I had a mix of experiences during my stay. While I enjoyed the spaciousness and comfort of my room, the location was quite noisy, and I faced some challenges with service. The dining experience had its highs and lows too, which affected my overall satisfaction.

My room was lovely and spacious, featuring the most comfortable hotel bed I've ever slept in. However, the noise from the busy street directly outside was bothersome during the night.

Although I encountered some friendly and helpful staff at times, the initial reception felt unwelcoming, and certain interactions didn't meet expectations. I felt that the staff could benefit from improved attentiveness.

The hotel is in a central position, making it easy to access the city center. However, it is right next to a main road, causing disturbance due to early morning noise.

I recently wrapped up a three-night stay at The Huntsman Inn and found it to be a fantastic experience. The spacious room was bright and comfortable, and the restaurant served some of the best food I've encountered in Galway. However, I did have a minor issue with dim lighting in the windowless bathroom and a bit of traffic noise that might disturb light sleepers. Overall, I would absolutely consider staying here again.
