    My husband and I booked to stay here for 2 nights this week and we were looking forward to it based on the reviews we had read. Wow! We were very disappointed!!! The photos provided on the booking site for the room we booked must have been from another hotel. Our room looked…

    It was a pleasure for us to be hosted at the Western Hotel Apartments in Galway during the Paddy's days. The crew was amazing, friendly and very helpful. The rooms have been cleaned every day. We'll be pleased to be guests at this house again next year

    Can anyone please tell me how far of a walk to Quay St. and the Latin Quarter? Is it safe to walk around in this area at night? We are trying to decide staying here and Jury's. Thanks!
    5 minutes walk And I would say very safe.

    I have recently found out that this hotel does not have in room safes. Has anyone had any problems when leaving valuables in their room while staying at this hotel? Thank you in advance.
    We never had a problem and found the hotel safe and secure. They have a safe at reception if you were to use it.

    We will be traveling with my elderly parents who have limited mobility. Does anyone know if this hotel has an elevator or ground floor rooms?
    Hotel has an elevator but there are some steps to get to the room (we stayed on the 2nd floor and there were various small landings in the floor, there was also steps within our room to get to the double bed) so I would request a room close to the elevator in check in. Not sure if there are rooms on the ground floor.
