    Our "suite" dining area
    Elizabeth A.

    Like other people, I have no idea how this is considered a four-star hotel. I travel roughly 150 days a year for business. I am fortunate enough that I'm normally put up in very nice hotels such as the Ritz Carlton, La Meridien, the Saint Regis, etc... While traveling through Ireland, I have stayed in the Westin in downtown Dublin, Powerscourt in Enniskerry and Sheen Falls Lodge in Kenmare. All of those are five star hotels. Park house hotel in Galway would be lucky to be considered a two star hotel. Other reviewers have said it is very old and outdated and musty smelling. All I can tell you is that upon arrival, my asthma got so bad that I had to ask to switch rooms. Needless to say, that did not help. When you turn on the heat or air conditioning in your room the smell that comes from it is obviously from years of never having been cleaned. The hair dryer in the room is something out of 1950. Please see my photos! The light switches for the bathroom are outside the actual bathroom which is fine. Getting used to that in Ireland. However, the shower is only about 2 feet wide and my husband is 6'4" and 230 pounds and does not fit. The tub even though I would never use one in this day and age, it's very long but very skinny. Even though we have a "suite" the room is just far too old and far too outdated to be considered a four-star hotel. Everything about this place is antiquated and not in a good way. Our suite has double beds instead of a king bed. Please heed my advice and stay elsewhere.

    Staff greeted us when we came in and were very helpful when setting up our room. Love the layout of the place bar and restaurant we're near parking was easy to access as it's right out front of the hotel. Bedroom was a bit small but still nice love the bathroom. Had food at the bar downstairs because you were too tired to go out and the food there was top-notch. Bar food and hotels always scare me but this is some that I would eat again. We got Ham and mushroom fried balls chicken wings seafood chowder and goat cheese balls. I'm always afraid to eat into bar menu so we stuck with the starters and we were impressed. Breakfast was buffet style but just as impressive. Smoked salmon cheeses pickles croissants and much more. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

    Lovely older hotel within walking distance to train and bus terminals. Room was very large and comfortable. Close to restaurants, pubs and shopping area. The only thing that kept me from giving them 5 stars is the lack of charging ports in the guest rooms. I didn't drive, but if you do, they have their own .

    Our suite had a dining room

    Absolute first class experience all the way. My husband raved about their pre-checkin communication with him and the staff were so warm and welcoming from the moment we got there. They actually held an open upgraded very large suite for us knowing we were checking in early after flying overnight. So appreciated! Old world pristine elegance is how I'd describe the decor with little extra details everywhere that give a very comforting feel. Just gorgeous! Our package included a cooked to order breakfast each morning and dinner the first night we arrived. Our dinner consisted of several courses with multiple options for each course. My entree was steak & prawns and fabulous! It was one of the best dinners of our entire vacation. Walkable location to all of downtown Galway and parking onsite - if the space is tight & makes you uncomfortable, they expertly park for you. We absolutely loved this hotel.

    I loved this place. Old school elegance and charm abound. Sure she's got some age on her but I'm telling you she's holding up very well and will win you over as soon as you walk in. So well appointed, so meticulously maintained, from the art work on the walls, the quaint lobby seating, the polished brass chandeliers, this is one classy place. Formal but in a casual way so that you feel at home instantly. We sure did. The staff was super friendly without exception. Anxious to ensure you were enjoying your stay. We got a room upgrade and it was awesome. Spacious, well appointed and amazing for a European hotel. Can't vouch for the standard rooms but this one was excellent. Breakfast was included and ranged from a cold buffet to a full Irish breakfast. That was great! Location could not have been better and everything was an easy walk. Highly recommended!

    Cyndy's Bottom Line: Great location! *Good location to the city centre *Located near bus and stations *Includes full Irish breakfast or buffet of cereals, fresh fruit, croissants, scones, yogurt, selection of juices... *Clean rooms *Comfortable bed *A/C control in the room *Friendly service *Elevator *Parking *Near pubs *Centra convenience store across the street

    Park House Hotel, room 214

    Great location, just off of Eyre Square and practically a 2-second walk from the train and bus stations. I was greeted with the warmth of a long lost relative just found. The staff here is SO NICE! I arrived a little early and was seated in the lobby and served tea and fruit bread while waiting for my room. The wifi was trouble-free and FREE! My room was very nice and full of amenities: not limited to a trouser press and tea/coffee set up with cookies. The bathroom was great, tub was nice. I would stay here again in a heartbeat! I opted for the prepaid breakfast room (which I believe entitles one to free parking, but check to make sure). The breakfast served was good - options for hot meals and also lots of cereals, yogurts, fruits, and juices to choose from. If you're into gourmet breakfasts, maybe head out to try somewhere else but if you like convenience, get the package. I hit the hotel bar my last evening and had an awesome time. The bar tenders were too much fun, and combined with the locals hanging out, it made me really feel like I was in Ireland. Only downside was that the place is a bit noisy between the other occupants and the bus terminal right on the back of the lot (I was in room 214 - a "Superior Room w/breakfast") - the bus terminal noise was ONLY noticeable during the day -BUT this was completely minor and nothing that would ever keep me from returning. I was simply surprised.

