Stayed one night and had an awful experience. The hotel is undergoing renovation and therefore not great in places. Despite our room being newly renovated the shower never got beyond Luke warm. Our room rate included free car parking which was not the case. But the worse part was being awoken at 4.45am by a member of staff walking into the room.

Avoid the carpark in Eyre square shopping centre, no room to drive, very dangerous and too small of a place to park. You leave stressed yet the parking is expensive. Tey to park on the docks outside.
Also tthe toilets in the centre charge 50 cent, I only had a coin and no bank card, but the sign said coins taken and I put correct amount. It didnt let me in and with a ton of people waiting behind me I left still needing the toilet with the 50 cent taken.
Be warned, very unfair

Eyre Square is located in the center of Galway, the most important city in Western Ireland. It is a park, where you can walk and relax, before going to the commercial area of the city. Also, in the square there are green zones and some statues, a nice place to relax after a day visiting Galway.

Its a great place to just relax and people watch. We visited this park when we were in Galway and it was packed. The sun was out and a lot of people were just sitting on the grass and relaxing. One of the tours that we took drove by the park and told us about the flags that were up on one end of the park, the tribes of Galway he said. The park also has a tour group booth that you can check out. The park is situated right in front of the train station walkway as you exit. So, if you're lost, find the park and you'll know exactly where you're at.

It's a great place to just "hang out" or walk through. It's not large; 5 minutes to go through it. One evening, we brought a take out dinner to the park and just ate and people-watched. Fun!
There's a kid's playground. It honors JFK......the Kennedy Park Eyre Square Playground.

I fell asleep in this park. It's such a nice environment to be around. There is lots going around outside of here and you can hear it all. It was nice to sit here for an hour while waiting for our bus ride back to Dublin as we only spent a day here.

It’s a good meeting spot. Not much here apart from some old family crest flags and part of an old castle that’s boxed off with plastic screens. Buskers add to the atmosphere if you’re lucky.

Galway can be a confusing place to find your way, with narrow, often one-way, streets that enter little squares at odd angles. But everything seems to converge at Eyre Square, in the middle of the city. Within easy walking distance of numerous hotels and restaurants, it serves as a meeting place, a place for a casual walk amid the landscaping, or simply a place to relax and watch the people. It becomes especially lively in the evening.

Came to Galway as part of a coach tour for the day. Had a wonder about and found Eyre square nice to walk around some sculptures, flag poles with colourful clan flags. You can also pick up a hop on hop off bus to take you around but I didn't do that

Eyre square is excellent has everything it's the vein of Galway. Big little and spacious pubs restaurants and coffee spots. The Quay is our favourite place great food staff and bands later in the night. Shopping is also bonus and its surrounded by places to stay.

Will be visiting in June, staying at Galmont, and wondering about a nearby pub/eatery you might recommend.

The kebab shop on the opposite side of the square. Such tasty food and excellent service!
