Booked this for my parents. They had a wonderful stay. They really enjoyed the spacious rooms, high quality breakfast. During their stay they also ate in the main restaurant and rated their steaks highly. Only area of improvement would be to have spa facilities (add thermal facilities).

What an amazing place to stay. From the moment you pull up the beauty of the hotel and grounds will take your breath away. Check-in was a breeze. Front desk staff went out of their way to show us around and to our room. Too at the front door was super helpful with our bags and then with places to eat and pubs with live music. In the morning the breakfast was perfect. Service was fast and friendly. Sad that we only had one night there and didn’t get to enjoy the whole place

Our stay at Glenlo was fantastic. Service was excellent, breakfast was great, the room was clean, the entire staff were kind, helpful, and knowledgable. The hotel is also just outside of Galway, so you feel like you're in the countryside while still being a short trip to the city center. I would highly recommend Glenlo for anyone looking to book a stay in or around Galway.
