Where to start. We loved everything down to the smallest detail at The Stop. Everybody was incredibly attentive and kind from the minute we walked in to the moment we closed the door behind us when we left. The place itself was clean and beautifully put together. And the breakfast, wow. We had the shakshuka the first morning and the scrambled eggs and bacon the second. Definitely recommend both — especially the shakshuka. The flavours were delicious and the attention to detail in the presentation was great. We also LOVED the home baked cookies left every evening, and the freshly squeezed orange juice every morning. Russels and everyone also had lots of great recommendations for places to go close by and markets or events on any particular day. The location is also ideal, walking distance to the city centre. We couldn’t fault The Stop at all even if we wanted to. It was warm, cosy and homey with a fantastic attention to detail throughout. And we honestly can’t wait to come back!! Thanks to everyone at The Stop for making our stay in Galway one to remember!

We were really happy with the Harbour Hotel. Staff was friendly and helpful, the entire interior is modernised and cozy, and it's spotlessly clean. Soundproofing towards the road was excellent, we didn't hear any traffic noise although our room faced the road. There's a complementary gym with decent equipment. The restaurant can cater to coeliacs and provide gluten free options, although we didn't eat there. It's really close to the city centre, just about 5 mins walking to many restaurants, cafes and shops. Discounted parking for guests at 10€ for 24 hours. All in all, would recommend and stay again.

All round everything was amazing. Great staff. Beautiful interior design throughout. But the highlight had to be the bed, out of maybe 10 hotels I've stayed in over the past year or 2, the bed we had in the g was the comfiest bed I've ever experienced. Seems silly but honestly it was just incredible how comfortable it was and just the room as a whole. Thanks to the staff for making it such a memorable stay.

We had such a lovely stay at Oranhill Lodge in Oranmore. From the moment we arrived, Ann and Michael made us feel completely at home — warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind hosts. The atmosphere of the lodge is cozy and inviting, the kind of place where you immediately feel relaxed. Our room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable, with everything we needed and more — we especially enjoyed having the tea and kettle in the room for a quiet cup in the evening. The whole place was impeccably clean and peaceful, and we really appreciated how calm and quiet the nights were. Breakfast was a real highlight — freshly prepared and served by Ann and Michael themselves. Everything was delicious, and it felt like sitting down to a meal at home. On top of that, Ann gave us so many wonderful recommendations for places to visit around Ireland, plus extra tips for our itinerary that really made a difference to our trip. The location is also perfect: close to Galway but far enough to enjoy the tranquility of Oranmore, making it an ideal base for exploring the west of Ireland. The value for what you get — the comfort, the warmth, the quality — is just excellent. All in all, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Oranhill Lodge is a true gem, and we’ll remember our stay there with a lot of fondness. We’d recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone visiting the area.
