Hotels near National University of Ireland-Galway (UCG), Galway

Checked in to the hotel on 1st day of 2020, staffs were nice and friendly, however there are still some pros and cons for this hotel. The hotel was quite far from the city Centre it takes approximately 20 Minutes of walk, for those who doesnt want to walk may take a bus which will take u around 5 minutes for 2 euros. However, amenities are good it does provides what a hotel is supposed to give, room was big and comfy the bed and pillow makes me don’t wanna get off the bed. Staffs were very helpful I asked the receptionist to print some document for me and he printed it out for me in Juz a few seconds. Overall it’s a good hotel for couples or people who have car or doesn’t mind walking to the city Centre for 20 minutes, which I am

Our staying in this hotel was excellent. The experience was different to the other hotels in Ireland, the room was large, very clean and elegant. The breakfast was fabulous and varied. The hot food is varied and made fresh for you as you request.

Classic B & B in an old and charming house but with updated rooms that are bright and comfortable. Our room was well layed out with plenty of closet space for luggage and clothes. The bed is super comfortable. The bathroom is quite big and the water pressure in the shower is superb. We did not realize the innkeepers are twins until first breakfast in the morning when both were serving customers together. We had to do a double take. It is very cute. The breakfast was ample and of good quality w/all the components of a hearty Irish breakfast. The staff is constantly replenishing the hot dishes, fruits, yogurt, etc. It fueled us so we could go on and start the day filled with touristy activities. Someone commented on how small the dining room is but we found it to be cozy. We never had to wait for a table and we went down at various times during our stay. We walked everywhere from the B & B and it was super easy to get to the town square, the old town, good restaurants, bus station, train station plus the stops to be picked up by all the day trip operators. We would have no reservation in recommending this fine establishment to our families and friends.

Nice hotel. We had a family room which was grand for 2 adults and 2 kids. Plenty of space. The rooms though are a little old and run down. Location is fine, less than 5 mins from Eyre square. Breakfast was good and the staff were very nice. As I mentioned the hotel rooms need an update.

What a lovely location, a gorgeous hotel and the swimming pool was great with the added bonus of an outside hot tub overlooking the sea. My room was 631 with a large king bed, desks, adequate bathroom with bath and shower, seats with table, desk and TV and all the usual facilities in a hotel room. No sockets by the bed though which is something all hotels need to have now but that was the only criticism of the room. Staff where lovely, helpful and friendly although I give 4 stars as check-in didnt happen for 10 minutes due to no staff being at the reception, no idea why but it got sorted OK. The hotel is clean, the room was clean, well presented and very welcoming. I had breakfast which was the normal cooked breakfast buffet, toasts, pancakes, breads, cereals, tea or coffee, juices with plenty of seating options and a view of the sea. The staff were great, the food was good and the atmosphere relaxed. The view gives you a great start to the day. I used the pool which was great. Some families there with kids, a swimming lane, working steam room, sauna and heated jacuzzi. The outside hottub is amazing. It is a must do at this hotel. It was raiing on my stay so the outside tennis court and kids play area werent being used but its worth a mention that they have these. Location feels remote but its only 5-10 minutes from Salthill and Galway by car. There is a petrol station beside the hotel on the main road and a small village. I guess you access the hotel by car, taxi or bus.

A very overdue review but didn’t want to not leave it. Had a lovely stay here in May. Staff were so kind and helpful. Room much bigger than expected (family room) and very quiet – even when we saw a raucous looking hen night setting up and then didn’t hear a squeak from it all night. Lovely pool and whilst there were lessons going on we still had ample space to swim and change. Really enjoyed our stay and felt it was well priced for the standard. Only con is that the buses aren’t as regular as hoped especially through the weekend so we had to take more taxis as expected as town was a hefty walk away (and hire car prices seem to have gone crazy in Ireland!). But will come back for sure. Thank you!

The deciding factor in choosing this hotel is free parking. Facts have proved to be very wise. What is surprising is that the hotel facilities are very sophisticated and the breakfast is delicious, especially the smoked salmon. About 30 minutes walk to the town, the hotel reception lady is beautiful and enthusiastic, and helped us book a 2017 Michelin restaurant to eat raw oysters. It was great, and it would be difficult to eat without a reservation.

Staff were very friendly and courteous. Breakfast was excellent. Bar decor lovely.location is right in the heart of the city. Loads of pubs, bars and restaurants. I would highly recommend Eyre Square and a stay in the Victoria Hotel.

Modern hotel which is easy to find if arriving by car on the edge of the city. Plenty of car parking Nice outside area to enjoy a drink or meal A good breakfast It’s a €15 ride into city centre Front desk were ok on check in - not exactly welcoming and all a bit robotic Typical business hotel with banging doors starting at around 7am The shower towels are the size of large hand towels which is always a disappointment when staying at a hotel The bar/eating area smells very strongly of cooking/frying in the evening which means that the kitchen needs better ventilation Not a bad stay but just a very modern faceless hotel

We had a very nice time at the Hyde Hotel in Galway. It is very centrally located which was helpful for anyone without a car. It was also just a 3 minute walk from the train station, which was very convenient. All the staff was very helpful, gave us recommendations on things to do and places to eat. We got the Bed and Breakfast option, and it was definitely worth it. Their breakfast was delicious, we especially liked the pancakes. Our only slight disappointment was that our room did not have A/C, but the window did open to get fresh air and they had a fan in our room which helped. We would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Galway.
