Top St. Francis Abbey Hotel Reviews

Leonardo Hotel Galway

8/10 Good

"The location of the hotel just outside of the Latin Quarter and on the river was outstanding. Overall, very nice hotel. Our only complaint was no working air conditioning and it was quite warm during our 2 day stay. Room was hot and uncomfortable. We talked to the hotel staff and they told us a local transformer had sustained damage, thus no working air conditioning. I did not challenge, but all other electrical in the hotel was operating just fine. I talked to another couple staying at the hotel and they also did not have working air conditioning. I am speculating the hotel management made a decision to turn off air conditioning given typical temps that would be expected in the Galway area during this time of year. I wish they would have simply stated this assuming this is the case. They did provide a fan and provided us with a complimentary breakfast for one of our 2 mornings at the hotel without us requesting, which was nice. I would absolutely stay at this hotel again, and would hope for working air conditioning. We stayed at several hotels during time in Ireland (across the country) and all had working A/C except the Leonardo Galway."

The Dean Galway

10/10 Excellent

"Great location! Nice service!"

Nox Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely spot, nice bar and helpful staff."

The Snug Townhouse

10/10 Excellent

"It’s right in the middle of the action on Quay Street. Earplugs are provided. But a $15 white noise machine blocked out all the noise. The front desk staff is the most helpful I’ve ever encountered."

Radisson RED Galway

10/10 Excellent

"We found the hotel clean, modern and well laid out. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful without exception. Our room was comfortable and served our purposes perfectly. The restaurants were so good we only ate in the hotel and didn't feel the need to eat elsewhere. Very happy customer S."

Eyre Square Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Location could not gave been better. Walking distance to all attractions. Great breakfast. If you are going to Galway, stay here"

Maldron Hotel Sandy Road Galway

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was very good, about a 25 minute walk into Eyre Square. Room was so spacious & beds were comfy."

The Woodquay Townhouse

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, beautifully renovated room and common areas. We required assistance with the front door and were answered immediately via WhatsApp."

The G Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay at the G. The hotel is just outside of the city center, close enough to walk, easy enough to grab a car and be there in a few minutes. There is a small shopping center directly behind the hotel if you need anything. The staff is incredibly helpful with anything you need or just to have a chat. The lounge and restaurant are beautifully appointed with nice views of lake. The food is some of the best food we ate in London and Ireland. The rooms are spacious and clean and have great space to hang your clothes and put everything away so you feel at home. We would highly recommend staying at the G while in Galway!"
