They do have a nice patio area and restaurant on site, which we did not eat at but it looked great. We stayed here for a 1 night overnight in Galway. It was a bit outside of the city center so I would only recommend staying here if you have a car, if not I would suggest something a bit closer. Was about a 10 min drive in. But far enough out if you don't want the hassle and bussle! Great hotel overall!

Some of the rooms had views of the Ferris wheels and just so you know,the amusement park next door is open on weekends so guessing it'll be pretty noisy! The bar in hotel was handy for drinks!

The food from the best seafood chowder to fish and chips (with a perfect Guinness) and just what you need to start a great conversation with new Irish friends. That's the vibe at one great hotel.

We were able to explore the church and the bars. There are multiple bars including a lounge with a live piano player. The staff is so kind and welcoming. From checking in, providing us with a tour of the facility to bringing our luggage to our room before we even got there. Once we got to our room, there was complimentary chocolates, coffee, tea, water, and Irish biscuits. Typical of many hotels but this was next level. The coffee was nepresso with Irish shortbread cookies. We have our option of sparking or still water. The box of Glenlo Abbey chocolates was such a nice touch too. We booked the bed and breakfast option through Hilton. Unfortunately, we had an early flight and had to skip breakfast. At checkout, the front desk brewed fresh coffee and served us on a beautiful tray with milk and sugar. Not only did they make us coffee, they helped us with our bags all the way to our car. Truly a magical experience.

The rooms themselves are rather neutral in colors and furnishing with the typical features of today's hotels-bedside power ports, sleek modern bathrooms and thick fluffy comforters on a very firm bed. We arrived for our two night stay in a typical Irish misting rain and our car was immediately met by a bell captain and staff with umbrellas who grabbed the bags and escorted us inside for the handoff to the front desk. Fast talking Chiara got us our paperwork, signed us in and whisked us off to our smallish "superior" room up on the top floor. Having booked via Chase we were "eligible for a room upgrade" if available-(in my experience they are seldom available-and in fact I'm always a bit skeptical if you don't get a room down-grade for not booking direct.) In any case, our warm and somewhat stuffy room looked out on the expansive golf course and Michelin recognized Pullman restaurant. Not sure what made this room superior (maybe the view?) as it was on the small size and felt crowded. The view wasn't worth the price premium. The bathroom was updated and had a nice shower plus a tub but only a single sink-not a double. The property is located just outside Galway and they have ample free parking available at the hotel. The breakfast buffet was the typical spread found in all European hotels plus a few hot items that you could order-fine but nothing outstanding. Our meal at the in house Palmers was somewhat disappointing too and most of the restaurant staff here are teenagers trying to figure out how to be servers. They are trying hard but the inexperience shows. I think the best way to sum it up - is the Glenlo felt to me like a Marriott golf resort with a castle facade. Having stayed in several true castle hotels on our visit to Ireland this one pales in comparison. Don't get me wrong, if you're a golfer you'll probably be thrilled with the place but for me it was nothing all that special.

Like all old places tiny lift but very impressive stair case. The room was clean and had all the necessary amenities. Was sharing with two others and there was plenty of space. Breakfast was the left down. Staff were not very attentive, were not around to ask for extra items and one day had to seat ourselves. Not a big continental variety and hot items were not very hot. There is a great little pub/restaurant attached. Lots of large screen tv that attracted the football crowd and created a great atmosphere. The Cylburn is about 15min cab from the city centre. There is also a bus that will take you to the main square and the time table is in the room (very very limited services on a Sunday). If youre ok to be outside the city centre I would recommend.

Lovely reception team Do NOT recommend the food! * The bar -- poor service & short staffed. Five different staff (over 2 days) behind bar counter told us not their job to take drinks orders as they were supporting the restaurant (& to wait for a mythical bar-person...). * The breakfast-- big buffet options. Sit near window if you want any service. Cannot make soft boiled eggs & bring after breakfast is done! Do not get breakfast included. Most things were cold & so many options in Galway. * For weddings -- gorgeous venue & lovely post church spread. But DINNE was a big letdown. My table had worst vegetable soup of our life at a wedding here -- tasted like they had not made enough & watered it down. No flavour or seasoning. Pity as delicious at bar night before...& look at porridge consistency of their risotto . Salmon was watery & over cooked. Asparagus was watery & boiled to death. Crumble was soggy due to creme anglaise -- but so little argument on our table about whether there was even any on it. Highlights were the champagne pomegranate mint sorbet & chicken vol au vent.

