excellent!!
I made a mistake with booking (a day early). I phoned the hotel directly and they couldn’t be more helpful and changed the date even though this wasn’t offered on Hotels.com.
The hotel was lovely, as were the staff, its placed close to the centre and a few minutes walk.
The breakfast was lovely too.
Ill be staying again !!!

Amazing!
The staff were fantastic, the hotel was immaculately clean and a great location. A special shout out is required, due to a jet lag we kept strange hours the first few days in Galway, the late night team, in particular Jonathan and Tyrese provided outstanding customer service without batting an eye to our strange hours and are the reason we will without a doubt be returning to the Harbour Hotel. Thank you both, and look forward to visiting again soon!

The room was beautiful and clean, and the staff helpful. The bar was nice. Walkable everywhere and especially being on Galway Bay, walking the promenade was so beautiful and spiritual. I would come back!
