The Hardiman is not a 4 star hotel. I was warned by previous reviews about rooms facing a construction site so when they showed me a room facing a construcition site they moved me (with a very ungracious manager) to a room that was a long way from the entrance. That next morning I woke up at 8Am to a construction filling in the next room. There is not enough staff - the bartender was not friendly (and this is Galway!) and the food mediocre. The only good thing about the hotel is the location right at Eyre Square and the common rooms are nice. My room wasn't really ever clean. I asked for a porter FOUR times and no one showed up to get my bags. I stayed in this hotel 6 years ago and it has really gone downhill. I don't know what is a better alternative in Galway. My cab driver told me that the better hotels were 30 minutes away from Galway. Since I was there for the festival, this didn't make sense. Galways is a great city and Salthill nearby is beautiful. I am so disappointed with the hotel that I'm not sure I'll return to Galway again since there doesn't seem to be anywhere else to stay.

We were in a room 207 out on our own, room overlooking a building site, very little ventilation, very small, Staff in McNeills pub very overworked which led to poor service, not enough staff on, On checking out there was no record of my payment which I did on arrival in cash, got no receipt and receptionist I found not very nice not apologetic and made me feel as if I was trying to pull a fast one, We checked out but I was so annoyed I rang the hotel within a hour to see was it sorted to be told it was, but I had to ring and find out, very disappointed, Also no atmosphere at all in the hotel, Don’t think we will be back unfortunately.

The hotel is situated very centrally in Galway. The food was excellent and the staff very helpful. We booked a last minute offer on a suite and dined twice in the hotel. The room was very spacious and quiet. Really enjoyed our stay in a wonderful hotel that is respecting its heritage in the modern day.

The hotel looks beautiful when you arrive! The public areas are very plush! However, when you reach the rooms, they are TINY!!!! Not much space, so be careful which room you choose! I found the hotel very expensive and not good value for money! I thought it was geared to the American visitors! As a UK tourist, I didn’t really feel very welcome!

This is a beautiful hotel with a friendly and helpful staff. And the location is absolutely perfect! Even though it is right by Eyre Square and the bus and train station, we heard no noise at night. We upgraded to a suite, which was spacious and luxurious. The air conditioning worked very well. The breakfast is delicious!

Was sent here as our original hotel was fully booked, so we were sent here instead. We had stayed here previously about 4 years ago, and our experience then was not good. However, this time things were much better. We had a great room overlooking Eyre Square, and breakfast was varied. We slept well but it was quite hot. The Arts festival was on, so that was an added bonus. Galway is a great place. We've been coming for many years. I would give this place another try in the future, but it would not have been my first choice ...glad I stayed though
