We stayed here for a hen party and couldn’t recommend The Hardiman enough! The staff were beyond attentive, kind and wonderful to chat too. As the organiser of the hen do, I’d noticed that the communication with the reservations team coming up to the day was exceptional and this continued throughout the stay. A big shout out in particular to Ciara and Aoife for making our stay all the more enjoyable! The rooms were clean, beds were super comfortable and breakfast was a great spread! We also had dinner in MacNeills the night before the hen do and again, the food was incredible. The hotel decor is stunning and provided the perfect backdrop to the many photos from our event! I also highly recommend the brunch + flower crown workshop experience in The Oyster bar, we had a lovely and super fun time there! Thank you again to all at The Hardiman, the team are a credit to their business!

Everything was pretty good. The hotel is dated in a quaint sort of way! Very characterful but with all the necessary mod cons. Staff marvellous. Heating just right.

Just very minor items which I would generally classify as 'it's not you, it's just me" The breakfast warming trays did not keep the food very hot especially tomatoe/mushroom unit which was practically cold. Could be an eyesight issue but room number written on card didn't stand out. Again eyesight! but elevator floor indicator not easily visible - indeed was expecting an audible announcement. Floors were a bit creaky but it felt like home. Ended up paying €10 on the parking, not bad, but didn't see it mentioned anywhere. Got at least 15 emails about the booking, which didn't give me any further useful info - made me jittery whether the booking was made or not!

Fantastic location, a few mins walk from the train station, right on lovely Eyre Square. Very close to shops, lovely restaurants, bars, theatres. Taxi rank nearby for Salthill etc. Staff were very nice at checkin. Room was a good size, tho bathroom was a bit small and lacked surfaces to put eg toiletries. One member of staff stood out- Katherine, who looked after us with a lovely cuppa (even though the kitchen was about to close!) when we returned from the Town Hall Theatre. We really, really appreciated that. Breakfast was ok, a few things let it down... very few vegetarian options (no veggie sausages, though staff did bring oat milk on request), no explanation that poached and fried eggs were available (we happened to notice them being brought to another table), but the brown soda bread was lovely and tasted home made. Would definitely come back here, it's so convenient to the train station and Galway centre.

Bathroom- a bit small and lack of shelving for toiletries. Breakfast - see above.

Overall, we had an amazing time at this beautiful and centrally located hotel that is just steps from the Royal Mile. We got a complimentary upgrade to a suite and the room was absolutely lovely. Staff were friendly, everything was very easy.

Small lobby (just because the building is old and wasn't originally designed to be a hotel), and a lackluster bar meant that it wasn't very tempting to hang out at the hotel outside of the room. The weather was beautiful but I can imaging if it were rainy we would have liked a cozy hotel bar to sit in - the one in the hotel was very dead, very expensive, and the bartended actually went somewhere else to make our drinks (I assume the restaurant).

What wasn’t to like, all of the facilities were immaculate. The location is perfect close enough to be a part of the Galway experience, but still with enough privacy. The bed was exceptionally comfortable and one of the best nights sleep on our holiday was had here. The staff were all amazing, extremely friendly and made our stay seamless. The were incredibly accommodating with our very early check out departure they ensured car was ready and kind enough to supply coffee and some small snacks for breakfast. It was an absolute pleasure and we hope to return to stay again in the future.

The location was perfect for our trip, as we were walking distance from everywhere that we wanted to visit. The rooms were comfortable with the most insane water pressure I’ve ever experienced! Breakfast was convenient and had a really good variety of options. Staff were friendly and helpful.

The decor was traditional but could’ve done with a bit of TLC, as was slightly tired in places. That was the only thing I could fault. The bathroom had a tendency to steam as there was no fan.

Loved the Victorian Charm and character of every room ! The furnishings and decor was a mix of period and modern and tastefully done .Breakfast in the Bistro had an excellent selection of dishes as well as a menu of other choices . We had a room overlooking the Main Street but we could not hear any noise because the windows were double glazed . Central location overlooking Eyre Square .

The only irritation was the long walk to the city car park .

The location is excellent! I also really appreciated the discount for parking. I like that they had both shampoo and conditioner (small detail) and grooming kits in case you forgot anything. The bed was mostly comfortable. The breakfast was decent.

I really didn't like that there is a coffee machine at breakfast but we were not offered to order a proper coffee. We were given bad, bitter filter coffee where we both wanted a double espresso. I also really dislike when hotels use powdered eggs at breakfast instead of fresh eggs. I know it is cheaper but it makes all the difference for the guest instead of having rubbery eggs. There's also a terrible smell near the bathrooms for all guests on the first floor. This was on the way to our room so it drifted down the hallway. I assume it's from the plumbing which probably cannot be helped but it doesn't make for a pleasant experience. Finally, while I appreciate the discounted parking, please don't advertise that you offer parking when you don't actually offer parking.

Deco friendly welcome and good service in the oyster bar

Overall liked and would come back. Just some small areas that did not meet my expectation but things can not always be perfect Got missed for ordered breakfast and had to go find someone to order. Ordered the avocado on toast was not good needs to be made simpler i.e no salad or salad on side, fresh avocado without to much mixed with it avoid soggy bread. Maybe one sun dried tomatoes or a fresh one. Other breakfast bits i tries were lovely. Better communication for the parking. never got the voucher for reduction on booking out tho mentioned on booking in. needed more toilet roll in room

Room was a bit cold - had to call reception to turn on radiator. Towel was dirty and had to have it replaced. Empty paint pot outside room to collect water from leaking roof. Otherwise location was brilliant, food great and breakfast excellent - staff were friendly and were very helpful

dirty towel, cold room, staff mistakenly stated no gluten free breakfast but on further enquiry was treated excellently and brilliant breakfast.
