Reviews for Eyre Square Hotel

Review 1：the rooms were warm the beds compy,but the carpets were dirty full of dust and hair,there was no little shower gel or shampoo in bathroom,i was very dissappointed...

Review 2：Your reception isn't welcoming, nor is the massive security guard at your door who more or less asked us what were doing here until we said we were checking in. The car park situation is redicilous, the hotel has no car park so if you don't know Galway it's impossible to find the underground Carpark. It cost us €17.00 to park our par in the hotels 'carpark' for one night. Even though it was ment to be 12.

Review 3：How close it was to shops

Review 4：Everything about the hotel was gorgeous especially the breakfast only downfall was the bar was a little cold when eating but it wouldn't stop me from staying again.

Review 6：Great location Great staff Friendly atmosphere Clean rooms Great internet access

Review 16：The location. Breakfast was good

Review 17：The carpet in our room was well worn. The walls were paper thin. Some idiot woke me up after 3am screaming and shouting at the top of his voice! The room was very cold when we arrived. One to avoid in Galway!

Review 18：Not a lot.

Review 19：Dirty cutlery on the breakfast table My knife and fork were actualy stuck to the paper table cloth

Review 27：Galway city centre is not so easy to access by car due to narrow streets and inadequate ring road. Hotel is a bit outdated.

Review 28：Hotel was being redecorated so it's getting better. Staff were very friendly. Location was great! Between bus and train station, right in the centre of the action.

Review 38：what a nice place to stay just off Eyre Square, made my stay in the west a great one . taking into account bad weather,and a security incident great time was had by me

Review 39：Room very small double bed was beside a pillar on one side there was a stink of sewage in the hotel

Review 40：Galway was lovely . Hotel well located . Weather was bad with storm but still enjoyed galway

Review 41：The only let down is that the hotel still has one designated smoking room on the first floor which was adjacent to our room so the smell of smoke was quite unpleasant.

Review 42：Great breakfast selection! Had pub grub on one evening too, the chicken wings, chicken burger and steak sandwich were delicious! I asked to have a bottle of chilled prosecco on arrival which they did for me. The staff couldn't be any more helpful and were very courteous. The night security made sure we were staying in the hotel which made us feel really safe.

Review 44：Location was excellent, I have stayed at this hotel many years ago with ny husband yet again the stay was enjoyable, tho this time I was with a friend we notice the hotel was looking tired and was please its in the middle of a refurbishment.

Review 49：The noise level of people staying in hotel. Party in room next to us, kept us awake half the night no answer from 24 hour reception when I tried to complain. On our departure we were not even asked how was our stay. Will not stay there again

Review 50：The location

Review 51：I liked every thing.

Review 52：The hotel had the room ready within a half hour of my arrival even though it was an early morning flight in to Shannon.The breakfast was excellent.

Review 53：It's a cosy little hotel, you get what you pay for but the hotel, facilities and general everyday equipment is stuck in the 70's.

Review 54：The staff were quite nice and the location is perfect. The coach and bus services and only meters away as are the shopping centers, attractions and park.

Review 59：I found the piped music in the breakfast room too loud (choice of music not giving a relaxed feel) Having moved out of the room there was some other piped music plus the clattering of staff going about their activities in the bar area. Poached egg could have presented better on plate

Review 64：Central location close to everything I wanted to see in the city

Review 65：The furnishings in the room were shabby but they were under going refurbishment at the time we stayed and a lot of noise from workmen but we did understand it was mid week and the work had to get done.

Review 66：I enjoyed the central location and the cleaness. Even i experienced the room a bit okd fashioned - i could totally enjoy my stay. Wifi worked out very well for me.

Review 67：The side view on the outside of the hotel didn't look great..rooms were quite small and the view from the hotel window was also very poor as it was full of dumps and rubbish.

Review 68：Reception looked well and the outside of the hotel.

Review 69：the room was very warm and could be noisey outside if you wanted a quiet stay but we didnt notice it as we were out alot

Review 70：very nice and helpful staff . well located in eyre square close to everything . enjoyed the stay good value

Review 71：Breakfast wasn't that great & the bar wasn't entertaining enough great big bar area going to waste. Didn't like the smell of the food getting cooked coming into our room because of the vent.pigeons outside dirtying on window sills, old mattress & bins was our view

Review 79：It's Central That about IT

Review 80：Didn't like the breakfast. It was luke warm. On the first day wasn't given a menu. The second day we went else where for breakfast. The third days breakfast was a bit better but it still wasn't very hot. It was very noisey in the mornings with the delivery vans.

Review 81：Liked the location and the staff were helpful

Review 82：The only thing few marks on the wall, looked dirty. But it wasn't just tired looking no other complaints

Review 83：Great location, great staff. Good value for money cosy hotel

Review 84：The room was really dirty and really run down. A lot of work needs to be done here to make it worth staying in.

