The House HotelSpanish Parade, Galway (Show map) Excellent, Score from 155 reviews“The decor of the reception area was pretty inventive and attractive. The staff were extremely helpful and accommodating. We didn't have food there, so can't comment on that.”

Lack of basic information in the room, eg check out time, breakfast times (we were told this at check in, but had to borrow a pen & write them down), location of thermostat (hidden by standard lamp), what to see & a map of Galway & surrounds (restaurants, bars etc) would have been useful. On our booking we were told we would receive 'a bathrobe & slippers for 2 persons' we did not get any.

I liked the decor was very cozy and relaxing. The food was very nice in the restaurant, and breakfast the next morning was excellent. Enjoyed a few drinks after dinner in the very relaxing bar. Next time will stay for longer. Even though its located on a busy street you could not tell this from inside the hotel. Staff very friendly and made u welcome as soon as you arrived, especially the receptionist Shame they dont have their own parking, especially as its a one way system and was raining very heavy on day of departure

A beautiful little hotel. Our room had just been remodeled and was very, very nice. Even a row of different outlets (euro, north american, etc.) in the wall just above the desk. The location is perfect. A great value., If you don't know exactly where it is (we didn't), It could be a challenge to find. Well worth it, though. Just plan ahead.

Shussh! don't be telling everyone it might become too popular and too difficult to get a booking PS Interesting, nice and helpful night porter/barman Absolutely nothing.

I knew that it's location was excellent but I was impressed by the value and especially delighted by the service. It's sooooo lovely to have your breakfast served to you and to get eggs that have been cooked to order. Terrific. The room was smallish. If we had been staying for more than one night we would have liked something a little more spacious. Clean and comfortable though.

It was/is very welcoming, luxurious, beautifully designed - extremely friendly and accommodating - very nice and helpful staff. We were upgraded to a de-luxe suite at the same price as we had booked our room initially. Very warm, wonderful beds, great breakfast!

The hotel is beautiful and we have been in there many times, Our only complaint is being told that all the tables are reserved for Christmas functions which when I asked the people next to us and they were not staying in the hotel. Thisis not right if we paid for a room we expect to have some were to sit this is our only complaint as the lady was very abrupt and basically we were told tough.... THIS WAS SUCH A SHAME

Great location close to Spanish Arch, but off the main street. Within 10 minutes walk of the railway station. Rooms are clean and modern, beds are comfortable. Staff are polite. Prices are reasonable compared to other older hotels located in less central parts of Galway. Have stayed at the House Hotel four times. Generally cannot fault the location, price, or the comfort of the rooms. Unfortunately on two occasions the hotel was hosting private functions in the bar below the bedrooms, since there appears to be no dedicated function area elsewhere in the hotel. The rooms are poorly insulated, so the sound from the bar is clearly audible even two floors up. If the hotel concentrated on accommodation alone, I would highly recommend it. Unfortunately it is currently a lottery as to whether you will get a good night's sleep, or be kept awake until 3am.

I Loved the decor and feel of the place. The location is perfect for shopping and night life. I only ate breakfast, which was included, it was very yummy. very hard to fault The House hotel.One criticism I do have is that I heard great things about their cocktail bar however when we returned from our night out at 1pm I was told cocktails were not made at this time, which may be fair enough, but as a resident I was disappointed. Also, almost 7 euro for 3 small pancakes at breakfast seems quite expensive to me but luckily breakfast was included in our stay.
