Lock in a great price for The Residence Hotel – rated 8.5 by recent guests!

to get started.

Excellent location right on the street where everything is happening, and next to Spanish Arch. The restaurant and bar were under refurbishment and the hotel communicated in advance and made us a great offer to make up for the slight inconvenience. Reception (all shifts) were very friendly. Parking is easy and right next door as well. I will stay here again.

Ashwill, South Africa

Perfect location, right in the Latin Quarter. Decent size room. Modern decor and in room facilities good

Owen, Australia

Staff were excellent, rooms are fantastic. Also very clean, housekeeping everyday. The best thing about this hotel is it's location, bang in the middle of everything and it's so quiet in the rooms with all that's going on outside the hotel.

Seamus, United States of America

Location was the only good thing about this property.

Vivek, India

The decor, bed was comfy and it was in the middle of everything!

Hina, United States of America

The residence Inn is right down the street from the spanish arch and in the middle of a bust Galway street which was a perfect location for sight seeing. The car park was just right around the corner.

Stephanie, United States of America

Great location in the middle of the Latin quarter! Beautiful room

Boy was this a surprise package. A trendy new dig for a hostel in the heart of Galway. Highly recommended

Andreana, Australia

We had a lovely stay in this hotel. It is in an excellent location. The bedroom itself was SPOTLESS. The beds were really comfy. The decor is lovely. The girl Julie who checked us in was very helpful and gave us a lovely room (as I asked in an email prior).

The location couldn't be more ideal. Julia was a great help.

“Clean, modern, and fun!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉The only downside was the morning trash collector's noise. I know the hotel is in the middle of a party street so I didn't mind the sounds of night revelry, but be prepared to hear lots of bottles breaking as the trash is collected. For a LONG time, very early in the morning. Not the hotel's fault at all, but travelers should be ware!
눇I loved all the new upgrades to the hotel. Everything was clean and new and modern and felt very fancy. I loved that there was a pub downstairs with a great vibe. The staff was all very friendly and efficient.

눉Street noise. Trade off for a very central location, right in the thick of it on a very busy street, with ongoing noise well into the AM. The windows did little to keep the noise out. This is probably the only downside.
눇Perfect location, right in the Latin Quarter. Decent size room. Modern decor and in room facilities good

눉There was a renovation going on. It was very noisy. There was mud coming out of the taps. We had to change 3 rooms. Hotel never informed us of the ongoing renovation. Nor did they help us with the water issue. Extremely bad experience.
눇Location was the only good thing about this property.

눉It is right over the bar scene and it's super loud, even with windows closed its very loud. And there is no AC so it can get warm. Parking is off site around the corner for €10 a nite. And it isn't easily found as it's on a pedestrian street.
눇The room was very nice, post modern chic, furnished well, mattress fantastic and loved the nespresso cafe.

눉The inn is still undergoing renovations so I didn't feel completely finished to me. Also, the staff tells you that it's not loud, but that a lie. The inn is right next to a lot of bars so you will hear people drinking all night long. I liked the location but others may not.
눇The residence Inn is right down the street from the spanish arch and in the middle of a bust Galway street which was a perfect location for sight seeing. The car park was just right around the corner.

눉Very noisy. We had no idea construction was going on next door. It started at 7:30. We are all light sleepers so didn't sleep well. Also could hear the kegs being loaded off the trucks. I guess the Restaurant was being worked on and scheduled to open Friday. If I had have known I'd have booked elsewhere.
눇Great location interns of being near everything

“Good and bad!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉You should not book here if it is a quiet peaceful hotel you want. The bar was closed, but I can imagine how loud it would be if it was open. We weren't bothered by the outside street noise, as we were at the back. However, the noise we experienced was from poor sound proofing between rooms and the hall. I could hear people very clearly in our bedroom. Another comment is the cleaning staff left broken glass for days on our floor (hall), that and loose cleaning bags, just thrown on the floor. We didn't have hot water for close to 24 hours and so we endured cold showers, as the person on reception couldn't do much for us, only offer apologies. That definitely left me a bit grumpy on check out.
눇We had a lovely stay in this hotel. It is in an excellent location. The bedroom itself was SPOTLESS. The beds were really comfy. The decor is lovely. The girl Julie who checked us in was very helpful and gave us a lovely room (as I asked in an email prior).
