Top Spanish Arch Hotel Reviews

The Western Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was very clean. I loved the location. It was very close to everything."

Leonardo Hotel Galway

8/10 Good

"The location is the best part of this hotel for sure. Right at the start of quay street- main walking district area. Parking garage was a very tight squeeze."

The Dean Galway

10/10 Excellent

"Great rooftop restaurant and bar with another restaurant bar on the main level. Hands down the best gym I have ever used in a hotel !!"

Skeffington ArmsHotel

10/10 Excellent

"We were extremely happy with our stay at the Skeffington Arms. The receptionist welcomed us warmly and graciously, answered our questions, showed us where things were on a map, and suggested restaurants and shops. Our room was lovely: clean and spacious with all the necessary amenities. We were surprised when we received extra towels and toilet paper every day, even though we didn’t request them. No other hotel has ever done that, in Ireland or anywhere else in Europe. That was much appreciated, especially when we returned at night from tours. We enjoyed a freshly cooked delicious breakfast, and what we didn’t finish we asked to be packed for us, as we had to meet a tour bus. We stopped by the adjoining bar/restaurant, which has live music nightly until about 1:00 a.m., and were happy with the cocktails and our meal. We highly recommend The Skeffington Arms and will be delighted to book lodgings there again. Oh! The hotel’s location on Eyre Square is perfect for getting to all the main attractions, restaurants and train station. The Skeffington Arms is a gem!!!"

Harbour Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely stay at the Harbour Hotel in Galway! It's in a quiet area by the water but a super short walk to the center of town and everything you'd want to do. The room was clean and well-maintained, and the bed was one of the comfiest and largest I've ever had in a European hotel room. My husband and I have a king sized bed at home in the US, so we usually expect a downgrade when we travel (which is fine), but not in this case! Happily surprised!"

City HideAway

8/10 Good

"It was ok"

Kinlay Hostel Galway

8/10 Good

"Another great stay. My second in the last year and love how organized, clean and quiet the stay is considering its in the heart of the city. Keep doing what you’re doing! Highly recommend. And LOVE the overnight oats!"

The Galmont

10/10 Excellent

"Comfy beds, spacious rooms, fabulous staff, phenomenal spa and lovey restaurant. Just outside the sometimes noisy center city but well with walking distance giving the perfect balance of quiet and access to the sites and shopping."
