The hotel rooms could use some updating with a lack of attention to detail initially, but they are ultimately clean, comfortable, spacious, warm, and cozy. The service was helpful and accommodating, although slightly understaffed. The location is quiet and convenient for trips to Connemara, avoiding heavy traffic. The dining offers a hearty mix of continental and Irish breakfast with limited selection, better suited for various seating capacities. Overall, the facilities are adequate but may benefit from more staffing to enhance the experience.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was good for my work but a bit far from the city center. The service from the staff, especially Shauna, was exceptional, making me feel very welcome. The dining options were decent, though not as nice as expected. The rooms were well-furnished and comfortable, but the noise from the wedding party below kept me up most of the night, affecting my overall rest.

I was truly impressed by the spotless and tastefully decorated rooms at this hotel, complete with a lovely seating area beside a fireplace, which added a unique touch to the experience. The room had a large TV with a wireless keyboard for surfing the internet, a cool feature even though I didn't get to make use of it. While the decor may have seemed a bit dated, the comfort and livability of the room were undeniable.

The hotel's location was ideal for our explorations in Connemara and provided easy access to the Motorway when we departed. While a bit out of the way, it was still a short drive into town, offering a quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city center.

The Westwood House Hotel offers nicely laid out rooms that feel fresh at first, but lack proper air extraction in the bathrooms, which can be bothersome. The service, especially at the reception, is below par. However, the hotel's impressive location right in Galway city center caters well to luxury travelers. The dining experience stands out for its good options and welcoming team, though pricing may vary. Overall, the hotel has some noteworthy positives alongside notable drawbacks.

The hotel rooms were spacious and clean with necessary facilities but did not look like the pictures. However, the thin doors separating rooms allowed for noise transfer between them. The location was suburban yet close to the city center, handy for exploring nearby attractions. The dining experience offered cooked-to-order options with good quality, though some items were not satisfying. The service was friendly and prompt but had issues with devices. The hotel had a large and updated pool area, yet lacked some expected facilities.
