    The room was too warm and we could only open the windows if we raised the blinds-didn't want to have the windows open all night with the noise from the restaurant and parking lot. Room is VERY quiet when the windows are closed--that's a good thing!

    Staff was exceptional. We had a problem with our rental car and they assisted us in resolving the issue. My husband left his suit bag in the room and didn't realize it until we were 3 hours away from the hotel. The staff had it couriered to our final destination where he would need the suits and it couldn't have worked out more perfectly! Liked that it was away from the touristy area of the city.

    The breakfast was good, we paid on top of the room rate, but nice choice and freshly cooked. tis was situated right beneath the hotel rooms.

    The staff at reception was not welcoming, not even acknowledging us when we arrived. In spite of secondary glazing the room vas noisy due to the traffic passing by ( especially buses and trucks).A bit of soundproofing is needed there.

    The room was big .Nice decoration.Bed very comfy. We had dinner in the pub and it is really worth it.Good cooking and exceptional friendly service.

    We loved the Huntsman, snd have wanted to stay here for a while. It's a great place ideally located just a short drive from Galway's Eyre square. It's very clean and comfortable. The decor outside and inside is so nice. We ate in the restaurant for dinner and breakfast both meal's were superb, and the staff are amazing so friendly and helpful. 5 star's

    Although very clean, the room smelled of stale smoke. As we were there for only one night we didn't bother asking for a new room.

    Great location; only a leisurely walk to main downtown of Galway action. Rental car was safe in the parking lot. Free parking. Also it was very convenient that a gas station was just across the street to refuel before we continued our journey. Comfy bed & tons of wardrobe & drawer space. Iron & ironing board handy in wardrobe.

    Nothing comes to mind as a negative

    Easy 25 minute walk from the train station. Check-in was easy and the Inn had an elevator for convenience. The room was clean and comfortable. The Inn was next door to the restaurant (accessible directly from hotel via of a door between)with a bar which had excellent breakfast and dinner choices. We took advantage of the breakfast only one morning because of our early a.m. tours but we had dinner and drinks several times. Everything was delicious and the staff at both the Inn and restaurant were friendly, knowledgeable and excellent. There is a short walking loop along the water next to the Inn, which we took advantage of in the evenings. Be aware that you may need to make reservations in the evening at the restaurant but we always found space for two at the bar.

    Situated on a busy road. Not quite the ‘traditional inn’ experience I anticipated. No breakfast included. That said, the restaurant is very good both in terms of food, service and value.

    Great location, good room, good checkin experience, great staff - especially at the bar.
