A hotel with character that is both close enough to Galway's city center without being too close that it keeps you awake at night. The staff was also very friendly and accommodating! Would stay at the Hyde again!

Location of this place was ideal! It was close to parking, and walkabale to all the cool locations in Galway. There is a bus that stops right outside the door and there are so many bars and places to eat close by. My only complaint was service at breakfast. It was slow but otherwise fantastic stay!

This hotel is conveniently located to all the best places. The bathrooms/shower is weird with no door to the shower and no fan. Other than that, this places is excellent. The bar has a really cool vibe.
