Excellent stay at the western on quick 2 day trip to Galway. Centrally located, comfortable, pleasant basic hotel. Super friendly staff, helped secure a fan as weather was very warm and no AC. Convenient parking below hotel.

Temple Bar Hotel DUB

This hotel is conveniently located to the Temple Bar area and has a restaurant/bar attached. There’s a grocery store across the street. I would highly recommend it.
Jeff, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location, able to walk easily to all the sights. Room was big, clean, just a bit stuffy/warm. Otherwise it was a great stay! Everyone was friendly and helpful. Also had parking on site which was a plus!
Julianne, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean rooms and polite staff. Parking is very convenient. Breakfast is great, and you are within walking distance of great spots for lunch, dinner and shopping.
Kyle, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good location

The hotel was a little difficult to navigate, however our room was lovely (even with the noisy bird outside the window). The room was a bit small, but the bathroom roomy. The reception area was too small—not convenient for several people to stand to check in. My husband enjoyed the restaurant and bar. Hotel was in a great area. Easy walk to downtown. The Jungle Cafe across the street was a delicious breakfast choice. Free parking is offered.

1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a great stay at the Western Hotel! The room was comfortable and surprisingly spacious for the price. It’s about a 10-minute walk to the city center, which was perfect—close enough to everything but still quiet at night. Breakfast had a solid variety of options, and every staff member we interacted with was warm and helpful. Would definitely stay again!
