Funny chemical smell in bathroom.

Beautiful grounds. Comfortable rooms. Attentive host.

Breakfast

Disappointed with breakfast. It said continental breakfast so was expecting some meats and good cheeses but just very basic triangles of cheese and no meats of any kind.

Nothing, the staff was great. Breakfast was continental could have more variety. They have a fancy coffee maker, but was not used.

This was a great place to stay. we were 15 minutes outside Galway. A great home base to explore the area. It's a fully restored Castle with a legit medieval tower next to it. The Castle tour was very cool - an unexpected bonus - the history, the restoration and being able to go up into the tower.

It was wonderful. If there is anything to add, perhaps robes and slippers.

Huge, airy rooms and easy check in. Close to a couple of restaurants and a gorgeous abbey. Very communicative and helpful host. It felt like staying in a museum with antique and historical furniture but with very comfortable, modern mattresses. Enjoyed the tea and wine included as well as the tour of the tower (and adorable cat running to greet us).

There wasn't anything I did not like about this location.

The staff at Claregalway Castle were great! They greeted us like family when we arrived and treated us as such our entire visit. They took us on a private tour of the tower and answered any and all questions we had. Breakfast each morning was continental buffet style but there was plenty to choose from along with hot tea, coffee, and fresh made expresso/cappuccino. The castle was close enough to Galway to not make it a chore to get to town but far enough away to not feel overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of the big city. They did not have room available for a family of 4 that suited our purposes so we reserved 2 rooms and requested adjoining if possible. They were able to meet our request with ease. They had a bottle of complimentary wine in each of our rooms for us to enjoy along with waters, coffees, and teas (with tea sets!).

The breakfast was delicious and fresh, everything was so clean and nice, the staff were very friendly, it was a beautiful restored building and there are some restaurants/shops/coffee in walking distance

No hot breakfast, but the fruit and yogurt and fresh fruit were more than we could eat anyway.

What a beautiful setting and grand place to celebrate my birthday! It was just special with so many wonderful touches. I loved the linens, dishes, flowers, tower renovations, hosts attention, and great big comfortable bed.

Kind of wish that there were blackout blinds. The big heavy curtains blocked the majority of the light but they allowed a lot of light in around them.

Spacious, extremely clean, quiet, close to Galway.

The castle was wonderful. The host were so good. We had a flat on our way to the castle and the host called and was concerned about us. When I told them what was going on he was so worried about our safety. We did a walk through of the castle and it was wonderful. John your workmanship is the best. You did a wonderful job.

Jerry and John provided an excellent experience, especially the tour of the castle by Jerry. The rooms were exceptionally large, the bathroom was new, the beds were comfortable. Overall, a fantastic experience! Just a quick bus ride to Galway, would definitely stay again!

The breakfast was rather small. Eggs would have made it better, even if they were hard boiled.

This property is amazing. Very unique, comfortable and clean. We were greeted in the parking lot upon arrival. Mike gave a great tour of the castle after breakfast. Perfect location to explore from.

Rooms are a good size and cozy. Breakfast was included and wonderful for a light meal. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The location was beautiful and close to the city without being in the city. We would stay here again!

We had a small hiccup getting in because email instructions were sent just the day before and as we were traveling we weren't keeping a close eye on our phones.

Unique experience to stay in a castle! Tour provided too which was interesting. Everyone was very friendly and kind

Not a single negative but we did have a little problem finding the gate

An absolutely wonderful relaxing three nights in the Abbey room, lovely friendly and knowledgeable staff. Even Elizabeth the cat was attentive to our needs.

Absolutely beautiful! Interesting history! Such a wonderful combination of old and new! Beautiful finishes and touches! And… the property caretaker was a wealth of knowledge with first hand information about the property renovation… he was a joy to talk with!

The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating to all of our needs. The breakfast was just enough to get you started for the day. Our room overlooked the river and was scenic, quiet, and peaceful. Loved it. One of the staff gave us a personal tour through the castle and Elizabeth, the castle cat, greeted us each time we returned from being out and about. Felt like home away from home.

A truly unique and beautiful property. The bedroom was gorgeous, spacious and very comfortable. Lovely welcoming staff that made you feel at home. Love the history and story behind the castle.

Everything. Not too close to Galway and also historically fascinating. The tour of the castle and story about the renovation was super!
