"Beautiful inn on way to Cliffs of Moher"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Apr 18, 2012
We had a wonderful stay at the Rusheen Lodge on our way to the Cliffs of Moher. Karen ws very helpful and cooks up a delicious breakfast. The Burren Suite was large enough for four adults and included a sitting area that was quite comfortable. Enjoyed it very much.
"Very relaxing place to stay !"Reviewed by Nancy F of "Bermuda" on Apr 17, 2012
The Twelve Hotel has everything you need for a relaxing holiday. It is in a lovely area right on the beach - a great area for walking. The hotel staff were very friendly, efficient and responsive to whatever your needs are. The room was quiet, comfortable and clean, well stocked with a welcome treat upon check in, tea/coffee supplies, wine glasses, etc. Both casual and fine dining options, live entertainment in the evening. We would definitely go back or recommend this hotel to friends. The only drawback for some people might be that it is about 10 minutes drive from Galway.

Brian was great! This hotel was the perfect place to fit our needs for the night. Brian provided us with great service, making reservations for us, taking time to print out directions, and giving us general advice. Thank you

"Great location, hotel fair at best"
Location is ideal. Parking is free which is nice and the complimentary breakfast was good. However, the hotel is lacking. The room is in need of some serious updating and TLC, the bed is brutally uncomfortable, a refresher is definitely in order. Staff that is there is friendly although more staff is needed to handle the needs of the guests. I would […] probably stay elsewhere next time around. Read more
"Nice hotel in a good location."
This was just what we were looking for. It was a short walk from the downtown area with out the high price. The room was plenty large and generally comfortable. There was parking in a garage with a lift to the lobby area. They even let us leave the car there after checking out while we got some food and did some shopping. The attached bar was nice as […] well with great music. Next time we are in Galway, this will definitely be an option. Read more
"Irish Music in the Hotel Bar"
The hotel was ok--on a busy street but near the bus and train stations and easy walking dfistance to the historic part of town. Wifi signal was very weak in my room. Good breakfasts. But the best part was the Thursday night Irish music jam in the hotel bar--best, most authentic music I heard in Ireland.
"Comfortable, convenient, and friendly"
We had a great 2 night stay here in late August. The service was always friendly, our room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, we were able to park our car onsite in the garage, and we were a very short walking distance to the main downtown of Galway. Breakfast was not terribly exciting but was adequate enough and very convenient. We were very happy […] to stay here as a base to travel both South (to the Cliffs of Moher) and North (to Cong and a drive along the coastline) and Galway provided us with endless Irish bar and music entertainment. We would stay in this hotel again and recommend it to others. Read more

"WESTERN HOTEL, GALWAY, IRELAND"
Staff was exceptional and very friendly. Room was nice sized and clean although it wasn't outstanding. We would stay there again if in the area.