Located just over the bridge, the dining room was clean and welcoming. It looks like the BnB rooms might be through a seperate door off the side of the building. My husband got a burger and Guinness and I had tea and an open faced salmon sandwich. The burger came out with the thick cuts of bacon that we've come to love while visiting. My sandwich was almost like a salad on soda bread. The samon was yummy and whatever olive oil used on the lettuce and red onions was amazingly savory. I'm surprised that this is the first review for this place because its just off the main tourist area. This is a real gem hiding in plain sight!

Too small and too hot to be comfortable…read more Our room is too hot sleep in. We complained about how hot the room was but front desk said they only have 2 or 3 rooms with A/C (is that true??). They said to use a supplies fan, so we have the window open with a noisy fan, but it is still very hot and the fan is super noisy. Our room is also incredibly small. We barely fit in here with our luggage. It's really small!! We asked if we could upgrade to a larger room and they said "no"... our room has a "standard layout" (again I am questioning if I am being told the truth). Also, they gave us an accessible room with a bathroom that has no enclosed shower/tub and then claimed that was a standard room for the hotel (once again feeling like I'm being swindled). There is also no sink space or shelf to place toiletries of any kind. We feel very cheated for a room that was much more expensive than the nice hotels we stayed at in Dublin and Killarney. Positives: Location is great and enjoy the attached pub.

Located in the Latin Quarter, the heart of Galway. Such a convenient and lively location!…read more A smaller hotel with an elevator if you are bringing a lot of luggage like us. We stayed here for a couple nights during the week. We were worried about the potential noise however the live music stopped at around 11pm so we had no complaints there. Perhaps the noise is longer on weekends but we didn't see it as an issue during our weekday stay. The room was clean, and had complementary water bottles. The TV was also great and allowed us to sign in to our Netflix and YouTube for streaming on the big screen. The room was on the smaller side but enough space to at least open up our big luggage and carry on. We got discounted parking as well from the hotel, which helped as parking in the city was expensive. Did not get the chance to visit the bar in the hotel in the evenings but we heard really good live music!

Jurys Inn, now The Leonardo, is in a perfect location to explore Galway. Walk out the door and…read moreyou're right in the action with countless shops and pubs. The price tag for the hotel rooms, as other have mentioned, is definitely due to the location. It can't be beat. Breakfast is okay, with a selection of eggs, sausage, bacon, cereal, breads and a coffee machine. Small variety of fruit and yogurt as well. The rooms are absolutely tiny. We booked a family room and not sure what happened...the pull out couch barely fit our two young children and left zero space in the room. The bathroom was also small and had limited space even for towels, let alone counter space. I booked through Priceline, which I will never do again because our reservation was completely messed up. They didn't have the right number of people or the included breakfast reflected in the hotels reservation system. The front desk staff couldn't have been kinder though and sorted it all out rather quickly. If you're just a solo travel or a couple the rooms would be sufficient and it would probably make for a great home base during your time in Galway.

It is located at a perfect location for walkability - right across the street from the Spanish Arch! We could see it from our window! This, of course, meant we were right at the foot of the Latin Quarter which is filled with noisy tourists and pubs. Our room was nicely fitted with two windows which cut out the noise sufficiently. Check in was a breeze! And our room was big and comfortable. With the change to Leonardo came refurbished rooms so it all felt pretty new. The staff were all friendly and very helpful. Two of the four evenings we were here, they offered late afternoon chocolate chip cookies and prosecco! A nice touch! We only had their breakfast one of the mornings. If you purchase it in advance, the price is reduced by a couple euros. They had standard Irish breakfast buffet offerings and the staff were friendly. I wasn't overly wowed by the breakfast and, since there are so many restaurants and coffee places nearby, I wouldn't recommend it here.
