Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Detailed Reviews
I’ll start with the good: The staff was polite. The shower water pressure was strong. Pillows were comfortable. Location of hotel was close to downtown Galway. View from our window was nice water view. But now for the things that took away from our experience: Upon arrival, there was no one to assist with our bags and no luggage carts for self-service (not the biggest issue, but a general sign of minimal staffing, or perhaps an attempt at cost-cutting). Inside our room, the bathroom plumbing was not working properly. We tried to use room phone to call front desk, but that, too, was not operational. Walked to front desk, waited in cue to report issue. Was told by nice young man at front desk it would be repaired while we went to dinner, but when we returned, the toilet was not fixed and we again went to front desk and the nice young woman said there was no report of an issue with the toilet or phone. So it seems the gentleman who took our first report didn’t do anything about it at all. The woman started a repair ticket and the next day, while we were out, they called our cell phone to say they fixed the toilet (and it was fine the rest of our stay). They were not able to provide a replacement phone and so when in our room, we had no way to contact desk unless we walked downstairs to speak to them in-person (they said phones went with the rooms so they couldn’t switch phones, but it seems to me that as a temporary measure, they could have done something to provide a temporary replacement phone for the duration of our stay). And then in middle of first night, the room refrigerator compressor began making a loud banging noise for about 15 seconds that repeated every few hours at night. This continued for all 3 nights of our stay, waking us each night. Bedding was okay, but there was no top sheet for the beds. There were no towel hooks in bathroom, except for the rack inside the shower which was not practical with 2 people rooming together (shower water soaked the towel on rack). There was no hand soap (except the wall mounted tube of soap that squeezes out a large portion of soap as if for showering). There was no coffee in-room (as advertised). The dining room breakfast process was convoluted—without a room voucher, they charge you a higher price, even when you give the host your room number. So you have to go back to the front desk, get the voucher, then return to dining room with voucher applied. All very convoluted with the burden on the hotel guest to sort through the management’s lack of organization. It all felt like a lot of work for little reward.
tl;dr: ok if nothing goes wrong in your room, but a hassle if you need more than a bed to sleep in.

We have stayed several times at the Galmont Hotel in Galway and will return again. The hotel is well located, just away from the busy areas so there is no noise at night, but within walking distance so an ideal location. We treated ourselves to a Deluxe Sea View King Room on the 4th floor which was very spacious, quiet, clean, and relaxing. There is a wide range of food available for breakfast. The breakfast area does get busier as the morning goes on, so we went early to enjoy a relaxing breakfast in comfortable surroundings.

Stayed 20th of December for 1 night with my wife and son. Hotel is warm & Spotless. Breakfast was 10/10 probably one of the best standard of buffets I have experienced,The staff at Breakfast were also excellent. A couple of negatives
1 I asked a bar man when it was fairly quite at 7pm to make a bottle of milk for me he said yes then proceeded to clean the bar area leaving me standing for 10 minutes I asked him again did he hear me he replied he was new and didn't know where anything was ? But he would ask someone to help me ,he didn't and continued he's other duties for a finish I took some jugs of milk and brought to room to heat myself. 2 I paid 20 euro on my way out of the parkin lot at 1pm I checked in the night before at 6pm surly this is overpriced . 3 I sent an email regarding something I'm missing but still no reply. However, I probably would stay again but I think some basic things need to be tided up.

Dear Michael, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the warm, spotless atmosphere of the hotel, and that the breakfast exceeded your expectations—your kind words about the staff are greatly appreciated! I do apologize for the issues you encountered during your stay. It’s certainly not the experience we aim to provide, and I understand your frustration regarding the milk request at the bar. I’ll be sure to follow up with the team to ensure that all staff members are equipped to respond quickly and effectively to guest requests, even when they’re new to the role. Regarding the parking charge, I understand your concern, and I will review the parking policy with the team to ensure clarity and fairness in the future.

We stayed for 30th December and 31st for their New Year’s Eve package. We were very disappointed overall and the New Year’s Eve event was poor value for money and not as advertised. The only prizes were were bottles of Prosecco! There was a wedding on when we arrived so hotel was very busy and noisy, not quite the relaxing stay we expected. The room was not cleaned on the first morning of our stay and maid called to our room at 6pm which was not convenient. Following morning maid called at 10am when we were just getting dressed and kept knocking until we answered so had to dress quickly! We were not checking out until 12 so don’t know why they wanted to clean our room before we even checked out. We ordered breakfast to our room to avoid the long queues experienced the previous day but food was cold and overcooked. Would not recommend this hotel as it was not a four star standard and way overpriced.

