Great hotel
Great location and friendly staff. Easy to valet.
The only small annoyance was that the rooms don't have blackout curtains. Quite a bit of light is always visible because it is right on the square.

Perfect location
We had a lovely 2 nights stay in the Hardiman the day after storm Eowyn so it was understaffed but the staff that were in attendance were excellent! The food was exceptional, 10/10
Our only gripe would be that the bedrooms are quite dated and could do with some modernisation, but the foyer and the rest of the hotel were very nice and comfortable! Well located for walking around the city, would stay again !

Beautiful old hotel in a great location!
We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful old hotel right next to the train station and in the very walkable city of Galway. The room was spacious, the bed was very comfortable and I appreciated the water cartons in the room. We would definitely stay here again!

I love that it’s got its old charm. The staffs at the front desk and restaurant are all super friendly. I love the hotel’s location across Eyre Square where the Christmas Market is located. Very convenient also to all transportation.

Room was very large however bathroom sinks did not drain and there was a sulphuric small coming from drains. There were no mirrors to blow dry or curl hair with accessible plugs. The hotel is conveniently located close to everything so great location to your the sights. Bed and pillows comfortable.
