Stayed for two nights with friend from Cork Central, comfortable, clean - and friendly staff - would stay here again. Everything you'd expect and very good value for money. Recommended, as is Galway - good pubs and great restaurants

Stayed here for 3 nights and loved the location! Very central and walking distance to all main attractions! The room was spacious but the wifi was not very good. Pub downstairs was great and staff were extremely friendly!

We stayed here only for a couple of hours to have a few drinks including an appetizer. Fresh oyster was served after 5 which was great in quality. You can also order beer from the bar to consume next door at Mc Donagh's seafood. Unfortunately, we could not be longer to listen to the life music. This place was also... More

My husband and I have stayed her twice now, It is a great location! If you are looking for a swanky luxury hotel you may want to look else where... The Spanish Arch is more about night life and friendliness then posh surroundings. Can be a bit noisy at night, however the nights out make up for it. the staff... More

I've stayed at the Spanish Arch many times over the years. It's in a great location on the pedestrianised shopping street full of restaurants and bars. The rooms used to be great but they now look a little tired and there's a few annoying things that aren't good. Having booked a twin room it's not really on to get one... More

Great location! The Spanish arch itself is actually on the river with a lot history. We didn't have reservations, walked right in. Our room was the smallest I've ever been in! But great water pressure and bathroom! Our room was on the 1st floor and we could smell dinner cooking from the pub and a lot of noise at night... More

We were let down with accom in Galway and had to make a few last minute phone calls. There were 4 of us, and one of the calls we made was to the Spanish Arch Hotel. They offered us a quadruple room for just 79e. This hotel is on Quay St , one of Galways most lively and atmospheric streets!... More

After persuading two colleagues to come to Galway and sample all the atmosphere it has to offer, I wanted to stay somewhere right in the heart of the Latin quarter . The Spanish arch was the obvious choice, it looked great on the website and it's location was second to none , right where the bars and restaurants are renowned... More
