Would highly recommend the residence hotel for any trip to Galway city. The staff went above and beyond from the time we arrived right up to our departure. The rooms are very clean and comfortable and the location is right in the middle of the activities. The bar next door is a great spot for food and live music which is an added bonus. Five stars all around from our part of three and can’t wait to return

From the minute we arrived to the time we, the staff were brilliant and very helpful. Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable. Location is ideally, everything right on your doorstep. The bar and music at night was brilliant. The food looked amazing, unfortunately we didn't have time to eat there as we had a show to get to but we definitely will be back again and this time we will have some of the very delicious looking food. Hight recommend the Residence Hotel.

My daughter and I stayed here for a couple nights and loved the hotel! The location was perfect, in the middle of the Latin Quarter and the staff was amazing. Everyone was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed dinner and drinks and M. Fitzpatrick and the live music. The rooms were great and I loved the Nespresso Coffee maker. We will definitely stay here the next time we visit Galway.

Loved this hotel. It was my wifes birthday weekend so we flew into Shannon and then got a car and drove to Galway. Easy. Parked in Spanish Arch car park 12 euro a night with hotel discount. 1 min away.||We were on the 3rd floor overlooking Quay and the location was fantastic. Right in the middle of the action. We were out late so the noise didnt affect us. You could slightly hear the beat from the music from the bar below but nothing major. That all finished at 2am but we were only getting back a bit before then anyway.||The room was lovely and comfortable, nice hot shower and good toiletries. Good hairdryer too. Free safe. Tea, coffee and Nespresso machine if thats your thing.||Staff were lovely and friendly and check in and out was nice and easy.||I'd highly recommend this hotel if you want to come out of the door and be right in the middle of everything.||Can't think of anything we would change.||Thanks for the birthday card and chocolates too. Very kind gesture.

Not sure how this hotel isn't a five star. This place is so unique and we loved our stay here. So close and easily walkable to get coffee and to one of our favorite bars of all times. We would come back in a heartbeat. The rooms are so unique and overall loved our stay here. The check in was so easy, the only thing that could of helped was just more detailed instructions on where to park because the front entrance is a little funky, but overall had a lovely stay. Highly recommend.

I always write a fair review and had several conversations with the staff. The hotel was in an excellent place and the staff was nice. I have several complaints that were worth mentioning. My friends hotel had several problems with the toilet and the staff finally fixed it after almost the second day. Couldn't flush it. Then my room, after finally cleaning the fans vents they started working and my bed side had visible springs coming out of it. The staff said they checked when I was gone and didn't see anything and sadly if anyone checked it's very noticable. It was so uncomfortable and I'm not your usual Karen that complains but the bed after walking all day was bad enough I let them know the first day and could never help me. I get it though, you are sold out but not offering any compensation or even emailing me back to discuss was very disappointing. Sucks I even had to go this way but everyone should know.

If you don’t mind being up all night with noises outside your window then this is the place for you. It was incessant the noises outside our window. All kinds of machinery like dump trucks or garbage trucks. I don’t know what was going on but it went on all night long. I would not recommend this hotel if you are looking to get a good nights sleep

Located in the Latin Quarter, the heart of Galway. Such a convenient and lively location! A smaller hotel with an elevator if you are bringing a lot of luggage like us. We stayed here for a couple nights during the week. We were worried about the potential noise however the live music stopped at around 11pm so we had no complaints there. Perhaps the noise is longer on weekends but we didn't see it as an issue during our weekday stay. The room was clean, and had complementary water bottles. The TV was also great and allowed us to sign in to our Netflix and YouTube for streaming on the big screen. The room was on the smaller side but enough space to at least open up our big luggage and carry on. We got discounted parking as well from the hotel, which helped as parking in the city was expensive. Did not get the chance to visit the bar in the hotel in the evenings but we heard really good live music!

