About

The best address in Galway City Hotel Meyrick combines a stunning four star Victorian hotel with a superb convenient location. Built in 1845 the hotel has played an integral life in Galway City for over 160 years. Stepping into Hotel Meyrick is like stepping into another world. Accommodation at the Hotel Meyrick Galway consists of 97 luxurious bedrooms many with views onto Eyre Square. The corridors in the main part of the building are extremely wide designed in the Victorian Era to allow two ladies in hooped dresses to pass each other; today they have been elegantly restored with marble and rich rugs leading you on to luxurious guest rooms. The Square Spa and Health Club is Galways most refined retreat. Once you have entered the Spa the team of expertly trained therapists will guide you through the range of exquisite treatments soothing away stress and restoring your bodys natural beauty. The Hotel Meyrick offers a range of bars and dining options from fine dining in our newly refurbished Oyster Grill Restaurant to the laid back atmosphere of the Oyster Bar to our new late night lounge TOSH.

The Location The Bar The rooms The style The staff was helpful enough, but not the most welcoming front desk I have ever come across. The breakfast room is a bit like a cave.

Beautiful hotel with spacious and elegant rooms at the center and heart of Galway, only a 1 minute walk to the train station and a 3 minute walk to the Latin quarter. The hotel is in a beautiful stone turn of the century building that has been updated with all modern amenities. The rooms make you feel like you're staying in a palace.

Excellent value- we got a special deal for 26euro for 2 people including breakfast! A hostel would have been more expensive. We are still wondering if it was a mistake! The decor is looking a little tired for a 4 star.

The hotel's location is ideal. The staff were helpful and friendly. There was no parking facilities on the grounds of the hotel, we were to use the nearest public car park. Our room was not ready on arrival, the reception rest rooms were overdue a clean. As this used to be the Great Southern Hotel, I was keen to stay here but disappointed as not up to the standard as the Great Southern Hotel. Breakfast the following morning was disappointing. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the hotel is situated right in the centre of town.
