The comfort, the food, the cost, the “I-don’t-feel-like-a-tourist” vibe.

Shauna United States of America

Everyone very friendly, restaurant was very yummy.

Esther United States of America

The room was much bigger than expected and it was very light and airy. Great bar and restaurant below the hotel where we had a great time watching a soccer game. Walking distance to the main roads in Galway (about a 20 min walk), but far enough away for peace and quiet. Would definitely recommend!

Rachel United States of America

We had eaten in the Huntsman about 3 years ago when we were down for an Ulster rugby game and thought it would be a nice place to stay.... we weren’t disappointed.... our room was beautiful and we had a lovely meal that evening. Service was excellent and the staff could not have been more attentive.... one night was not long enough!

Sarah United Kingdom

The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. The food was delicious! The staff were lovely. Great location too!

Marion Ireland

The rooms were so clean and the staff were helpful. It’s about 15/20 minutes walk to Galway city. The food in the restaurant was fantastic

Karen Ireland

very clean, lovely room. Below was a lovely restaurant and the staff was friendly.

Nicola Ireland

Great Food and places to drink downstairs. Lots of parking, easy to get to

Mike United States of America

The restaurant serves incredible food! The seafood chowder was the best I’ve ever had, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel like a local.

Brandon United States of America

The large and spacious room, the comfy bed & the opening windows.
