Restaurant was excellent. Staff were friendly and attentive. Location was close to the train station and shoppers street. Other restaurants close by not so great, that was the only low point.

I made an error when booking. I didn’t realize only the “superior” rooms had air conditioning. Tom at the hotel was extremely helpful and not only assisted me in a room change but moved our bags into the new (air conditioned) room when we were out touring. He truly went above and beyond to accommodate us.
The hotel location is great. Easily walkable area with quick access to restaurants and shops. Off site parking was easy and the hotel was quick to validate the ticket so I paid a discounted rate. The checkin was easy, staff lovely.

We enjoyed our time at the Hyde Hotel. We were placed in one of their newly renovated rooms. It was very clean and enough space for 2 people. The room felt a tad claustrophobic because we had a sky light instead of regular windows. The sky light did have blackout blinds and we could open for air if needed. Our room also had heating and air conditioning. The staff lovely. There was a water issue in our room and they fixed it within an hour of us grabbing a bite. Great location to the bus station, train station and city center. We were fortunate to be in a room with air conditioning (I have seen other reviews saying not all rooms have it) however the weather in Galway this time of year didn’t need it necessarily - opening the window would have been just fine. Would recommend!

The hotel was just okay. The parking garage is around the block and it was fine, but having to drag our luggage through busy streets was a pain. The room was on the smaller side with no place to put our luggage (only staying 2 nights so didn’t want to fully unpack). Everything was clean and in place, but the bathroom had an unusually high step in to the tub and there was not a hook in the room. They did have a towel rack in the shower but having a hook for my toiletry bag would’ve been nice. Housekeeping did not make up our room and we had to ask for replenishments of the coffee essentials. We were on the first floor with a lot of street noise, which quieted at night. And the first night there was a huge Hen-do on our floor. This place seems to cater to larger parties and a much younger crowd. It would be perfect for younger people, but don’t think I’d stay again. The staff was very pleasant and accommodating, we ate at the bar in the restaurant and while the food was great they seemed a little disorganized.

Should have been warned about the parking issues. Likewise the room's air conditioning would only blow cold air, no way to adjust it.

Parking was a challenge. No valet. No parking on premise. Not even a loading, unloading zone out front. The hotel is on an extremely busy street.
Public parking lot was 2 blocks away, requiring us to traverse uneven terrain, busy streets with luggage.
I did suggest to the hotel that they invest in Valets, negotiate a loading zone w/the city.

Had a wonderful time. It was very clean and comfy. Loved the style of the rooms. Everyone was very nice and polite. A little sad I was unable to dine at the restaurant since their gas wasn’t working. I guess next time!

This hotel is overrated. The room was very outdated, and the pictures do not reflect the reality. There was mold in the shower and around the toilet. Outdated, unused bathroom fixtures have not been taken down. One of the bathroom lights was burnt out. The hotel is positioned nicely to walk through town, but is extremely noisy. The unloading area for trucks was across the street and there was significant noise very early in the morning as the trucks unload their supplies for the surrounding businesses. Do not stay here.

When we arrived we were given a room with two single bed, we booked a king bed. The staff was able to move us for the second night of our stay. The staff was helpful in making the correction.
