Nice antiquated hotel in Galway. Away from the city center, so it was nice and quiet. The rooms were spacious, we had a bed each for the kids, so as a family of 4 we could stay comfortably for 2 nights. However, everything is dated, the swimming pool is nice, but old and had an pool stench, nothing too bad, but you could sense it. Breakfast was nice and basic. It was a little pricey considering how dated everything was, in its heydays this must have been a pretty luxurious place.

My husband and I stayed at The Ardilaun for six nights and it was the one of the best experiences we've had when travelling. The rooms were immaculate and spacious. The staff were very warm and hospitable. The Bistro Bar was my husband's favourite as he watched the World Cup games there while having a pint of Guinness. All in all, 10/10 for The Ardilaun for us! We would love to go back.