    So I'm not exactly sure how many stars to give the Park House because it's a 4-star hotel in terms of amenities and service, but it should get top marks (5 stars) for being the BEST that a 4 star place can be! Reasons to choose this hotel: location, the aura of peace and luxury that will sweep over you upon entering the lobby, spacious rooms, delicious restaurant, wonderful breakfast, good value for money, parking, free wi-fi, excellent service. The Park House sets the standard for an excellent city hotel - luxurious without being cheap and cheesy, efficient and spotlessly clean. It's not a new hotel by any means, but it does have that Victorian air about it that makes it all the more charming. Well kept and centrally located on Eyre Square, I don't think I'd stay anywhere else in Galway but here if I returned. Of note, breakfast is served in a beautiful dining room with a continental buffet (excellent scones and croissants) and then choice of a hot selections, including a full Irish. Coffee was topped up swiftly without request. There are about 6 bars within view upon exiting the hotel. Enough said.

    Seafood Chowder

    Park House Hotel is an iconic Institute in Galway that has been offering top service and facilities for over 40 years. The hotel is located in the heart of Galway city and although its an old hotel it has continually upgraded the facilities to maintain a modern feel. The staff in the hotel are incredibly attentive to their patrons and guests from those who simply pop in for a coffee to those guests staying in the hotel. I have been to the restaurant many times over the years and have never been disappointed by the quality and level of service. On this occassion we arrived for dinner whike they were serving the early evening dinner which was offering 3 courses with coffee or tea for $33. The menu wasn't a very restrictive selection either with each course having a choice of 10 plus. I decided to choose sea food chowder as an entrée. The chowder was incredible and came accompanied by a beautiful selection of breads. The sea food chowder was incredibly fresh and creamy. For the main I opted for steak. The sirloin steak was cooked well done and served with vegetables and a potato. The portion size was incredibly hearty and the steak was cooked beautifully. The potato was served with sour cream. I found it a little flowery and dry even with the cream. Only critical point I would have. For dessert i just choose fresh fruit salad. I was too full for anything else. At the table some others choose chocolate cake, Toblerone cheesecake & sorbet. They were all presented beautifully. Dessert was served with coffee or tea. Top quality meal and priced incredibly reasonable for a top quality hotel. Great service and the restaurant is bright, inviting and not overly crowded or loud.

I was a last minute add on for one night on my husbands booking. But no hassle at all upon check in. Apparently the old part of the hotel it's simply fabulous. But on this occasion we were in the new part of the hotel. But to be honest, even though the room was a bit small, it was very comfortable. And the bathroom rocked. Fabulous bath and water filled up in quicktime. I love baths and we don't have one at home, so I wallowed and wallowed long. In the bath. Bed was very comfortable and cosy. I slept in, so missed breakfast - I cannot comment on that. Definitely recommended. I look forward to returning to the Hotel Meyrick.

The rooms feature a lovely seating area and period style decor. The pants press was hit for one of the members of my party since they love everything to be freshly pressed. I adore the location as well. Located right in the heart of Galway and walking distance from just about everything (that is unless you are lazy and don't walk much). There is a wonderful breakfast here as well. I would highly recommend the Meyrick to anyone wishing to stay in Galway. On a side note, the main level guest bathroom was slightly creepy; there is wallpaper that features these odd victorian faces that stare at you.

    Of all the hotels I stayed in Ireland, this was my least favorite. The room, upon first look, was…read morenice and spacious. I liked the wardrobe storage, the desk area, and the additional area for storing luggage. However, there were a few things which made me feel like details were being overlooked and the accommodations were outdated. The real reason I can't justify more than three stars is that housekeeping came into my room when I specifically requested they didn't. I was woken up by knocking on the door and then before I could say anything, they opened the door. I thought this was incredibly strange since I had the do not disturb sign out. Not only that, but you are supposed to request housekeeping with a different sign so why they were coming in at all is confusing to me. I still had the do not disturb sign out the door when I left and upon returning, I noticed some cups had been replaced so they definitely came into the room while I was gone. That didn't make me feel very comfortable. The first towel I went to use had a giant hairball stuck to it. Definitely not mine since I hadn't even used the towels yet. After that, I felt like everything must be dirty. The bathroom also seemed really retro to me and not in a quaint way. The toilet was difficult to flush and the shower pressure wasn't great. Not to mention, the half glass in the shower drove me crazy and no matter how careful I was, the floor would get wet. The rest of the hotel seemed to be falling apart a bit. During my three night stay, the lights of one of the elevators were out the entire time making for some awkward rides with fellow guests. The handle on the front door of the hotel ended up breaking towards the end of the stay as well. Unfortunately, someone got sick on the stairwell and it took the staff until the next morning to adequately clean it up. The location, while fairly central, was a little off the beaten path compared to other lodging options like the Leonardo. I would've much preferred to stay there and will be avoiding Harbour Hotel during future visits to Galway.

The room had washcloths, AC, and a fridge with water which is not always common in Ireland. The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of town. The bar area was nice although when I tried to add a tip to my credit card the bartender told me it was pointless that they don't get it. The beds were comfy. Overall nice hotel.

    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!
