Leonardo Hotel Galway
The hotel was in. A great spot with views of the Spanish arch and the bay. It is right at the beginning of the Latin district. The hotel was clean and the staff was great. The water pressure in the shower was a low.

The room wasn’t clean. There were left over used contact lenses in the room, probably from the guests who stayed there before.
