The Western Hotel is located in the heart of Galway – an easy 5-10 minute walk to downtown and Eyre Square. Despite on-going renovations, the front staff were wonderful and got us checked into our room. The rooms were large by Irish standards and were ideal for several days. We loved the time and can’t wait to come-back.
