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.

Staff were great! The room was lovely with a great view. The hotel is older and could use some upkeep, but it's charming. The Ardilaun is in Galway city but gives a country feel.
