The amazing thing about this hotel is the service-very attentive. Our room had an issue so I requested another. The front desk offered an amazing room for the trouble which was not expected at all. An amazing view, much bigger, and a really nice gesture.

4.0 / 10.0

Clean room, friendly check-in. Standard Irish breakfast. Shower was tiny! No frigerator in room. Felt the 250 euro rate was too high. Location was perfect to shopping, bars and restaurants.

5.0 / 10.0

Great stay right next to Christmas markets. Fabulous breakfast.

5.0 / 10.0

Excellent hot breakfast buffet &/or complimentary menu choices. Beds were very comfortable. Central location on Eyre Square was so convenient to Shop Street & all the restaurants & pubs & made our trip completely walkable. Nearby parking was close to major shopping centre.

This is a beautiful hotel with a good staff. MacNeill's pub is great. It's in the center of Eyre Square.

10.0 / 10.0

It is the historic, central hotel in Galway. Right on the city green. Walkable to all Galway neighborhoods. The hotel offers discounted public parking nearby, a plus. The staff was professional and helpful with our questions about getting around. Our bedroom had the grand 19th century high ceilings.

4.0 / 10.0

Upon arrival there was no where to stop and check in and drop of luggage. When my wife went in she felt that the staff was snooty. Everyone else we dealt with was very hospitable.

2.0 / 10.0

An awful stay. The glory days of the Hardiman are long gone. Room 410 has been ravaged by damp with walls and rhe ceiling visibly damaged. The toilet seat was loose and the room was like an oven with no aircon. Forget morning sleep-ins - the building site right outside the window will ensure you are wide awake long before 8am The Hardiman is vastly overpriced and poor value for money

8.0 / 10.0

Great location. Right next to the train station and close to “old” Galway.

4.0 / 10.0

10.0 / 10.0

The room has everything we needed! Front desk staff was a little short but the gentleman in the oyster bar and a cleaning lady that helped us find our room were fantastic!

3.0 / 10.0

Great location, great staff. Lots of history. Beautiful building. Needs a serious refresh, facilities in poor condition.

10.0 / 10.0

Property was beautiful, Expedite and Hardiman had issues communicating so it was a bit of a hassle for us to keep going to f leont desk.

Great location; gorgeous room; friendly staff; valet parking. Would absolutely stay again.

The bathroom had puddles of water around the sink after washing our hands, brushing our teeth etc. when I told the front desk they needed to fix it they said they’d have someone clean it up (which didn’t resolve the problem). I set my laundry outside the door at 7:45sm after the front desk told me it had to be outside the door by 8sm. I got a phone call from the desk saying they didn’t pick it up in time. (Okay, no problem). However, they didn’t know where the laundry was. I was confused -either you picked it up or you didn’t). After two phone calls and two visits to the front desk they were able to locate it in “the linen room”, and this was after they insisted it was returned to my room (even though they previously said they never picked it up). I think a 4 star rated hotel shouldn’t have these issues. On a positive note the beds were comfortable and the hotel decor is charming.

5.0 / 10.0

Fantastic location right on Eyre Square. Well apportioned rooms with super comfy beds. Would definitely come back.

Couldn't be anymore convenient. Literally right around the corner from the train/bus station and on Eyre Square. Short walk to good restaurants and pubs.

4.0 / 10.0

Reception was not friendly at check in. Duvet old and torn. Room very hot. No thermostat. Had to open windows, therefore very noisy.

4.0 / 10.0

This is a lovely historical building right on Eyre Square. The staff are all very friendly and my room was comfortable. I had a nice view of the square on 3rd floor and the room was mostly very quiet. My only quibble, and this is common among hotels in Ireland, is the bathing option. It is a very deep tub with a half door of glass. This is not suitable for those with mobility issues and I'm in great physical shape and it was a pain for me. The shower is in the tub so the water floods the bathroom floor as a half door isn't adequate. This is a recipe for an accident. While a deep tub is luxurious for those who like baths, it's difficult to get in and out of. That said, the hotel is lovely and they offer a plethora of breakfast options which are mostly good. I don't recommend the scrambled eggs on the buffet. In addition, i was thrilled to see a smoothie among the selections, but unfortunately it was grainy and very sour. These are all fixable issues and i hope the hotel is listening.

4.0 / 10.0

The Hardiman is a lovely gem of a hotel in the heart of Galway. Very walkable. The decor, staff, pub, and breakfast were all phenomenal. Room & bathroom were large and comfortable. My only gripe with this hotel was the parking. We had a rental car and did not expect the challenges we faced with parking. The check-in/drop-off car pull-in area is very small - it only fits 3-4 cars/taxis and was full everytime we drove by. There is no signage outside the hotel directing you where to go for parking. The website did mention an off-site carpark that they offered discount parking at, so we routed there. I was surprised to see how far from the hotel it was but luckily, we didn't have much luggage. Other than the parking situation, I had a lovely experience with this hotel. Even the parking wasn't all that bad as the discount was generous and easy to use. It was just a little far and was not advertised well.

Stayed for two day visit to Galway. The hotel was nice but dated. The staff were kind but overworked it seemed. Over clean place, just needs updating and some fresh paint.

Nice, old property. Room was nice but bathroom was terrible! No fan or ventilation. Wood was rotten around bath/shower from water and black mold evident. Need a major overhaul. Room 227

The breakfast was a disaster. Not enough staff to serve everyone and buffet was empty. Also the restaurant attached wasnot great. Very expensive for what you get.

Great area

5.0 / 10.0

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.

10.0 / 10.0

The Hardiman is fantastic. I write negative reviews when really warranted and ditto for positive reviews. In the case of the Hardiman, I can’t rave enough about our stay. Great breakfast, clutch valet parking, clean, quiet room, and fantastic location. Classy, but super friendly staff. Not cheap, but reasonable, and great value. Stay here when you are in Galway!

5.0 / 10.0

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 !

4.0 / 10.0

Despite the issues at the hotel where there was total loss of water staff tried to maintain service unfortunately there was no contingency plans to provide temporary water supplies for sanitation and hygiene issues which forced customers to use facilities external to the hotel. This did taint our trip and it was a full 48 Hours before some service were restored. The hotel has agreed to a full reimbursement for our stay but this process is still ongoing.

10.0 / 10.0

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.

Loved my stay The Hardiman. Perfect location for exploring Galway. Was very impressed that my room had a full sized Christmas tree in it!