Adorable little place with a homey feel. Had 4 to our room & it was very spacious! Staff was friendly & we enjoyed the simple breakfast buffet. Very pleased.
"Close to downtown but smokey"
People were very nice and tried hard to do a good job. Although billed as non smoking hotel, cigarette burns in the tv and table top and stale cigarette smell took away from the bland interior. To be honest, not sure if could really find a non-smoking room in the near vacinity. parking was adequate. I believe I would try another holel next time with […] a higher rating. Read more
The Western Hotel in Galway City if an older hotel that met all our needs. It is in a good location and the breakfast was tasty, with quality service. I would recommend this hotel.
"Good hotel/location"
It's a 5 min walk from the Train Station; 2 min walk to Eyer SQ; and 5 min walk to the bars. We got a room for 4 people and had plenty of space. The only drawback was that the room smelled though like cigarettes and there were cigarette butts sitting on the edge of the window.
"The most enjoyable stay"
The Western Hotel was a treat. We had been driving around Ireland and got the Galway. The Hotel was our best stay from the reception, the room, the evening meal and breakfast in the morning. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel.
"Western Hotel, Galway"
Very well located with extremely friendly staff. Reasonably priced restaurant and bar.
"excellent hotel."
We booked 2 rooms for 7 people, and I was very happy with the size of the rooms we had. The food in the hotel restaurant was fabulous and the bar was lovely and homely. Couldnt recommend this hotel more highly. Staff were very friendly and the breakfast was lovely also. I will be returning in the future I hope.
perfect location, friendly stuff, great breakfast!
"Western Hotel off Eyre Square Galway"
We arrived on Friday 13th. Jan. p.m. and departed Saturday 14th .a.m. after. 1 night b & b + dinner. The photos of the Hotel certainly shows it in a much better light than what we experienced.We found it dark,cold and depressing and crampted. It is completely surrounded and in a very built up area.The central heating boiler was not working therefore […] we had no heat until later in the night when a staff member-waiter,bar man and boiler repair man had a go at the boiler and got it working fair play to him. The entrance to the car park under ground was a nightmare entrance around the back and down a very steep slope leading into a very confined ground car park.I was not sure how in the name of God you could get out of it if you needed to but through goood guidance from my wife I managed to the next day just barely. The dinner was o.k. but breakfast after a very long wait was poor. It is convenient to the City well located but we will not return.The bar was very quiet with no atmosphere. The receptionist was very unfriendly.The noise late att night outside the hotel bu twithin the general area and confines also was unbelievable sounded like a combination of wineos and the afters of a hen and stag parties that went on for what felt like hours well after 3.30 a.m. No sleep therefore until this time for me.

"IN NEED OF REFRESHMENT"
The hotel is well located and the staff are good. However these pluses are far outweighed by the negatives, the rooms are in a very poor condition. Our room had large areas of paint peeling off the bathroom ceiling which fell in the bath. The shower curtain rail fell down numerous times and the window seals are so old it is like sleeping with the windows […] open. The bed was very tired with the springs being felt in your back every time you turned over. Overall I would not recommend this hotel at all. Read more
"Western hotel"
This is second visit to this Hotel. both times i considered it superb. would stay again
"Western Hotel is great"
Great location, great value. great service!
"The Western Hotel Galway"
Location was perfect- just off Eyre Square. Slightly old fashioned hotel but that is not necessarily a bad thing ! Staff were lovely and I enjoyed my breakfast - plenty of choice for veggies. The Bar on Thur night had a good traditional music session.
"good quality hotel"
Enjoyed our stay at the western.Good hotel, very clean and great breakfast. The only down side was a 18th birthday party on the Saturday night that went on to 1.00am .Also on the Friday night there was a very noisy disco that went on until 1.00.But because we were out until 12.00am it wasnt major but if you were listening to it all night it would be […] a nightmare.

"The Western Hotel,Prospect Hill,Galway City."
Enjoyed our stay at the 'Western',the hotel is in walking distance of Eyre Square and all the attractions of the very beautifull Galway City.The hotel staff were delightfull to deal with and full compliments must go to the Head Chef and his staff.On the downside the bedrooms are small and very old fashioned.They basically need a revamp including the […] bathrooms.On the night of our stay,a private party were using the function room.Much to our dismay,we witnessed a number of evictions from this party,not a pretty sight for overseas visitors to see.However we did not hear any disturbances during the night and enjoyed a good nights sleep in the very comfortable bed.No doubt we will return some time in the future,hopefully to some new decor and a less rowdy clientele in the function room.

"Western Hotel is very well located in Galway City"
Good Hotel, a little dated, very well located but very worthy of 3 star rating - recommended for value and will certainly use again.
"Western Hotel Galway-so convenient"
I think we may have had a great stroke of luck, but we got a lovely huge room at the top of the hotel. So handy for what we were doing in Galway, and not dear. Breakfast was very enjoyable, with helpful friendly staff.
"perfect for weekend shopping break"
Very close to all the nightlife and shopping, really friendly staff, cosy bar and lovely breakfast. We were very happy we chose the Western for our girlie break :) Great showers too!!
"Top spot"
We got a super cheap deal on this hotel so half expected a flea pit, what a pleasant surprise. Stayed one sunday night in february with friends and would not hesitate to book again. Lovely bar, clean comfortable room, wicked convenient location for bars & shopping and a fantastic breakfast. The staff were very friendly and attentive. I would highly […] recommend this hotel.

