We were on a two day whistle stop visit to the West of Ireland and so arrived at the hotel very early with the intention of just booking in and perhaps leaving our bags. "Not a problem" said the very nice lady at the reception "I can have a room for you in 5 minutes". The Western was off to... More

We had a good time at the Western, although we never found a spot in the entire hotel where the wifi really worked.... We had a nice room that was very clean, well furnished, comfy beds with lots of pillows. We knew there was a bridal party in the hotel and other groups, but noise was not an issue except... More

Although we had to drive around for a few minutes before we found the entry to the carpark (some better signage might help this) we were really pleased with this hotel. We booked a room for two adults, but were given an enormous room with three beds, enough to accommodate a small army! The bathroom was clean and the room... More

Our son and his wife and my husband and I stayed here 3 nights while visiting the city and nearby sites including Aran Islands and Cliffs of Moher. It was very convenient to walk to buses and trains and to the City Center. Friendly locals frequent its beautiful bar which features acoustic music every night, both traditional and contemporary original,... More

I stayed in this hotel with family and a visitor from Canada on St Patrick's weekend. We got a good deal. The hotel is clean and the staff were friendly and very helpful. It is more like a large guest house/inn so there is a more personal vibe to it. our room wasn't very big but it was perfect for... More

These apartments are part of The Western in Galway. We booked 2 apartments for our stay in April. They were spotless and beautifully decorated. We were right off the main square, the location was great. For the price these accomodations could not be beat! Because they are apartments they do not have the same cleaning services as the hotel but... More

We had booked two rooms for two nights. On the first night it was difficult to sleep, though we were at second floor, because there was a party in the tavern. We complained and found the Manager of the hotel really keen on listening and finding a positive solution, given there would be another party on the second night as... More

My boyfriend stayed here in May 2009 while I was with a group from college traveling around Ireland for 2 and a half weeks. I spent one night with him here, and it was a great hotel. I felt safe there and the rooms were very large for Europe. It also had a very deep bathtub that after having to... More
