1. Citypoint Apartments

Galway City Centre

"This was a very clean apartment in an excellent location very close to the city centre. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The only thing that could have made it a little better was a roll of paper towels (which we bought and left for the next guest!) and some kind of shelf or anything to put your things on in the bathroom— especially in the shower, you have to put everything on the floor. Otherwise we loved it—especially the availability to do some Laundry!!"

Ashford Castle

Cong

10/10 Excellent

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...

10/10 Excellent

We had short but great stay. Pearce welcomed us and gave us all the information needed to be comfortable. We got in around 7 p.m. on a Sunday and he directed us to where we were most likely to find a good meal. The room was very comfortable. We had three and the room fit all of us well. We had not included breakfast, but it was no problem adding it and it was quite good. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to any looking for accommodations in that area.

Stunning apartment. The pictures online don't really show what a beautiful place this is or what a great location. The only issue we had was that our reservation code didn't work so we had a hard time with the automated check in. We did finally get a call back and they were able to help us get checked in. There is not enough parking for everyone, but we were able to park outside the gate both nights with no issues. The door keys will time out at 10:00 am so if you are not completely out you...

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...

Kinvara Guesthouse

Kinvara

10/10 Excellent

The Kinvara Guesthouse is a jewel. It's big-city lodging in a small, cozy Irish town. It's the kind of town one sees in Irish travel books and brochures. Parking is available in front of the guesthouse, on the street, essentially. They have an elevator (lift) which was a big help for my wife (and me with our luggage). We had a huge room on the second floor with a view of the "plaza" in front of the guesthouse. The bathroom was more than adequate. Our only complaint is that there were no wash...
