Was a great stay! Really laid back but still stylish, modern and clean. Couldn’t get better location wise. If I were to return to Galway it would be to stay in The Residence again!

Tara Mundow

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The rooms are so cool and we loved the location. All staff we met were very professional.. The current climate with covid 19 has changed everything but we felt very safe in the hotel/bar.

Deirdre Nicholson

Hotel was lovely really liked the decor and location of the hotel. Staff were friendly and welcoming. First day breakfast bag was great with the porridge but we didn't like breakfast bars they were chipboard. An option of a scone or something would be nice instead of muffin every morning. Our tea and milk was not replenished when towel and bins were changed didnt know if i had request that...i would recommended this hotel and would stay there again.

Stayed three nights at the Residence Hotel this week. The hotel was spotless and the staff very friendly.The staff went out of their way to accommodate for anything we asked for. The room a bit small but was lovely, the beds were so comfortable the bathroom was very modern. I was surprised that there were no shampoo or conditioner. I’ve recommended to my family and friends as the location is magical. The bar and restaurant 1501 serves great food and cocktails and the staff were so helpful and friendly. Looking forward to going back.

Hotel guest

Chris and the other guy at reception were both lovely, they were very welcoming. The room was very nice and the Dyson fan was very welcome as it was quite hot. Unfortunately the shower was very poor, maybe I was just using it wrong but it was very weak and not hot. The breakfast bag in the morning was a great touch. This is my 2nd time staying here and I would stay a third

A fabulous location right in the heart of the Spanish quarter. Our room was beautiful, warm and very clean. All staff were so friendly in the hotel and the 1520 bar next door. We loved the fact that breakfast was served 10.30 - 16.00!!!! Good food as well. We would throughly recommend The Residence Hotel and intend to come back again

Hotel guest

The wifi was down most of the time and we had to go elsewhere to get some work done during a storm. We were looking forward to chilling by the fire. It seems the system may be bit antiquated and perhaps it's better to use a system where you enter a password once instead of logging in every time. Other than that, the Hotel was very comfortable and cozy and service exceptional.

We had a fantastic stay here! All staff are more than friendly from the receptionists to the night porter. We arrived early and there was no problem in holding our bags, we were even checked in 2 hours before check in. The room was perfect - comfortable and modern. Loved the bathroom! The breakfast bags were a really nice touch also. Overall a great stay and will definitely be back again.