We deeply regret that your experience did not meet your expectations and that you were disappointed with the event and aspects of your stay.

Stayed here several times when it was a radisson but this was the first as The Galmont. As a pro the family room was large and well laid out. Cons, the duvets and pillows make so much noise every time you move. The room was located facing the front of the hotel so could hear residents and music into the early hours along with the smell of cigarettes. These items are probably outside of the hotel’s control but the plumbing noise was unbearable, every time the toilet flushed or the taps were turned on for the first time in a while the pipes went crazy and woke the whole room. When I reported this, the front desk appeared surprised and comped the parking fee, however paying almost €300 for a room that your family couldn’t sleep comfortably in is a very hard pill to swallow. Room could 373 could do with a bit repair. Tip - flush the toilet once you check in as you may need to change room in order to sleep

First the positives. The front desk staff make a real effort to welcome you. Check in and check out v smooth.
Sadly downhill from then.
Room on 4th floor was just average, though priced at almost €300 per night. Hadn’t been properly hoovered nor was it properly serviced during our 3-day stay (e.g., old wine glasses and a coffee mug never removed). Towels were worn. Edges of fridge patched up with black masking tape. Lots of dirt in common areas, no sign of any cleaners keeping these areas tidy.
The breakfast was a shambles. Cooked food lukewarm and unappetising. Lots of tables needing to be cleaned down after guests left, but there was clearly too few staff on duty. Had to “borrow” milk jug and butter from another table. It felt like we were just herded in along with the various bus loads of tour groups they’re catering for these days.
Dinner was lacklustre. Waiting staff didn’t understand the concept of a finger bowl (of lukewarm water and lemon) to accompany chicken wings. The onion ring served with the burger was like rubber. Quite a dramatic difference in confidence levels and expertise of staff serving that evening.
This hotel feels it can charge a premium based on its central location. But we would not return nor recommend it to others at the prices it charged us.
I feel sorry for staff who are clearly overwhelmed with the volume of guests and workload. Standards could improve but only with lots of staff training, monitoring and genuine pride being taken in the product and the guest experience by management.

This was a very pretty hotel. The reception/lobby area was gorgeous! The room was fine and had good lighting and USB ports in the wall above both side tables/nightstands on both sides of the bed.
However, the toilet was difficult to flush. And shower was difficult to operate. And there were no face cloths in the bathroom or even available from the hotel when we called. The smallest size towel available to us at all was a hand towel.
The spa that the hotel has access to is very nice but the front desk did not give enough instructions when they told us about the use of the spa. The spa requires the use of a swim cap—for men and women. And the spa wants hotel guests to bring a towel with them to the spa.
Other than that, the services were great. The outdoor hot tub is perfectly located overlooking the water and the steam room and sauna are perfect temperatures. The water in the jacuzzi and the hot tub could be hotter.
It was located near the main city bus station which is not the safest area (very little foot traffic or business right around the immediate area of the hotel) but it was a short walk to the center of town where all the restaurants and music venues were located.

The shower in the ladies spa only runs for 10 seconds or you have to hold the button. The steam room was not working for the time we were there. Can i suggest that a note put in sauna asking hotel residents not to put flip flops on the sauna bench.

Our stay in this property was just average. Our main issue was to navigate the intricate corridors and two different elevators to reach our room which was only in the second floor. One of the elevators always smelled musty. The room was clean and functional and the bed was comfy. Something we didn't like was that you would have to buy breakfast in advance or you would have to pay almost double the price, and the breakfast buffet was just average for the price. What we liked the most about this hotel was it's location since it's away from the noisy streets and close to the train and bus stations. Yet close enough to everything.

First of all the rooms are beautiful the bed the pillows all that exceptional luxury however, we experienced being woken up about 2am with a dreadful humming noise (a very loud fan noise) that was persistent and didn't abate one bit. At 5 am I'd had enough and called reception whereby I was told it was the kitchen generator. I was so upset that they actually knew this was a thing. I explained that it was unbearable to which they offered to give us another room in the hotel. I was so tired I couldn't think of having to pack up at that hour stupid with lack of sleep.
We showered and went down to breakfast early and in fairness we got another room.
When we were leaving I explained our experience to the lady at reception and asked for a refund because our first night was so terrible we got 100 euro off but the most annoying thing was that she seemed to have no clue about the noise, asked me to describe it leaving me with a feeling that I was fussy or something. I do not believe she was sincere, I do not believe they aren't aware of this noise and I do not believe that guests haven't complained about it before. I would not return ever and it is due to this reason I feel they are chancing their arm giving people these rooms near the kitchen and typical Irish they don't always complain.
