comments Nice hotel, bit old fashioned. Staff very friendly. Food was ok, nothing extraordinary. Would probably be more akin to a 3* hotel, but can't complain about my stay.

comments It did not have a 4 star feel to the hotel. The staff are lovely and the food and service was excellent. The bar was understaffed and alittle small for a large gathering. The ensuite and the room in general was not modern. There was an odour in the bathroom on arrival. There was no dvd facility and the tv was small and old. While we were staying as you are aware, the fire alarm was maliciously set off three times on the Friday night and once on the saturday night. We were not happy with the way the hotel handled this situation and it did impinge on our enjoyment of our stay and our impression of the hotel in general. We had a weekend deal but would not stay at the full rate prices as we feel it is overpriced for what hotel has to offer.

comments hotel was amazing (as usual) food/room/spa etc all amazing. staff in restaurant were great. male supervisor covering night service lovely, slightly disappointed with service in bar but that was probably because of the amazing service we got on the last occasion we stayed. i commented on this on the customer satisfaction card and got a phonecall from the bar manager to discuss my experience. i appreciated that. congrads on the amazing service.

comments We were allocated room 120 1st floor which was directly above a function room and loud music eminated into our room until midnight on Thursday 28th which proved most annoying. We also found the choice from 6 items for main course dinner of which 2 were fish and 1 vegitarian restrictive.

comments We had a wonderful stay in Ardilaun. The hotel and staff were wonderful and assisted us and our 1yr daughter at all times.The only problem was on the Wed night at dinner we were delayed with all courses. 20 for starters and 40 to main course. We did not take the 2nd course. It meant that we had to try and keep our daughter quiet over an hour and a half while sitting in a highchair. Not an easy task. We mentioned it when checking out.

comments This was our second stay at the Ardilaun Hotel which is still a very friendly and hospitable hotel. The staff were very pleasant and helpful and the food, both in the restaurant and bar was excellent. The only disappointment was that the room we were in was quite dated and there doesnt appear to be great soundproofing as we could hear quite clearly noise from adjacent rooms and the plumbing from the room above was in need of attention! It is in a great location, within walking distance of Galway City and Salthill and is a nice place to spend a few days relaxing.

comments Overall the hotel was satisfactory, however they lost a lot of marks for the quality of the room they origninally gave us. We complained straightaway and were moved to a much better room. Dinner in the restaurant was nice, but it should have been made clear to us at the time what was or was not covered under the rate we were paying.

comments We have stayed at he Ardilaun hotel before, even during renovations, and have always found the hotel staff most helpful, the rooms very comfortable, the facilities (gym and pool) very good and the food of a very high standard. It is a good walk to the city but there are buses. how frequent they are I dont know.

comments We got a lovely quiet room. There was a comprehensive list of items on the Breakfast Menu. The dinner was beatifully cooked and presented and the service was excellent. I do however think that the changing rooms in the leisure club really let the rest of the hotel down. Also, when we arrived there they did not have any proper towels left and we were given a red one and a towel with a disney cartoon on it. Still a 5 for me though. Feel free to edit and use.
