Small lobby and tight parking as is often the case in city hotels. However, the staff was very friendly. We had a great breakfast…we left early on our second morning and opted for breakfast on the road. Our absolute highlight of our stay here (and one of our highlights of our whole trip) was the live music session they had on Thursday night. There were 8 musicians and it was true session-style - they were not a band, they didn’t all know each other, they just showed up with their instruments and started playing together. They took turns picking the next song…it was all completely spontaneous. We loved every minute.

So overall it is nice for a private hotel. AMERICANS Beware it does not have AC so you need to ask for fans. We were there in May and it doesn’t really get hot but it one point the room was stuffy so we went to turn on the AC and found out there wasn’t any. Fans were fine but you have to ask for them. The beds were comfy but the bathroom shower didn’t have a proper curtain or door and it was impossible to keep the water off the floor which is a slip risk. No easy place for a cab to pick up outside. Walking distance to Eyre square and bus and train station and the staff was incredibly nice.

The hotel was a stone’s throw to Eyre Square. Easily walkable to all of Galway city. The rooms are very nice. Only tricky part was the parking garage. Just plan ahead if you have a rental car because the cars tend to block each other in. This was really a cool place to stay and I would stay there again, for sure.

It was my second stay at The Western. It is an amazing hotel in a great location. The breakfast was amazing. Pastries melted in my mouth. The staff is friendly and helpful. The young lady at the front even remembered me from 8 months ago. Rooms are clean and nicely appointed. It'lll be my go to hotel when in Galway.
