Reviews and Ratings
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 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 offers spacious and cozy rooms, perfect for a medium-sized family. The service is top-notch with courteous staff available day and night. The location is ideal for day trips to nearby attractions, and the dining experience, while with some hiccups, offers a good selection. Overall, a comfortable stay with excellent service.
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.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were clean, comfortable, and spacious. The staff was very professional and welcoming, making my experience enjoyable. The location was beautiful, close to the city center and with plenty to see and do in Galway. Though the dining was good, there were some areas for improvement. Overall, a great value for money.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious and beautifully kept, providing a warm and relaxed atmosphere. The service, while friendly, seemed a bit disinterested at times. The location was convenient for exploring the city and nearby areas, although a bit far from the city center. The dining experience left much to be desired, with varying portions and some dishes needing to be sent back. The facilities were decent but could use some improvements.
I had a fantastic stay at the Blue Radisson in Athlone. The hotel gave us a warm welcome and made our weekend truly enjoyable. The spacious and cozy rooms were amazing, with great beds, although the noise from the DJ's speakers was a small downside.
The hotel has rooms of good size, clean, with a super king-size bed, robes, and slippers, along with a huge bathroom. The service covers all areas efficiently, staff are pleasant and friendly. The location is very good, convenient to the city yet quiet and cozy. The dining offers a good selection, but the beds were a bit hard. The facilities are well-maintained.
