This hotel is conveniently located to all the best places. The bathrooms/shower is weird with no door to the shower and no fan. Other than that, this places is excellent. The bar has a really cool vibe.

Highly recommend

Loved the hotel. Its location was perfect. We were in easy walking distance to the train station and a departure point for our tour to the cliffs. Our room was very nice, however, be aware that the third floor is under renovation. Our initial room was not up to my standards and it did not have air conditioning. The manager changed our room immediately and all was great after that. The bar and restaurant are very pretty, clean and upscale. The breakfasts were exceptional for an included breakfast. The servers allowed us to customize our meal with the menu choices so that was wonderful.

The Hyde is conveniently located to everything in Galway, including the train station. The hotel has a great restaurant, which we enjoyed for dinner. We did not opt to upgradeto include breakfast. There was no air conditioning, however, and our room was very stuffy and loud with the window open. Our room did not have a fridge, nor a working coffee maker. Compared to our two Dublin hotels, the Hyde was pricier, with fewer amenities.
