Mountain View Guesthouse
What a lovely guesthouse! It is spotlessly clean and quiet, and Patricia is a welcoming and gracious host. She prepares wonderful breakfasts each day. I highly recommend Mountain View if you want a Galway-area stay, a bit outside the city.

Leonardo Hotel Galway
The discount at check in wasn’t explained we couldn’t use it for breakfast. And the room temp was over 25 c the entire time. And I killed two bugs in the room

Citypoint Apartments
The unit was modern and surprisingly spacious. Location was also excellent with the Latin Quarter just a short walk away. All-in-all excellent accommodation. Highly recommended.
