They do have a nice patio area and restaurant on site, which we did not eat at but it looked great. We stayed here for a 1 night overnight in Galway. It was a bit outside of the city center so I would only recommend staying here if you have a car, if not I would suggest something a bit closer. Was about a 10 min drive in. But far enough out if you don't want the hassle and bussle! Great hotel overall!

Some of the rooms had views of the Ferris wheels and just so you know,the amusement park next door is open on weekends so guessing it'll be pretty noisy! The bar in hotel was handy for drinks!

A quick thank you to them after my wife's car completely shut down on the highway and they all became family to help out. Epic. The hotel has a ton of eating options from high end to our nightly stop Pins with Tom, Owen and an incredible staff. They know what we want before we order!!! The food from the best seafood chowder to fish and chips (with a perfect Guinness) and just what you need to start a great conversation with new Irish friends. That's the vibe at one great hotel. Blessed to be here. Oh yeah, great large rooms and free parking. Unbelievable!!!

Please do yourself a favor and stay here...greet the cat as you walk in and take in the beautiful building.

We started the evening with their honor bar, a nice cocktail we made ourselves in their upstairs sitting room with a beautiful view out to the sea. Dinner is a preselected six course. They asked for restrictions, we had none. Attention to detail with seasonal locally procured ingredients was fantastic - example, sweet grilled leeks were a highlight and showed up in multiple variations. Delicious courses presented with attention to detail. Was tough to finish everything...rich dishes add up quickly. Our one downside was the music - not a fan of spa music. Irish ballads would've been better. Still, worth a five - a supreme effort.

We only stayed here one night, though. I really want to give this hotel 5 stars, but I'm torn. At about 9:30 pm, after taking a shower, my son was charging his Chromebook. All of a sudden, the fan shuts off, and both of our outlets are no longer working. There was no red light alerting us to a tripped outlet. My son rings the bell (which is what we were told to do in case of an emergency after hours), and no one came. After talking to our other family members, I learned that my parents' room also no longer has power. Now this is a huge problem, because he uses a CPAP machine, and he would not be able to use it without electricity. I also called the phone number on the list of instructions, and it did not connect me. I had other family members try this, and they also could not connect. We had no electricity for chargers and no fan. It was super hot in the room, even with the windows open. We ended up getting power about 6 am, but the fact remains that we were unable to contact anyone that night. On a better note, their complimentary breakfast was gorgeous and delicious. Eddie, our server, was wonderful. I would probably skip this hotel if I'm in the area again, but I don't regret staying here. I just wish we were able to have contacted someone that night and then we would have had a better night.

They provide a water craft that you can fill up at water stations around the hotel which is so convenient. It seems that normal rooms do not have fridges, FYI. A family member got a suite for apparently only $60 more, which seemed totally worth it if you'd like a fridge, larger bathroom, better view, and a couch. The breakfast was average - typical hotel buffet. Gym was impressive for a hotel and I enjoyed my workout. They also have a really nice indoor pool and outdoor hot tubs that sit on the deck that overlook the river. We drank and ate dinner at the hotel bar. This had been our favorite meal to that point in our trip. Highly recommend the After 8pm Cheesecake for dessert.

The breakfast offerings were significant (regular Full Irish Breakfast type of fare plus cereals, yogurts, pancakes, Eggs Benedict, smoked salmon/lox, fresh fruit, multiple juices, teas, and coffees) and all very good. The Carvery Lunch included a generous portion of roast, a veg, and two types of potatoes (it is Ireland, after all). We had both a regular dinner in the Dylan Thomas and the 3-course prix fix -- both didn't disappoint -- and neither did the live musician and dancing. All in all, a stellar stay that I look forward to repeating.

Our suitcases were carried to out suite while we were shown Greggan's reception, bar, reading room, (formerly fancied by C.S. Lewis and others for insporation) the dining hall, the art gallery hallways, and of course, our elegant suite. Champagne was brought to the room shortly as I enjoyed a drink and a lovely bath soak before dinner. Dinner and all meals served at Gregans, were prepared with culinary mastery and served with grace and joy from the castle's hosts. I highly recommend staying awhile as you find yourself part of the Gregan's family and become lost in it's beauty and ambiance.

Gorgeous property, stunning views from our room, friendly and welcoming staff (and awesome…read morebartenders in the cozy bar), and the food def lived up to the hype. Wonderful dinner with top notch service. Full Irish breakfast was included with our stay and was a lovely combination of self serve meats, cheeses, yogurts, pastries, fruit, granola, breads and juices plus, made to order items off the menu. Everything made in house or sourced from small local farms and producers. So, here's the shocker ...this is not a castle, it's more of a country house/estate but it is warm, cozy, inviting, and just lovely in ways a castle just couldn't be anyway. Fires in the fireplaces, little nooks and corners with comfy chairs and whimsical artwork all throughout. I would've been happy to just meander around the hotel and property for days but there is so much to see and do in the area as well. An absolute must is a Burren tour, you cannot begin to understand or appreciate the terrain in this area without learning about it firsthand. The hotel staff will happily set that up for you, we had our tour with Shane Connelly and he was as the Irish would say, a real character. He did not disappoint, the authority in the area and we enjoyed every bit of teasing he threw at us along the way, which was plentiful and great fun. If you are fragile or thin skinned don't book this one and save the good time for the rest of us! Also to note, there are two cats that live in the hotel and are given free range in specific public areas. They happily doze in the bar by the fire, oversee you playing cards or doing a puzzle and will occasionally enjoy your lap, if invited. So if you don't like cats please don't book. I travelled with someone that is allergic to cats and wasn't bothered at all but that may not be everyone's experience. I found the rescue donkeys, horse and cats to be a perfect addition to a charming property.

Highly recommend the sea chowder - my wife and I shared as a starter but quickly wished we each had our own! Breakfast was just as delicious. Overall, phenomenal hotel and staff! Cannot wait to come back!

Nice modern hotel, about 5-10 minute stroll from the ferry dock. The hotel has nice rooms with…read morestandard fixtures, and moderate bedding, and a nice/large bath. There are 20+ rooms and some have balconies. Most rates come with breakfast which they serve continental early 7am-9am, and full Irish breakfast begins later at 9AM. The hotel restaurant and bar on premise are quite good. It's a short/easy 5 min walk from the hotel to the center of town. They contract with local tour guides to pick you up if you wish to take an island tour. The front desk is pretty strict about check-in and didn't let us check in before 3PM even though we were on the 10:30AM ferry that got in around 11:30AM, but they do let you store your luggage behind the front desk. P.S. They tend to have a lot of weddings at this hotel as there are banquet tents, so be prepared for potential parties (bachelor or bachelorette) on certain weekends.