Sleep... don't plan on a restful night's sleep Friday thru Sunday. The 'live music' starts thumping shortly after happy hour and endures 'til the bar closes. You really have to dig to find the nightlife details on the website. It's not listed on any travel site details at all. #Expedia After we justifiably complained we were offered ear plugs.

Really loved our night in Galway at the Residence Hotel. It is in the heart of the Latin Quarter - and I am sure it is a raucous party place from Thursday onwards - but we were there on a Wednesday night. Front desk staff was lovely - I hadn't been able to book a twin room online and they fixed that for us even before we arrived - room was comfortable and quiet even though it looked out on the main street (yes, it was a Wednesday night). Restaurant 1520 downstairs held our reservation for us even though we arrived late as the kitchen was closing, and made food for us even though we were right at the limit of closing time. My carrot soup was excellent, as was my companion's hors d'ouevres plate, and my caesar salad was delicious. And we got to listen to live music as we ate. Again, room was comfortable and quiet, bathroom was nice, and we entirely wished we'd stayed one more night at the Residence Hotel in Galway.

First, the incredible staff. The front desk staff, Jasmin, Michelle, and Cara go above and beyond to make you know you are welcome, and in a friendly place. Whether having a nice chat about our stay, or helping us to find just the right shop or restaurant, they all were extremely helpful. The cleaning staff we met in the hall were just as friendly and helpful. Second, location, location, location. Right at the end of the Latin Quarter, we were within moments of everything and every place. It was so easy to get to tours, restaurants and shops. If we had any questions, the front desk staff had the answers or found them if needed. Third, the room was excellent. Everything we needed from a great coffee maker to a hot and heavy shower, and very clean. Galway is so great that we did not spend a lot of our waking hours in the room, but its comfort was a great place to come for sleep. Even in one of the noisier parts of the city, and adjacent to a very busy pub, we never heard a sound. Finally, I have to mention the 1520 Bar. Next door but part of the hotel, we became regulars. Over our days at The Residence we had wonderful conversations at the 1520 with locals and people from around the world. Clearly it is an extremely popular place for Hen Parties, friends, travelers, families. I will miss the energy of that pub. We hope to return to Galway, and we would stay nowhere else than the Residence Hotel. We'd feel a bit like going home to stay with family. Marcia and Jack MacRae

Location location location is everything. Located in a wonderful spot and the city very convenient to leave the hotel walk around the city come back to the hotel during the day and go back out again and again. Car park located right next door to the entrance in the hotel. Free fast Wi-Fi in the rooms. Life to take you to the 1st through the 4th floor. Pub on ground floor and many others very close by.

Small. Quaint. Clean. New carpet on the narrow staircase. Loved that you had to have a key card to walk up the stairs. Close to the pubs.

The location is excellent. Virtually every tourist site is within easy walking distance as are many tour companies for delightful day trips. Lots of history, stores, cafes, pubs, buskers, etc. The rooms are modern if not a bit quirky (which I like). No mini-bar, at least in my room. What is not excellent is the loud music that comes from the pub, especially on "late pub" nights (Thu-Sat) until 2am (when you check in they will tell you live music starts at 6pm but not when it ends). I was on the 3rd floor (4th to Americans) and it kept me awake all night until about 2:05am. The staff is indifferent to the discomfort of paying guests vs the besotted crowd in the pub. If you plan on staying up until 2am, this is a great place. If not stay away from the Latin Quarter in general (to be fair, comments above probably apply to most similarly situated hotels) or check into a larger hotel, maybe like Jury's Inn, and ask for a room far from the pub.

Great experience! Staff was so friendly. Rooms were very clean and a good size. So nice having a coffee machine and snacks provided by the hotel in the room. So close to everything you need and amazing shops and restaurants. Quay St. Kitchen across the street was lovely. Bar downstairs was great- we didn't really have a problem with the noise- they have very thick windows so you could barely hear anything. And hello you're above a bar with live music so if you want absolute silence- may not be the place for you.
