The Hardiman is fantastic. I write negative reviews when really warranted and ditto for positive reviews. In the case of the Hardiman, I can’t rave enough about our stay. Great breakfast, clutch valet parking, clean, quiet room, and fantastic location. Classy, but super friendly staff. Not cheap, but reasonable, and great value. Stay here when you are in Galway!

Beautiful old hotel in a great location!
We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful old hotel right next to the train station and in the very walkable city of Galway. The room was spacious, the bed was very comfortable and I appreciated the water cartons in the room. We would definitely stay here again!
