Top Knocknacarra Hotel Reviews

The Ardilaun Hotel

The Ardilaun Hotel

8/10 Good
"Lovely hotel - great to be in Galway. Friendly staff, all extremely helpful, really enjoyed everything about it. Room quality was very good (when you eventually found your room - it's a bit labyrinthine). Only fault was the WiFi - it was non-existent !! Still, had good food and drinks there. Deffo recommended- assuming they fix the Wi-Fi"