Review 85：The location is very good. Only one or two minutes from the train/bus station

Review 86：As a writer, who had gone to Galway to specifically give a reading on Friday night, I was up early on Saturday morning to catch the early train back to Dublin. In the breakfast room, one staff member didn't answer me when I said 'Good morning'. She was a foreign girl who seemed to be engaged in a personal issue - I think she had mislaid something. Another girl, an Irish girl, was more friendly, but failed to notice I had no milk on my table. I had to go looking for this on a different table. And neither did she tell me that, if I wanted toast with the full Irish Breakfast, I had o get this myself. I had to go and ask about this. And then, not once during my meal did she return to ask me if everything was okay and if I needed anything else.

Review 87：Wifi not always working perfectly. Just one key per room.

Review 88：Near to bus- & trainstation & Eyre Square, very fine breakfast, friendly staff. Nice & cosy interior (hall and bar/restaurant)

Review 89：Gave us a room beside the kitchens (great view :/) Bed was really hard, and the window had been left open so the room smelled like a chipper. No room service available and all the food stopped at 8.

Review 90：Level of noise from street was horrendous, parking in expensive public carpark and problems with toilet not flushing properly in our room

Review 91：Breakfast and staff were nice

Review 92：Bit of mouldy bread at breakfast. Otherwise the food is very good. Small bit of noise from main street.

Review 93：Great central location with parking available for 6 Euro per day, only 200 yards away. You can come and go as you please without buying another ticket.

Review 94：We had a comfortable room and it was clean and everything worked but it's beside main square and street noise was horrendous until 3 am so be warned at weekend.Also walls are paper thin so noisy neighbours can be a problem

Review 95：Breakfast was good not a huge choice but freshly cooked to your liking and good service.

Review 96：There was a smell coming from the kitchen in some of the rooms which is unpleasant.

Review 97：The location is perfect for central Galway, I like the little things like mugs instead of cups and nice coffee in the rooms

Review 98：Was waiting for few minutes in the empty reception area to check in while the duty manager and bar staff were trying to figure out the tv channels in the bar. When I eventually got their attention, the receptionist also appeared and asked how they could help. Would not have been an issue if anybody had apologised for not noticing me, or for delay. Would have liked to see a hair dryer in the room but not a major issue.

Review 99：Lovely clean room, great shower, overall clean and tidy looking hotel, in general friendly staff.

Review 100：Bring earplugs unless you're going to be out until 2am. Also, drivers, there is no parking and no stopping at the hotel. They offer a discount in a nearby public car park but find out in advance which one it is or you'll end up being sucked up by the city's traffic and end up in the wrong one. Breakfast (not included in our standard rate) is an adjoining business on the street. Terribly dated for 2015, their refurbishment means new tiles and no hooks fir towels.

Review 101：WiFi worked well and the water pressure in the shower was good.

Review 102：Excellent location and friendly staff. Also good to have services available like laundry and dry cleaning. Staff was always available for questions.

Review 103：The noise outside from the heating system woke very early 5.30am and could not get back asleep - look for a room front facing to avoid this

Review 105：there was nothing to dislike

Review 106：staff very friendly and helpful, hotel room lovely and warm,value for money,near to town hall theatre pubs and restaurants

Review 107：One major problem, At breakfast the staff dropped my breakfast on the floor in front of me, picked it off the ground- went back into the kitchen & came back out to hand me what was my breakfast which had fallen on the floor. The egg was cracked & had bits of dirt on it!

Review 114：Receptionists and breakfast staff very friendly

Review 115：After reading a few bad reviews was a bit worried about our stay but we went to see for ourselves and couldn't get over how wrong some of these reviews were..staff couldn't have been more accommodating,the place was very clean and was also in the middle of renovations but didn't interfere with anything the breakfast was great and the location is Absaloutely superb I will gladly be staying here again

Review 118：Breakfast was a little chaotic and crowded for my taste, but a small matter.

Review 119：Lovely, comfy lobbies, location, bar and service. I lolled in front of a fire on a rainy day and enjoyed a book. Ennis is a treat and this hotel was close to all the sights.

Review 120：I requested a quiet room. I do understand the hotel is located in one of the busy places in Galway. My room was so noisy . I felt I was asleep in Eyre Square Park . The rooms need updating and all windows should be at least triple glazed. My room stank iof stale smoke.

Review 121：Staff, bed was comfortable and breakfast was very good.

Review 122：The place was a bit messy when we arrived - used glasses and dishes in the hallways. Rooms were clean enough though.

Review 124：Some smell of paint as they were in the midst of a redecorating project.

Review 125：The staff were very friendly and helpful, room was clean and comfortable, though a bit small.

Review 126：Taking into consideration that the hotel was being refurbished (which we didn't know before hand), the noise from the band playing in the bar was unacceptable.

Review 127：Location was great and so was the food.

Review 128：hotel was in middle of renovations, walls are thin and we were two floors up and could still hear music from the bar next door below us

Review 133：Staff great and very professional. Breakfast lovely. Great location for town centre all within walking distance.

Review 134：Rooms were small and extremely stuffy. When we got to our room the bed sheets were gruby and the head board fell off when I sat down on the bed. The PA system from the bus station was sounding right into the room so we were well informed of all arrivals and departures throughout our stay...

Review 135：Other than the location, I couldn't say an awful lot more!!!

Review 136：Nothing except the pillows.

Review 137：The friendly homely staff especially Receptionist Aoife and waitress Lucia Location 4 minutes walk from the Railway Station.
