Waiting our turn to check-in I witnessed a receptionist unable to resolve another customer's check-in issue. She was discounting everything the customer said instead of working with the customer. It was rather off-putting to those of us waiting to check-in. After we had checked in, we found the tv remote missing. I had to deal with this particular receptionist and she asked me what type of tv we had. I did not know and she said she would send someone up to take a look. That never happened. I had to ask a second receptionist to follow up and she promptly took care of the issue. The second night we asked for a jug of water which never happened. Also later there was no hot water for a shower. We were told they were looking into it, and would notify us when it was resolved, but we never received a courtesy call. Luckily, the next morning we had hot water. I think probably they are overwhelmed and have issues with that particular receptionist. The overall appearance left a bad impression. I would not stay there again.

The hotel was good. Its located in an excellent area, close to countless pubs, restaurants and retail outlets. It was within walking distance to everything we wanted to see and do in Galway. It was also a very short walk to and from the bus station that brought us to and from Dublin. Our room was nice. There was no remote for the TV in the room but a quick call to the front desk and someone came up quickly with a remote. The walls are quite thin, so if you have someone beside you, youll hear conversations etc. Also youll hear everything going on in the hallways. We were there for the Halloween weekend and usually everything got quiet around 10pm. The breakfast at the restaurant was excellent and a fair price. I think this hotel was overpriced. It cost us $400 Cdn per night which is what youd pay for a pretty nice hotel room in Manhattan NYC. That being said, the weekend we were there and the proximity to all the Galway action were/are the reasons people are willing to pay and the hotel is able to charge so much. If we came back, we would probably look at other places to stay, but if they were comparable, we'd stay at the Western again.

Great location. Wonderful staff.
Nice hotel. We were an hour early and were lucky our room was ready. Rooms are small, no fans. Could use a shelf in bath for toiletries, no space. Updating hotel so had construction below us. Noise was minimal. Elevators stop between floors so you do need to take luggage up and down several steps.

Wonderful Western!
The Western was a wonderful experience. Great location and terrific staff. The concierge staff was helpful, efficient, and professional. The restaurant was some of the best food we had for the entire trip and the staff was friendly and organized. The bar staff was lovely and we enjoyed the live music. And the parking was easy- the valet staff was friendly and qualified. Overall, we would stay here again and would recommend it to our family and friends.

The beds and bedding were uncomfortable. The room was hot and with no fan in the bathroom the room got damp. We had to leave the window open and could hear people putting trash into the dumpster multiple times at night. Anytime someone upstairs moved the whole room shook. They did not provide lotion or conditioner.

We loved the Western. The location was amazing. We walked to all the shopping, attractions and pubs. Our room had amazing views and was spacious and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our last night we spent in the hotel pub and they had the most amazing musicians playing and singing. We really enjoyed this and wanted to stay longer. We hope to stay here again someday. Thank you for such a great time!!!