"Western-not worth it"
This night was extremely over priced- which means the price was well over doubled for a busy sat night in Galway in comparison to a normal night. Other guests were extremely noisey. No shower door so bathroom got flooded. Pieces of glass on the bathroom floor. Duvet cover on the bed was not even closed. Furniture really old and not closing. However, […] close to town. Good if your going out with a big group of friends-for the normal price -not double plus Read more
"Western Hotel - A Pleasant Experience"
The Western Hotel is very close to Galway Centre. The best shops, pubs and eating establishments are all within a few minutes walk. Despite being close to the city centre, the Western doesn't suffer any outside noise disturbance. Our room was situated at the rear of the hotel and looked out over a nice tidy courtyard. The room had a comfortable bed, […] and large bath/shower in a clean bathroom. We were offered a good choice of breakfast options including a decent vegetarian option, all included in the price. The underground car park was a major selling point when we booked at the Western and we noted that it seemed to be safely monitored 24/7 by CCTV. All staff were polite and efficient, not that we needed to call on them for anything as there were no problems at all during our stay. I would definitely seek out The Westen Hotel again if I had to return to the area and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Galway. Read more

Got the hotel between four of us for £cheap per night, which included a large breakfast. Brilliant value, great location.

"Western Hotel in Galway"
The hotel was fine, very convenient to bus station and the city square with lots of shopping. What we weren't happy with was the sound of the waitress's heels clicking on the wooden floor downstairs that carried up into our room at night and also the sound of dragging the heavy chairs around to set up for breakfast in the morning. Their breakfast buffet […] was very nice. The staff were friendly and helpful. Read more
"good value"

"the western hotel galway"
hotel un pò vecchiotto, che necessiterebbe di alcuni miglioramenti nell'arredo. camere ampie e confortevoli, bagno non proprio accogliente in quanto datato (no miscelatori ecc). posizione su strada, il che rende le camere sul fronte un pò rumorose (no doppi vetri), mentre quelle sul retro sono più silenziose ma con vista sul cortile, non gradevole. […] colazione buona, varia e abbondante. Read more
"abril 2012"
el hotel bien, aunque con el frio que hacia la habitacion no era nada calentita. Por suerte nos dieron una triple y pusimos las mantas de la cama sobrante en la nuestra. En general esta bien para pasar una noche si no tienes problemas con la calefaccion.
A hotel in good location with a clean and comfortable room and with a free parking area for a fair price.

Kjempe koselig sted ! Hyggelig betjening og god frokost!
"Hotel en el centro de Galway"
Muy comodo, con calefaccion central que estaba encendida. hay un bar debajo con musica via, tipica tradicional irlandesa Bien ubicado, sin ruido. cama comoda, cuarto de bano limpio.
"Freundliches Hotel an zentraler Lage"
Das Hotel liegt nahe bei Bahnhof und Stadtzentrum. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Zimmer war sauber, aber zur Strasse hinaus gelegen etwas lärmig, was den schlecht isolierten Fenstern zuzuschreiben war. Wind und Kälte wurden deshalb auch nicht optimal abgehalten (kann in einem anderen Zimmer aber natürlich auch besser sein). Das […] Frühstück ist zu empfehlen, ein reichhaltiges Büffet und auch eine schöne Auswahl an warmen Speisen. Für einen Kurztrip mit 2 - 3 Übernachtungen ist das Hotel auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert.

"The Western Hotel: very nice"
Very well located, close to Eyre square in the city centre. Quiet and spacious room. Very clean. Breakfast very tasty.
"Très bien situé, mais la chambre est limite"
Hotel très bien situé au centre ville de Galway avec garage pour la voiture. Petit déjeuner buffet très correct. Néanmoins l'état de propreté de la chambre laissait à désirer, avec des taches sur les draps et la couette........vraiment très limite quand meme.!
tres bon emplacement, parking la chambre à 4 est une suite, TB
