Top Galway Hotel Reviews

Glenlo Abbey Hotel

Address: Bushypark, Galway, Galway, IE
Location: Kentfield
Star rating: 5/5
Guest rating: 9.4/10 (703 reviews)
Review: This is a stunning property with very professional and friendly staff. There is a beautiful perimeter walk on property, around the golf course and grounds which can include the lake (~1.2-1.5 mile circuit). The food in Palmer’s bar was fine, we liked the chicken supreme quite a bit and the wait staff, especially Derry, was wonderful. Lovely nooks like you’ll find in the lounge are perfect for reading and having tea. Breakfast was an amazing and almost decadent experience. Three downsides to be..., by Julie, October 11, 2024, rated 10/10 Excellent

Location: Cong
Star rating: 5/5
Guest rating: 10/10 (541 reviews)
Review: I don't think it is possible to rate Ashford Castle as anything less than a full 5-star experience. In fact, if I could give it six stars I would. The level of customer service is so far above and beyond the call of duty it almost takes your breath away. Yes, it is expensive. But it is truly worth every penny. From the moment I pulled through the gates I knew this was a special place. It reeks of luxury...in a good way! Be sure to take advantage of the amenities. If you can only do one thing, do..., by Sarah, June 8, 2016, rated 10/10 Excellent
