“Very pleased.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012 NEW

Got a great deal for this hotel and spent 2 nights there with my partner. Overall we were very happy. Staff were extremely friendly, hotel was lovely. The dinner and breakfast in the restaurant were only OK - other than that it couldn't be faulted

Stayed October 2011, travelled as a couple

“Very Pleasant Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

We stayed for a 3 night break in early January. From the moment we arrived we were made feel very welcome by the receptionist on duty. We had booked a superior room and the room we got was large, clean, comfortable and nicely furnished. Breakfast, cold food from buffet or hot from the kitchen, was good but not exceptional. We had dinner in the restaurant on one evening, again the food was nice but nothing special. Restaurant staff were very helpful and pleasant on every occasion. Overall we had a pleasant and enjoyable stay.
The hotel is well located both for access to Galway City and for easy access to Connemara with convenient free parking in the grounds.
There were a few minor irritants which the hotel might address:-
1. My wife asked for natural yougurt at breakfast on the first day (listed on the menu) but they had none. They had none on days two or three either
2. We wanted to watch RTE 2 television on our first evening - it wasn't available. It still wasn't available when we were leaving.
3. While the hotel has lots of sitting space for guests, most spaces were too cold to sit in when we were there. Only the Bar was warm but it appeared to have sky sports on 24x7

Room Tip: The extra charge for our superior room was quite nominal and the room was lovely.

“Just super for a wedding reception”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

Having worked in the hospitality industry for over 20 years, and being a "foodie" I was quite fussy about our wedding venue.
From the moment we walked into the Westwood Hotel we were sold. Every aspect of the weekend was arranged for us, and everything was just perfect. I could fault nothing, rooms, staff, food, helping with other arrangements for the day, all above and beyond my expectations. The canapés on arrival were super, the food and wine at the dinner were fabulous & extremely plentiful. The day after the wedding we had a post wedding party and again the food provided was perfect for the occasion.
We are delighted that we selected The Westwood to hold our wedding reception, and would like to thank Dave, Diane and all the staff for everything they did for us.

“family weekend (wedding)”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2012

this was a great hotel to both stay in and to attend a wedding in . we had my brothers wedding here in september and everything was perfect , nothing was any bother and we had our 3 kids with us and they were as welcome as we were, which sometimes is not the case in hotels . the food all weekend was of a very high standard and the wedding service is brilliant . a gem of a hotel only a few minutes out of the city centre .
