The breakfast was great and the room was equipped with everything we needed. The bed was comfortable and decor was stylish. The parking arrangement was very convenient for us as well as we had a rental car.

We liked how friendly and accommodating the staff - both front desk and housekeeping - was! They kindly and promptly met our requests for additional towels, blankets, help reaching our car rental agency and other needs for our 6-night stay. The lobby was very welcoming with plenty of seating, where we enjoyed drinks and tea service several times. The breakfast was excellent with menu choices and a buffet of other options, and we felt looked after by the attentive wait staff. Finally, the location was excellent, in the midst of the Latin Quarter and within easy walking distance of Galway's westend.

We loved our stay at House Hotel and were greeted by our concierge Jenny, who gave us an excellent overview of the downtown core and provided tons of suggestions for places to each and drink. Throughout our stay, Jenny and the rest of the staff were great giving us suggestions of where to go. The hotel also offers afternoon tea (at extra cost, but totally worth it), with a selection of desserts, and sandwiches.

Perfectly located and parking wasn’t too far away. The bed was very comfortable and the room was spacious. Free breakfast was included and the front desk staff were very kind and helpful when asked recommendations.

Good location near the walking street. The breakfast had a good selection of buffer items and make to order. Staff was very nice and helpful.

The friendliness of the staff was great! The location was terrific! The breakfast was delicious!

The best part of this hotel is LOCATION- 5min walk to the docks for Aran Island tours. 5min walk to Quay street entrance . 5 minutes to a HopOn bus/taxi depot . 20 min walk to Salthill. Stayed in Galway before and this Discounted garage parking option was THE best deal ever. 5minute walk to the car garage. Breakfast inclusive was a wise choice too. About 5 menu options or the standard buffet.

Breakfast was okay—selection and buffet. Prepared to order.

close to downtown and very well maintained. the staff is very friendly and helpful

Great location, room surprisingly quiet thanks to the shutters. Lovely staff.
