Parking is with the hotel so that is great. It was easy walking distance to the touristy area of Galway.

Located on Galway's picturesque waterfront, Harbor Hotel offers modern rooms including, air-conditioning, free WiFi, bluetooth speakers and onsite car parking. Galway’s lively center is just a 5-minute walk away. The rooms feature cable TV and complimentary tea and coffee for guests. They also provide a private bathroom with free toiletries and a hairdryer. Dillisk on the Docks offers a contemporary restaurant and bar for casual dining. A full bar menu is also served from 1:00 to 21:00 with live sports on large-screen TVs. The Quay Street shopping street is just 3 minutes’ walk from the hotel, while Salthill Prom is 10 minutes away on foot. Both Corrib and Eyre Square shopping center are a 5-minute walk away.
