The hotel was great by itself. Room was great and the overall space was also great. Easy and plenty of parking. It is a decent distance outside of the town centre so you need to taxi or drive to avoid the 30 min walk. I would say we had a different experience with the bar restaurant than perhaps others. While the service was good, the food was not. I’d place it last amongst 10 days of meals we had in Ireland. The fish and chips one had was not crispy rather a bit soggy. So consider options outside of the hotel if you have the ability.

The hotel is very nice and the staff are very pleasant. We had a booked a meal in the restaurant on Wednesday night because we thought it would be quiter than the bistro but when we got there we was told that is was closed and we had to eat in the bistro very annoying. In the mornings between 7.30 am and 8.00am we had a tractor outside our bedroom waking us up with the noise it was a shame that this spoilt our stay

Hotel that has not kept up with the times
Hotel has nice grounds, but the rooms are dated. Stayed at 4 other 4* hotels on my vacation and The Ardilaun did not felt like you do not get what you are paying for. Pillows and bed were not comfortable, walls are paper thin and could hear all surrounding rooms using the bathroom all throughout the night. Door was not closed after servicing, but luckily nothing was taken. On the plus side the staff is amazing, welcoming and attentive.

I can’t say enough good things about The Ardilaun. We came for a wedding, everything was amazing, including the staff and service. We occupied the lobby until the wee hours and the staff continued to give us great service. It’s a beautiful older property, but has tons of character. I would love to come back and visit next time I’m in Galway.

Enjoyed the stay, good sized room, all in good condition. Two areas for improvement;
1) Some of the hot food trays were not replenished at breakfast 30mins before breakfast ends and remained so until pointed out to the management who then took action to rectify.
2) No shampoo in the dispenser in the swimming pool gents showers.
