Un hôtel classique !

Bon accueil, chambre agréable. Hôtel un peu excentré mais environnement relativement calme. Petit-déjeuner correct mais un peu décevant pour un 4 étoiles.

Westwood Hotel

Hôtel au calme un peu au nord de Galway. Grande chambre, mais pas de climatisation (il est vrai , normalement peu utile en Irlande!) Bouilloire + tasses + thé et café soluble à disposition dans la chambre.
