Convenient Hotel for Clarecastle Area
What could have been a positive experience was spoiled by the shock of a dirty toilet. Also surprised by lack of any printed material in the room both relating to hotel facilities and places of interest in the locality.

Arches hotel is 10km from Galway city. We needed an overnight stay for an early hospital appt and this accommodation met our needs. Staff friendly and food was adequate.price was reasonable for 2 persons. Good sized room we have stayed in this hotel previously and would stay here again

Great Hotel
Great service and an amazing breakfast. The room for families was very large and we loved the set up. The only negatives were the lack of air conditioning and we were near a very noisy street.

Great hotel
Brilliant hotel for a family break, everything we needed in our bedroom and the food was fantastic in the restaurant. Breakfast served until 11 which was an added bonus. Would definitely recommend, has everything you need, clean comfortable bedrooms, comfortable beds and very friendly staff.

Perfect getwaway
Our stay at the arches was lovely. The rooms are very comfortable and accommodating breakfast served every morning was delicious . Our room did get very warm I'm sure it was because of the unusually warm weather we were having outside .

found the staff very friendly, large 6ft bed, lovely breakfast. unfortunately I could not stay my second night as I had to leave before planned. hope they gave my room to the next person FREE as I had it paid for and they had ample opportunity to get it ready for someone else.

2/10 Poor

bad experience
Room v cold and although I had booked via Internet I paid on checking out. Was charged for one night instead of two even though I queried this. Got call to say they undercharged. I called to hotel to pay but they tried to charge me more. Real Fawley Towers. Chef comes on duty at 7am but has to "get things warmed up" so realistically breakfast is at 7:15am. Not ideal. Never again. Claregalway hotel methinks in future

2ND stay and 2ND mistake
we stayed Hereford one night last year and although disappointed at the time thought we would give the place another go......Never again! The hotel is clean and well located, the staff are ok but nothing special. Although the internet is advertised as free good luck if you can log on.....it's a total joke. Building work was underway when we stayed, at night the corridor outside of the room was very loud. Breakfast was OK, coffee stone cold when brought to the table. Many better hotels to stay in the area so one of those next time I think......am writing this review at 00:05am and can still hear objects being moved.....ridiculous!!

Suburban Hotel
Nice hotel, but just starting a remodel when I was there. The check in staff didn't do something correctly so it took an hour to sort out the pre-payment of my room when I tried to check out. Annoying as I was on a schedule for my travels today.
