Harbour Hotel

Harbour Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The Harbour Hotel in Galway is extremely well situated. We were able to walk (with luggage) to and from the train station. Also, the walk to the heart of the city is about 5 mins. The room was large, comfortable, and had all the amenities one would expect including a small fridge. My wife and I would stay there again."

"On the minus side: Location is in a semi industrial area so not close to Galway shopping and nightlife. Internet connection was not working so front desk gave me an admin password. Coverage was spotty. On the plus side: restaurant was very good and breakfast was excellent selection. Hotel was clean but hallways are very dark."
