Harbour Hotel

Harbour Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely stay at the Harbour Hotel in Galway! It's in a quiet area by the water but a super short walk to the center of town and everything you'd want to do. The room was clean and well-maintained, and the bed was one of the comfiest and largest I've ever had in a European hotel room. My husband and I have a king sized bed at home in the US, so we usually expect a downgrade when we travel (which is fine), but not in this case! Happily surprised!"
