right on the square, and there is construction outside, but it was not really a problem.
The hotel staff was very efficent and extremely helpful with directions and advice.
The food in the bar was really good, the service was pretty fast and the prices weren't that bad.
I would highly recommend this hotel.
