My friend booked this hotel for us and I was delighted as it looks like a lovely hotel! The website pictures are true to what the hotel is like! Really lovely, clean, modern but with a funky twist. The bedroom was lovely and clean and so was the hotel in general. This hotel would have made 4-5 stars if these... More

The Hotel is very cute, I love the sleeping cats outside the door. And the do not disturb sign has a picture of a cat sleeping. On it. The breakfast sign has a picture of a cat eating on it. The bathrooms could have a seal on the doors to ensure privacy when using the bathroom. The rooms were clean... More

Great central location, easy walking distance to the main streets. The room was spacious, and the modern decor made this hotel stand out from the crowd of traditional Irish Inns. The staff was exceedingly friendly, and the breakfast was great! We opted for an early night after a full day of hiking Connemara, but wish we would have tried the... More

I went to the House Hotel for dinner with a big party (around 30 people). They had a 3 Course Dinner for €24.95. The food was really good. I had the homemade soup as a starter (it was a creamy leek and potato - very tasty). For my main course I had chicken with smoked bacon & thyme stuffing and... More

Got an amazing deal on this hotel in January and what a little gem we found. The staff are so so friendly and welcoming. We had both lunch and dinner here and they were delicious. The cocktails are fab too. It is very centrally located only about 5 minutes walk to the main street. The room was warm clean and... More

Outstanding hotel, staff, food, service. Highly recommend. We were in Ireland for an anniversary trip and didn't book most of our rooms in advance. We saw this hotel in a tour book and alson on Tripadvisor. We were pleasantly surprised that the rate was $99euros including breakfast. Parking is close for a nominal charge. ALL staff were the best!!!

For first time visitors to Galway, the location of this hotel is perfect. An easy 1 block stroll to Merchants Road's fun pubs, restaurants, shops. The lobby is a bit Alice in Wonderland, and dated, but the rooms do not reflect the same. They are pleasingly mod, small and decently appointed. This was our first encounter with energy-saving lighting—the key... More
