Situated directly opposite the main train station, within walking distance of anywhere in the city that you might want to go, Garveys was a place we thought would be fine just because of how convienient it was in location. Thankfully that turned out only to be the start of what was a great weekend. There is a recession on, so... more

My Welsh wife and I were in Galway and stayed at a mediocre hotel near the "Garvey" which is in the center of town. Later the following day, we saw a sign outside the Garvey that indicated Bed & Breakfast for some amount I don't recall now. Anyhow, we asked to see a room and were likely shown the best... more

old, dark, musty, claustophobic, tiny room. Perhaps room was not representitative of all the rooms but wouldn't take the chance and stay there again. low cost/location is the only thing to recommend it... but there are much better options. Perhaps a nice place to stay if you are looking for something that envokes a more traditional simpler time (ie pre-modern-contemporary-less-musty-hotels:-)... more

Great hotel, centrally located and really friendly staff. Rooms are clean and comfortable. The bar serves the best pint of Guinness I've ever tasted! Definitely going to be going back there soon. more

I had heard that the irish were aome of the most hospitable people in the world, but Terry and his staff proved that correct. They all made me feel as though I was at home even though I was far from it. I personally just waiting for another chance to go back and see them again. If you guys read... more

We had a blast at Garveys and were really well looked after. All 12 of us left happy, really good to let us have a very late breakfast which was delicious. Cant wait to go back to Galway and will definately stay there again. more

I've been to Galway three times and by far my stay at Garveys was the best time. I can't get over how freindly the staff and regular patrons were. It didn't matter what meal I had the food was great, especially during lunch. The room was comfotable and clean. I enjoyed my stay there, Thank you Garveys. more

I stayed in a room on the first floor facing the park which was nice and clean. It had everything we needed tea/coffee iron etc. Would have liked a bath but there was only a shower. The breakfast was very good, nice selection of bar food and the traditional bar had very good live music. The staff were very nice... more
