Hotel was a perfect location. Close to everything but far enough away so you don’t hear when the bars cleared out. Staff was exceptional. Dry friendly and helpful. Only flaw of the stay would be that the bathroom tub had cigarette or candle burns on it. A little surprising.
Amenities - restaurant, and bar were great.

The Harbour Hotel was reasonably located but very noisy. The doors would close with a bang, your neighbors will prove it all hours of the night. There was also city noise. We knew before we got there it was a hit or miss.
We would not have chosen it in forethought.
The front desk was very good, the breakfast buffet was well represented and clean.
Our room was on the top floor, the angle of the roof interfered with our full use of the room, the bathroom was small and clean. Towels and sheets - not bad, pretty good actually. Parking was 13 euros a day and was well worth it.

The Harbour Hotel’s name accurately describes its location. But none of the rooms appear to have water views! The great majority either face a road or an adjoining apartment house. The location is on Galway’s harbor and is also a few minutes’ walk from the train station and the center city shopping and dining district.

The room was comfortable and quiet, and the amenities were as expected for the hotel class. There were no problems during our stay, and the staff was especially helpful when we discovered 90 minutes after departure we had inadvertently left some medications in our room. Overall rating: 4.51/5 .

Stayed two nights. The hotel is ok, expensive for what it is. Spent 10 days in Ireland and this hotel had the worst shower water pressure of all the hotels. The mini fridge was broken. We called the desk. They said it was a “cooler” and would send someone in the morning. It was never fixed and never addressed. Room faced the street and was quite noisy even with the double window closed.

What a perfect spot on the edge of the downtown areas. Big comfortable beds, great shower pressure. I would recommend this as a great Galway hotel.

Hotel was nice and we liked the location. Housekeeping wasn’t great … they did bare minimum and sometimes didn’t even do that. Staff was friendly but not very helpful. You needed your room key after going through the lobby to access the area where the rooms were. The problem is that the system did not work properly and everyone had a problem with it, often requiring the desk staff to assist. Despite these issues I would stay here again for the location

This was a great location and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was quiet and comfortable. Super convenient. I thought the toilet was not flushing properly and the guy at the desk told me he thought I was being “too nice” to it, LOL, and explained how to pull it forcefully, and said I was not the first American to have problems! He was quite perplexed and surprised to hear it is not the same at US hotels! All the staff were great.

Did not get the breakfast but the room was spacious and comfortable. I appreciated the tea kettle and chocolates. The shower pressure was good. Only problem was that housekeeping was cleaning rooms very early and it woke us up early, but the front desk staff said he would let the manager know and compensated us for our trouble, which was terrific customer service. I would recommend this hotel based on quality and proximity of Latin Quarter

We couldn’t have picked a better hotel for our stay in Galway. We had 2 days to plan our international trip, and I was nervous because I didn’t put a lot of time into selecting a hotel like I normally do. We couldn’t have chosen a better option. The breakfast was amazing, the staff was incredible and helpful. The only thing that could be improved are the key cards—They are very finicky and require some time to get used to. Regardless, I will be telling everyone about this hotel for years to come. Thank you for the wonderful (last minute) stay.

The breakfast buffet was delicious and offered a variety of options. The hotel was clean with lovely Christmas decorations. It was in close walking distance of all the shops, pubs and dining options in the latin quarter. They have their own parking garage and will validate your ticket at the front desk so it does not cost extra for parking. The elevators are quick! Overall, it was the nicest hotel we stayed in during our Ireland road trip.

It was okay. We got the King Superior room with skylights thinking we would also have windows for a view. Room for two nights was over $600. No windows, just two small skylights. Our friend got a much cheaper room and had a harbour view. Bed was comfortable. Staff were nice. Shower flooded every time it was used. I just feel like this place was insanely overpriced for a basic hotel. Also, cleaning staff were really loud in the mornings and started earl so that was off putting.

We loved the breakfast buffet- great variety of food and all super tasty!
We found the rooms fair sized, but the area felt quite loud with the street beside, and the walls between rooms were VERY thin- we could hear our neighbors watching TV and people shutting doors, and found it hard to sleep because of it.
We had a cleaning staff knock and immediately enter our room our first day there while we were in the middle of changing, which was unsettling and made us feel uncomfortable about leaving valuables in the room. No token of apology or any sort of action beyond a verbal apology was offered by the front desk staff.
We enjoyed our time in Galway but will definitely stay elsewhere in the future!
