Easy location to Galway city and access to lots of shops and restaurants. Friendly staff, clean and quiet rooms and comfortable bed. TV could be bigger and remote didn’t work but weren’t there too watch tv so not a bad thing.

Nice, clean property, but weird they don't have coffee available in the lobby. Although the hotel wasn't full, they wouldn't let us check in early. Other than that it was decent. Approximately a 20 / 25 minute walk to the downtown area or between 7 and 10 euro cab ride.

We had a very pleasant stay at Maldron Hotel Galway. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The breakfast was very good, with a nice variety of options to start the day.

One of the highlights was the free parking, which was a great convenience and added value to our stay. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the overall experience was smooth and enjoyable.

Overall, a great stay, and I would happily recommend Maldron Hotel Galway to anyone visiting the area.

The only thing I would say negatively is don’t book breakfast. We had booked breakfast, my husband and I both thought that it wasn’t worth the price, scrambled eggs were cold, sausages were cold didnt have bacon as it was very greasy looking. A continental breakfast might be the option you could go for, but not sure if there are different prices for breakfast?

More real chairs needed as there are two of us travelling. A working fridge to chill some wine and other perishables would be welcome.

There seem to be a lot of unnecessary security doors that made ingress/egress cumbersome.

Having bus access to Eyre Square was a handy alternative to a taxi before 6pm. Having the Spar convenience store nearby offered handy fast food choices

Staff were very helpful in explaining how to book local tours online without running into (two factor authentication - text message) restrictions ---great!!!!!

Okay room except the walls seem very thin. Could hear the voices and bumps from neighbouring rooms. The person in the room next door flopped on their bed and it shook our bed. Also found the “gym” lacking. It’s not really a fitness center, more like a room with a few pieces of equipment. It doesn’t open until 9 am which makes it useless for people wanting to work out in the morning before heading to work.

Spent four nights at this busy property. Located on the Headford Road, it is conveniently located beside a service station, a Dunnes Superstore, Penney’s/Primark, and Tesco. Just a 15-minute walk to City Centre restaurants, etc. A generous breakfast buffet with a wide selection of hot and cold options. Really nice and helpful staff. My only annoyance was with the acoustics, maybe I was just unfortunate, but on two of the four nights I happened to have really noisy next-door neighbors – one night it was a really loud man who carried on a hours-long conversation at shouting level, he was replaced the following night by two guys trying to outtalk each other at increasing pitch, it stopped around midnight so wasn’t too bad.

Breakfast was simple, would have loved little more variety of vegetables but overall it was good for value. Handy location to use if you are driving in/out if Galway and still want to experience Galway city. It's 20 mins of walk with pavement all the way.

The hotel benefits from a convenient location, close to the highway, city centre, and shops. It also offers free parking and reasonably spacious rooms.

However, the carpets appeared stained and worn, and improved cleaning under the beds would be advisable.

It is also somewhat surprising that a business-oriented hotel with conference facilities has a gym that only opens at 9am, as many guests are typically already working or have left by that time.

Rooms were bigger for a cheaper price than what you would get closer in but you have to balance that out with taking a bus (10 minutes) or walking (24 minutes) into town. You are essentially staying in a mall for there are plentiful retail options (but you are staying in a mall).

It was conveniently located: 20 minutes walk to the city center and 7 minutes walk to Galway Shopping center. It was 10 euros by taxi to the city center bus stop. We had dinner at Gatto Rosso at the Square and coffee at Cafe Nero. We did 2 bus tours: one was to Cliffs of Moher and Burren; the other was to Kylemore Abbey. Both were excellent.
I would highly recommend this hotel.

The only downside was how cold the room and bathroom were despite having the heating turned up as high as it would allow. We had to keep our coats on when not under the duvet. However, it was winter and when we stayed previously during springtime this was not a problem.

Be more comfort on a concrete floor. Should start putting in the email itinerary for guests to bring ibuprofen to protect their backs.

The room was very clean and spotless. The hotel staff were also great when we were checking in and out.

This was the first place we didn’t have to pay for parking since arriving to Ireland. The hotel had onsite parking both around the building and under the building. There were lifts to accommodate those unable to use stairs.

One downside was that we didn’t want the house keepers to clean the room while we were away as I’ve had things stolen in the past with that. They came in and cleaned even though we didn’t leave the sign on the door to refresh our room. Nothing was stolen or touched and they did do a good job cleaning up, but still would like my privacy to be protected.

When we mentioned it we were told to try turning on the ac to circulate the air. This did not work. Hours later the smell was strong as ever an made it very difficult to sleep. The shower dripped at night as well. The nexf day upon check out we again mentioned the overpowering smell and were told it was antiseptic spray or possibly air fresher used by the cleaning staff. Simply said they would mention it. Would not stay again or recommend

Not enough plugs near the beds for charging devices. Need more pillows. Bed making is abysmal! Short sheeted at tip and cif you are going to use flat sheets, housekeeping needs to use hospital corners. For a 4 star hotel, I shouldn't have to remake the bed when I try to get in it! Bottom sheet came off completely and I was looking at the bare mattress. Former housekeeping staff for 5 years and we were trained for this. Do better please!!!
