Galway Oyster Hotel  

Comfortable beds. Good shower. Very plentiful and tasty breakfast which was very good value. Friendly and efficient staff. Free wifi.

Entrance area was very drab and creates a bad first impression. Room overlooking a graveyard ( would ask for sea view if returning). Lack of wardrobe space.

Nice room and staff. Breakfast was lovely buffet.

Was a bit far out of Galway.

Room was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very nice.

Reception good. Accommodation comfortable and clean

Two people (at least one drunk) kept us awake from 3.00 until 4.30 while they argued loudly. I think the man at reception but without success.

Rooms are beautifully decorated with fabulous wetroom showers. Spotlessly clean, very friendly helpful staff.

Ceremony room could be less commercial looking (is quite obviously a conference room), cooked breakfast was not appealing, but the selection of alternatives kinda made up for it!

Staff made a great effort to accomodate our needs re breakfast etc as we had to leave around 6 A.M. to attend a family funeral. Much appreciated and very disappointed we had to cut our trip short.

Most friendly staff i have ever met in a hotel.My husband and i really had amost relaxing week end at the Oyster.Food and service was excellent.Cant wait to go back.

Please put up sign for hotel on the main street, as we drove around for 20 minutes trying to find hotel

superb value for money lovely staff

nothing

Did not like been wakened by loud music all night

Right in the village of Oranmore, you could walk to resturants etc..

The breakfast was very poor, very small selection and luke warm and being kept warm from 7.30am.

The location was great and facilities and cleanliness were good

Nearly everything. My room was spacious and very comfortable.

I had to drive to Oranmore from Galway city.

We were leaving early in the morning to catch a flight to the Arran Islands. We asked for a packed lunch instead of breakfast. They gave each of us a sandwich, a foot long roll filled with chicken and salad, an apple, a pear and a drink. It was enough for two lunches and was excellent. Full marks.

Nice staff good value

The fact that only open wardrobe space and no shelves for clothes. Breakfast poor quality (kept hot too long).Shampoo and shower gel very poor quality, The fact that there is no lounge area to relax in while having a drink away from the dining areais a big minus

location & price

Not that much there very basic

The restaurant was on top of bar also there was no barman working.Said there was a casino didnt see one

I didn't like driving past the Ramada encore hotel three times, trying to find the Galway oyster hotel, only to give up, go in and find this was the Galway oyster hotel. No notification of name change on booking, not a single sign or message that this is the Galway oyster hotel- shocking. Staff weren't exactly very bothered, " do you want to see the manager?" being the response. It was if they had heard similar complaints many times. The while site was a bit of a shambles, in a state of transition I guess, but I wouldn't have booked it if known. Breakfast was a shambles, no milk, no bowls, all very unsatisfactory. Oh well, live and learn, it's nit like there aren't many alternatives.

The staff were excellent and all of them went out of their way to assist us. Sea views were beautiful. We weren't able to access the balcony in our room and they immediately changed our room to one with balcony access. The location was close to the ocean and there was ample free parking. Buffet breakfast was good. Accommodation was basic but given the cost it was very good value for money. Would definitely stay there again and recommend to others.

The hotel is in a great location for the races. It is centre to Oranmore which is a lovely part of Galway.

The hotel was slightly difficult to locate due to the signage but not that this was a huge issue. The rooms were not ready when we arrived at 2.20pm although advertised available at 2pm. The wooden floors in the room were a little cold to look. The room itself was quite dirty including the quilt on the bed and the white curtain. The lighting in the bathroom was very very dim. The chair in front of the mirror in the room was badly stained and wet with oil. This made access to a mirror difficult as the bathroom was so dark you could only use the one in the room.

Very nice and friendly staff, a nice and restful stay

Peaceful we loved it

It was in good lcoation for the bus going to the Galway races.

The hotel was just ok, room not ready 2pm as suggested on website. We did not spend a lot of time in hotel but had asked for a bucket of ice and Iron/ironing board which we had to call back about twice as they did not arrive.Showers were terrible, no pressure at all and stopped 3 times within the space of ten minutes, not sure if this happens on all floors but definatley the 3rd.

Great location. Great parking facilites. Food excellent.

Lighting very poor in rooms. Also very stuffy. No air conditioning or fan.

Hotel was clean and staff friendly. Was near enough to Galway city.

The wooden floor and decor took from the room I thought it made it look and feel more like an office. The bed was quiet low and uncomfortable. I my opinion the hotel bedroom which I was in was not built with comfort in mind.

Handy location for galway races
