I am a very light sleeper. The first room we had, I could hear the traffic on a busy roadway. The building manager moved us to a beautiful, quiet room for the next four nights. Excellent service.

We had a very pleasant stay at Maldron Hotel Galway. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The breakfast was very good, with a nice variety of options to start the day. One of the highlights was the free parking, which was a great convenience and added value to our stay. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the overall experience was smooth and enjoyable.

Great hotel for the price. Clean, new, good bed and shower, nice size room, decent restaurant, helpful staff, and ample free parking underground so no issue with getting in and out with the rain. Although it’s outside the center of the city, it has some shopping and restaurants around and has a Spar on site.
