The hotel is in a great location and appears to be recently renovated. The service was outstanding! Breakfast is an option and was worth the extra charge.

Nancy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A hotel with character that is both close enough to Galway's city center without being too close that it keeps you awake at night. The staff was also very friendly and accommodating! Would stay at the Hyde again!

Stephanie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Under renovation but barely noticeable during the stay. Off site parking was very convenient (2 min walk). Breakfast was excellent. Staff were very helpful.
Craig, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great property.
Robert, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Good location but not the most comfortable

While in a great location, it felt like trendy decor was prioritized over more meaningful renovations. The restaurant and bar were beautiful, but flies frequented the "clean" glassware. While we loved Galway, this hotel wasn't the most comfortable stay.
Hannah, 2-night trip
