Stayed here for the Volvo Ocean race. Delighted with the location, room, service and breakfast. Walking distance to everything. Would definitely go back.

We enjoyed the stay in the room and also breakfast very much. Excellent value, nice room with a great bed and pillows. Close enough to walk to city center. Was on the side with busy road and it was a little noisy, but did not keep us awake.

great time

A friend and I stayed for one night at the Harbour Hotel. The reception was pleasant, room clean and a decent size, breakfast plentyful and tasty. My only small objection was that there wasn't a noticable sign for the hotel car park. Just beside the hotel is a carpark with a sign saying "Parking for patrons only" so I parked in there. Then after a couple of hours I asked the reception desk just to make sure that I was parked in the right spot and was told that I was not parked in the hotel car park, but in a public city car park. Made me wonder about who the "patrons" were! Anyway I was directed to the correct car park but it was not obvious without the directions that this was where the hotel car park was. I had to pay for parking in the public car park as well as paying the next morning for parking at the hotel car park. Anyway that was just a minor thing and everything else was as you would expect for a 4-star hotel.

The hotel was in a very good location, rooms were small but clean and tidy. Staff friendly, would stay again.

Stayed here at The Harbour Hotel on a busy Friday night and was very impressed by the whole experience. It is in a great location, only 5 mins walk from the heart of the city centre. The staff were very friendly, the rooms were well laid out and extremely comfortable. The buffet breakfast the next morning had a huge variety to choose from and was very tasty. Breakfast is served until 11am which is great for a lie in and with checkout not until 12 noon, I could not recommend this hotel enough.

Stayed in the Harbour hotel for one night recently. This is a lovely hotel, very clean and comfortable. The staff were more than helpful and so so friendly. reasonably priced too, so overall we enjoyed our stay.. Will definately stay in the Harbour Hotel again.

A very well placed hotel, a few minutes walk takes you right to the centre of Galway, but yet manages to shut out most of the street and traffic noise. A few minor things are all thats needed to get to being rated (by me) as superb, eg a few biscuits on the tea tray in the bedroom, a clock radio would be a useful thing, less clothes on the beds (i know they're easily removeable) as the rooms are well heated. Overall a great value hotel for the location.

I am such a fan of this hotel - a gang of my college friends and I go to Galway for a weekend every year and we have always stayed in the Harbour. This was our 4th time staying there.. Upon arrival the check in is swift and problem free. Since our previous stay the rooms have been redecorated and are nicer than ever. Our bedroom this time even had a 2 seater couch for us to enjoy (even more reason to get breakfast delivered to the room!!) The bar food is served till 10pm and I can highly reccomend their sausages and mash and carmelised onion gravy.. Delicious and very reasonable for €11 (I think!)... With it being a weekend the hotel was quite busy with hens and stags so the hotel bar was busy enough, good for the creation of a bit of atmosphere... Location is excellent... Walking distance from town... We stayed 2 nights and I have to admit that I am already thinking about when our next trip to Galway will be... The only negative that I can come up with about this hotel was that the cooked breakfast could have been a little warmer (but the roomservice breakfast was perfect.. moral of the story... get them to deliver breakfast the next time and it'll be warmer!! ) and that we had to pay for the carpark this time... The cost of €8 per night is steep enough seeing as you have already spent the whole weekend in their hotel... surely it should be at least half price or even better free for their guests!! Overall though I just really like this hotel, the staff are very friendly and they cater for your every need... I'll definitely stay there again...

I thought this was going to be hotel that would be a bit special. But alas i got it wrong booked a triple room as we were in town for a hen night. There was three beds in the room as you would hope but my god you could bearly stand any side of the bed and there was no way two normal people could pass each other anyplace in the room. Then there was the noise, i dotn know what kind of windows they have but you could hear every word that was said outside on the street below, its not that the pwople outside had raised voices or anything but still you could hear them. The best thing about this hotel was definately the breakfast it was savage. They need to do something about the size of the triple rooms or else not offer them, and definately do something to the windows.
