Frommer's "Locations don't get much more central than this: Perched on the edge of Eyre Square, the Hotel Meyrick is right in the center of the action in Galway." Full review

Avoid rooms facing the rail and bus stations in back, as they are dreary and noisy.
Fodor's "Victorian character and restrained opulence with black-and-white-checkered tiles, sash windows, solid oak fixtures, and crystal chandeliers. The upstairs corridors are still wide enough." Full review

Guest rooms are bright, airy, and uncluttered; choose between a magical view of stony hills and sparkling sea, or a ground-floor room with private patio garden.

"This hidden Clare gem is housed in a grand 18th-century manor...21 rooms and suites combine antiques with contemporary countrified furnishings (and purposely no TVs); some open to private garden areas" Full review
Michelin Guide "Far from the grim stone fortress conjured by the name, Gregans Castle turns out to be something quite a bit more refined and urbane: not a castle at all, it’s a 250-year-old manor house, lovingly maintained, thoroughly renovated, and reopened as a charming and elegant country house hotel, the sort of place that’s far too high-class to boast about the famous names in the guest book" Full review
