    Glenlo Abbey Hotel - Room 9/2025

    Stunning hotel located 15 minutes from downtown area. The Glenlo Abbey was a former church and…read moreestate with over 140 acres. I wish we were able to enjoy the hotel a little longer. We were able to explore the church and the bars. There are multiple bars including a lounge with a live piano player. The staff is so kind and welcoming. From checking in, providing us with a tour of the facility to bringing our luggage to our room before we even got there. Once we got to our room, there was complimentary chocolates, coffee, tea, water, and Irish biscuits. Typical of many hotels but this was next level. The coffee was nepresso with Irish shortbread cookies. We have our option of sparking or still water. The box of Glenlo Abbey chocolates was such a nice touch too. We booked the bed and breakfast option through Hilton. Unfortunately, we had an early flight and had to skip breakfast. At checkout, the front desk brewed fresh coffee and served us on a beautiful tray with milk and sugar. Not only did they make us coffee, they helped us with our bags all the way to our car. Truly a magical experience.

Driving through the gates and down the path, to the right a gorgeous green golf course teases you to play, while on the left..a castle awaits. I was like, pinch me, is this for real?! The grounds and hotel were absolutely GORGEOUS. The service was amazing -all the employees were helpful and friendly. Trying to get our luggage to our room was a bit of a struggle as there were stairs to the lobby and not an easily accessible elevator. But, there were bellhops to assist. Later upon departure, we found a way to get our luggage to our car. Stunning Victorian décor throughout the hotel. Many beautifully decorated lounges. Taking a stroll- the hotel had a live nightly piano bar, movie night, Palmer's restaurant, a reservation only train car restaurant, and a buffet and made to order breakfast room. We were very pleased with our room. Noted mixture of vintage and modern details in our room. Appreciated the complimentary daily water bottles, slippers, and daily cleaning service. A nice touch was the hand written card with chocolate dipped strawberries and chocolates, all addressed to us. Love love.... Every morning, the buffet breakfast and made to order were amazing! Estelle our server was fabulous and kind. She listened and wanted to make sure we enjoyed our food. A shout out to Raed, the manager. On our last day, we hoped to have a table by the window for views, since it was never available the other days... we mentioned this to Raed, and he went above and beyond to make it happen. He seated us at table in front of a window with views of the golf course, in a separate room entirely by ourselves!!!! Thank you : ) What a beautiful way to end our stay. The concierge- Cyril and Ruadhan were outstanding! Helpful, friendly, easy to talk to without any pressure. They both helped make suggestions of places to check out and gave us maps. Took a pic with Ruadhan : ) Glenlo had complimentary bikes to rent which was nice. But, we talk a nice walk around the property - approximately under 2 miles. You'll come across a pond with picnic benches. We enjoyed our stay here and it's definitely close to downtown Galway by car. I would definitely come back!

The Hake Fish was incredible and Red Lentil Dahl was very good! The Thai Vegetarian Curry was a bit bland and the vegetables did not seem that fresh. The Beef Blade was all right but it needed more flavor, and several people in our group asked for horseradish to add more flavor. The desserts were very tasty! Overall, the food was very good! The servers were very friendly and helpful.

Lovely reception team Do NOT recommend the food! * The bar -- poor service & short staffed. Five different staff (over 2 days) behind bar counter told us not their job to take drinks orders as they were supporting the restaurant (& to wait for a mythical bar-person...). * The breakfast-- big buffet options. Sit near window if you want any service. Cannot make soft boiled eggs & bring after breakfast is done! Do not get breakfast included. Most things were cold & so many options in Galway. * For weddings -- gorgeous venue & lovely post church spread. But DINNE was a big letdown. My table had worst vegetable soup of our life at a wedding here -- tasted like they had not made enough & watered it down. No flavour or seasoning. Pity as delicious at bar night before...& look at porridge consistency of their risotto . Salmon was watery & over cooked. Asparagus was watery & boiled to death. Crumble was soggy due to creme anglaise -- but so little argument on our table about whether there was even any on it. Highlights were the champagne pomegranate mint sorbet & chicken vol au vent.

    Too small and too hot to be comfortable…read more Our room is too hot sleep in. We complained about how hot the room was but front desk said they only have 2 or 3 rooms with A/C (is that true??). They said to use a supplies fan, so we have the window open with a noisy fan, but it is still very hot and the fan is super noisy. Our room is also incredibly small. We barely fit in here with our luggage. It's really small!! We asked if we could upgrade to a larger room and they said "no"... our room has a "standard layout" (again I am questioning if I am being told the truth). Also, they gave us an accessible room with a bathroom that has no enclosed shower/tub and then claimed that was a standard room for the hotel (once again feeling like I'm being swindled). There is also no sink space or shelf to place toiletries of any kind. We feel very cheated for a room that was much more expensive than the nice hotels we stayed at in Dublin and Killarney. Positives: Location is great and enjoy the attached pub.

    Located in the Latin Quarter, the heart of Galway. Such a convenient and lively location!…read more A smaller hotel with an elevator if you are bringing a lot of luggage like us. We stayed here for a couple nights during the week. We were worried about the potential noise however the live music stopped at around 11pm so we had no complaints there. Perhaps the noise is longer on weekends but we didn't see it as an issue during our weekday stay. The room was clean, and had complementary water bottles. The TV was also great and allowed us to sign in to our Netflix and YouTube for streaming on the big screen. The room was on the smaller side but enough space to at least open up our big luggage and carry on. We got discounted parking as well from the hotel, which helped as parking in the city was expensive. Did not get the chance to visit the bar in the hotel in the evenings but we heard really good live music!

    Jurys Inn, now The Leonardo, is in a perfect location to explore Galway. Walk out the door and…read moreyou're right in the action with countless shops and pubs. The price tag for the hotel rooms, as other have mentioned, is definitely due to the location. It can't be beat. Breakfast is okay, with a selection of eggs, sausage, bacon, cereal, breads and a coffee machine. Small variety of fruit and yogurt as well. The rooms are absolutely tiny. We booked a family room and not sure what happened...the pull out couch barely fit our two young children and left zero space in the room. The bathroom was also small and had limited space even for towels, let alone counter space. I booked through Priceline, which I will never do again because our reservation was completely messed up. They didn't have the right number of people or the included breakfast reflected in the hotels reservation system. The front desk staff couldn't have been kinder though and sorted it all out rather quickly. If you're just a solo travel or a couple the rooms would be sufficient and it would probably make for a great home base during your time in Galway.

    It is now called the Leonardo Hotel Galway. It is over priced for what you get. It is an…read moreoutstanding location but aside for that it has nothing going for it. It is poorly managed, dirty and uncomfortable. In our room the soap dispenser was empty for more than two days. They never replenished the coffee. Milk or bottled water. Staff was pleasant but obviously understaffed and over worked. Never again is what my spouse said and I echo that!!
