Magnificent Hotel with a super reception by Julie. Rooms are spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. Best central location ever and I will return!

Hotel guest

Fantastic value in an ideal city centre location. One drawback to the fixed position of the hairdryer is it doesn’t stretch to the mirror (not good for a woman or long haired man drying their hair!)

Hotel guest

Our short stay was nice. The room was large and had a lovely view looking down on the Christmas lights. The breakfast included for booking directly was not worth it - a bag left outside the room with warm orange juice, muffin, granola bar, and boil-your-own water porridge. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom a very nice size. Free wifi.

Neil McCormick

One of the best hotels we have ever stayed in and it is situated in the perferct location on Quay St. The staff were extremely friendly and incredibly helpful. They went out of their way to help us book a tour we had wanted to go on but didn't get a chance to book ahead of time. We will definitely be staying here again.

Hotel guest

We stayed in the Residence Hotel for one night in Nov. The hotel is newly renovated and is very warm, welcoming, clean and modern. We previously stayed in this hotel when it was the Spanish Arch, the improvement in the standard of the rooms is significant. The room had some really nice touches. The service was very good. The receptionists both at check and check out were very friendly and helpful. We had a drink in the bar early in the evening, the atmosphere was good with great music. The bar staff were very good. The location is excellent. The hotel does not have a car park but it uses a local car park, I recommend looking up the location of the car prior to arrival. The car park is an additional cost which is discounted (approx. 8euro for overnight stay/per night). Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend the Residence Hotel to family and friends.

Room was clean, above the pub with little noise. Easy check in and nice people at the desk. Would have liked a map to the car park before arriving, did not realize the hotel was on a pedestrian only street.

Shane Vieira

Great hotel and location - only suggestion is to make it clear to your guests that they have to find their own parking and give better directions upfront on where to park - we had no idea and got flustered looking for the hotel. Would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone!

Hotel response

Dear Shane, Thank you for taking the time to post your review and for your recommendation. I'm delighted that you loved the hotel and our very lively location. Regrettably none of the city centre hotels have car parks on site, this is due to us being in the Medieval section of Galway City. We have information on our website but I have passed your comments on to the relevant department.Please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience that this may have caused to you.

Our stay was very good. Every day the same breakfast is a bit boring.

Jacqueline McCarthy

My friend and I stayed 2 nights at the Residence Hotel in Galway. We were greeted with hospitality from the front desk attendant who gave us recommendations of where to eat and drink in center city, and things to do in the surrounding area. The night porter was also extremely helpful (and so fun to chat with!). Both the porter and the front desk attendant deserve special recognition simply for being such great hosts. There was no sit-down breakfast provided BUT we were given bagged breakfasts both mornings of our stay which was greatly appreciated. The location was perfect and very close to all the action. The rooms were clean and came with all amenities we could have possibly needed (hair dryer, clothing iron, coffee maker, etc.) Would absolutely recommend to others, and wouldn't hesitate to book again. Thank you Residence Hotel and Staff!! You made our stay awesome!!

The staff was unbelievably helpful and kind. The bar in the lobby 1520 was excellent as was the staff as well. It is on a very busy street so you feel the energy and excitement of true Galway.
