Stayed in the Harbour Hotel for the first time July 2010, staff were excellent really friendly and helpful.
Rooms were clean and comfortable.
Plenty of choice for breakfast, which was all very tasty.
Location was great really handy for Shop Street, Quay Street and Eyre Square.
Hotel parking at reduced rate which really is a bonus.
Really positive experience and i will definitely be back to stay in the Harbour Hotel again.

Arrived late as I frequently do, check in was courteous and helpful, she asked if I needed a code to access the wireless network, which you'd normally only discover you haven't got once you've gone 3 floors to your room.
Room has some really nice furnishings in it, and a very comfy bed. Telly (which I don't tend to watch) is a basic CRT model, but there's a proper iron and ironing board and the usual tea-facilities.
There's a gym, sauna, jacuzzi and 24-hour room service, all for about €100 a night. Not bad.

Stayed for one night recently with family. Location good, staff very friendly. The room was fine and clean but way too hot. No air-con. Restaurant was nice and food good. However, all was let down by a crazy party they had booked in function room for a 2st birthday. Music in lobby very loud and drunken partygoers in bar and outside hotel. Noise went on until 3am and so we couldn't sleep as were above it all. Receptionist next day was apologetic and gave me 20 euro discount and explained they very rarely have parties but they really need to advise guests in advance if one is booked as accommodation is inadequate to shield guests from the effects. Also the staff on duty during party seemed inadequate in relation to number and rowdiness of partygoers. It's a shame but I wouldn't risk it again.

Stayed in the Harbour Hotel for one night. Upon check in, we were greeted by a very friendly girl. I wasn’t happy with the first room we were given (it was clean etc, I just preferred something a little bigger). I went back down to reception and asked was there another room we could have instead. She was extremely helpful, gave me three room options and sent me off with a key for each room so I could check them all out. We settled on room 308 which was on the top floor in the attic.
The hotel is located on the harbour, less than a five minute walk to Shop St and centre of Galway. It is located in a safe area also.
The room was very comfortable with a decent size tv etc. Room service was also very efficient. The breakfast was lovely too, a great selection. We wanted to stay another night here but unfortunately the hotel was booked out.
I would have no hesitation in recommending the harbour.
