The front desk staff were very helpful. Their advice for our short stay in Galway was perfect. Our room was impeccable, and our breakfast was delicious. We will definitely come back.

(1) The staff at the House Hotel is absolutely terrific. They were very helpful and thoughtful. We don't know the name of the hotel manager, but he should get a significant raise. We saw him helping out behind the reception desk during the day; still working at night (helping to serve drinks at the bar/lounge), and then helping the staff during the morning breakfast. He was obviously leading by example, and should be commended. (2) The hotel is exceptionally clean and located in a great spot near Quay Street. (3) The breakfasts were delicious and filling.

This hotel is in a great location and the rooms are very clean. Having A/C was a pleasant surprise. It was our best night's sleep out of the 10 nights we were in Ireland! The continental breakfast is a little sparse, but the made-to-order hot items more than make up for it.

We booked three rooms and were given a suite of rooms on the exterior of the hotel. The rooms themselves were nicely appointed but there were only two bathrooms, one ensuite and the second shared between two rooms. I would have preferred to have three separate ensuite rooms as we had booked, but since a party member had already accepted the rooms, we stayed. The hotel gave us a small discount when I raised the issue, but I did not appreciate that they took the unilateral decision to alter my booking. Also, one of the TVs in a bedroom had bad reception.
The main part of the hotel and dining area were nice. The breakfast was good and the rooms comfortable and nicely decorated.

The shower has a 2 glass doors (which form the corner of the shower stall behind you), Inspite of our efforts to keep the water from leaking out on the floor, it still managed to get through. Other than the shower, the room was very nice and clean.

The room was tiny-pictures we’re deceiving! Old, dingy and stains everywhere: all over the carpet, the desk, the elevator, the chair. Ripped wallpaper, dirty bathroom floor, the thinnest cheapest toilet paper ever! Expensive, poor hotel.
