Lock in a great price for Hotel Meyrick – rated 8.6 by recent guests!

to get started.

The location of the hotel and it's historical past is what attracted us to book it in the first place. The hotel is connected to the train station in Galway, and was originally established in 1852 as The Railway Hotel. We took the train from Limerick to Galway, so its location was perfect for a trip where we could leave the car at home. It is also right on Eyre Square, where the Christmas Markets were set up at the time of our stay, and within walking distance of all the main sites & streets in Galway. What we loved most about our stay was the friendly staff. Everyone was so helpful, polite and accommodating. The service was to a high standard and appeared effortless. The mark of excellent hospitality!! The hotel is classic in design with a modern twist. Bed was super comfy and good size bathroom. We also enjoyed a lovely breakfast, which we ordered to our room.

Barbara, Ireland

Location was excellent—walk anywhere in center city.

Joseph, United States of America

Lovely clean going back in time to a downtown abbey era very nice furniture and loved the old picture in room and floor lamp bed so comfortable wow

Liam, Ireland

Staff at front desk and restaurant where we had lunch (upstairs) were awesome and very helpful. My sister was given a spacious and luxurious room upgrade (we were celebrating a milestone birthday and her being cancer free, so very kind of the staff to acknowledge in such a manner). My room was also lovely. Rooms were very quiet, although right on Eyre square with all the hustle and bustle. It was a short walk to the tourist center and tour companies to book day trips by bus and when we returned to Shannon by bus, the bus station is literally right next door.

Marta, United States of America

We had really big room and it was very comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helped us with any questions we had.

Ak, United States of America

Top notch hotel with every need met. Mary at bar helped us get acclimated to Galway City layout and she makes great cosmopolitans. Lots of history in this hotel and fabulously decorated. Self serve Irish breakfast was very good.

Ellen, United States of America

The staff especially Margaret was exceptional! We will definitely be back and will recommend it to others traveling to Galway.

Kathleen, India

Good location; parking was nearby, if not very secure (but it's Galway, so that's fine).

Overlooking Eyre Square, the elegant Hotel Meyrick features the No. 15 On The Square restaurant and free recreational facilities. Its spacious and elegant rooms have free internet, and there is Wi-Fi in public areas.

In the center of Galway, the Hotel Meyrick is just a 1-minute walk from both the train and bus stations. The dock can be reached in around 5 minutes by foot.

You can take in magnificent views of the city from the hotel’s gym, hydrotherapy baths and outdoor Canadian hot tub. Other recreational facilities include a steam room and monsoon showers.

No. 15 On The Square Restaurant is on the lower ground floor and is open nightly, featuring classic food and design. The Gaslight Bar & Brasserie provides the same standard of service that is slightly more formal, and is open for lunch and dinner, and also features cocktails and a comprehensive wine list.

This is our guests' favorite part of Galway, according to independent reviews.

This property also has one of the top-rated locations in Galway! Guests are happier about it compared to other properties in the area.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.5 for a two-person trip.

Good, stylish room though no safe or fridge and very small cupboard for clothes hanging. We were upgraded to a suite but didn't like it, too dreary and no practical so opted for a smaller double room which was much more practical. Good sports facilities like gym and steam room. Very helpful staff.

There was a lovely atmosphere as soon as you walked into the Hotel. The lobby was nicely decorated for Christmas. There seem to be a buzz about the place. Also the Hotel has history and it’s very convenient for traveling to Galway on the train. It’s in a great location to Eyre Square and the shops. The Christmas markets were on our doorstep as well.

“Wonderful hospitality at this classic Galway Hotel”
- • Leisure trip

Can't really fault this trip! Would have been nice if there had been a swimming pool, although the Jacuzzi & Canadian hot tub on the roof of the hotel were a welcome treat. Just another note, the TV in the room was quite old and didn't have many channels. It would be good to have options for movies or Netflix, but this is only a minor observation - as we mostly were out & about enjoying Galway city shopping, nightlife & breathing in the sea air in Salthill. Looking forward to visiting again some time in the future.
