The hotel is in a fabulous location; close to shopping, pubs, and dining. Paige provided exceptional service during check-in, at breakfast, and at check-out. I would definitely recommend staying at The House Hotel.

What a great little hotel. We loved staying here, right around the corner to the Latin Quarter in Galway, easy walking distance. The breakfast was delicious and the room was cozy!!

Hotel was great. Breakfast options were very good. Very close to Latin Quarters when we walked to and was a must see in the town. Parking was the only challenge.

Nice room. Quiet for a good night's sleep. Hotel staff were very pleasant. We enjoyed our stay. We wish we had been told about the discounted parking garage that's associated with the hotel before we checked in though. We had already paid to park somewhere else. Maybe listing it on the website or on Expedia or Google would help others.

Exactly where you want to be in Galway. short walk to everything you would want to do. easy to unload bags (loading area in front) and easy parking down the street at the carpark. breakfast was great. room is big enough and was clean and warm. staff were friendly.

Perfect location. Perfect place. It’s a cute hotel. Rooms are a decent size for Ireland. Shower can be small. But overall I would stay here again. It’s very central located. Bus pick up are close by.

This is our third visit to Galway. The House Hotel was a good fit for us. We like being to be able to walk around Galway. There are many shops, night spots and restaurants to dine at within walking distance. The hotel does have an elevator. Parking is relatively close and it isn't free. Breakfast was good. I prefer perked coffee and had to have Americano here. Would recommend.

This is a understated, stylish hotel that is very relaxed and friendly. The rooms were a good size with tea and coffee making, iron and ironing board and safe. King sized bed was very comfortable. Very good location but parking is a multi-storey along the street. I’m not that fussy, but I did think breakfast was disappointing … tried all the (limited) options during my stay but most were overlooked or dry. There’s plenty of better options near by which I’ll choose for my next stay there.

The lobby and included breakfast area has been renovated and is a nice pleasant space. The rooms and corridors are worn, shabby, stained and in need of an overhaul. Construction noise on the first level began around 0830. Very disappointed in the 9.2 Expedia rating. Not at all what I was expecting.

Huge wet patch beside my bed. Carpet soaked and water squished through my toes. Leaking from the shower?
