comments The overall experience was great - staff was courteous and helpful (there was no hot water or heat when we arrived, but staff got it rectified promptly), the room was clean, loved the bathroom and the pub super. The location is great and more than offsets the boisterous noise level. The price was great, too. We'll definitely recommend the hotel to friends and will stay again when we come back to Galway.

comments The staff was very friendly and the location was wonderful. However, we were very disappointed with the accommodations. It was obvious that the hotel is cleaned by the staff, however it's so old and tired that the rooms and common areas felt dingy. Our bed was extremely uncomfortable and the bedding was rough to touch and falling apart. The carpet in our room was stained and the shower curtain was scummy. The elevator and hallways smelled of cleaning fluid and the carpets in those areas were also stained and dirty looking. Despite the convenient location, we will never stay at the Spanish Arch again.

comments Great location and price, just be aware that it is above a pub so if you want an early night you will hear the band. Can't comment on food as the kitchen was closed for renovations.

comments Had a great stay at the Spanish Arch, you can't beat the location and the staff are lovely to deal with - would recommend! Its more aimed at young and lively crowd so beware if you're staying with children :)

comments Location is ideal. Staff were nice and helpful. The room was nice and simple, devoid of superfluous stuff to read and bits and bobs everywhere. My wife could have done with a hair drier, but she dried her hair having a pint of Guinness by the fire in your bar, so it was not too bad :-). Great atmosphere in the bar, good life music. A shame no evening meals were served, we had had dinners there before and the food is great. We don't like big massive impersonal hotels, we'll come back to yours next summer and reccomend it to friends.

comments Despite booking a double room, a twin was all that was available. Room was basic, but value for money and in good location.

comments We enjoyed our stay at the hotel and found the staff very helpful and accommodating. The bar had great music on at night, was warm and festively decorated. Our room was warm. Only criticism was that the carpet could do with a cleaning. Will stay there again anyway. Location Location Location!

comments Rooms were terrible. I was meant to stay there with my girlfriend but decided to check in elsewhere. The rooms looked liked they had hosted a party every night for the last 3 years.

comments In the first floor the music from the bar beneath was sometimes too loudly felt. But this does not change the overall very good impression Spanish Arch Hotel has left us and the good relation between price and services. We 'd love to visit it again.

comments Great location in the heart of Galway very convenient to restaurants and shops. Fantastic pub downstairs from rooms. Lucky for us we were exhausted from a long day of traveling because otherwise the noise from the street below may have interfered with our much needed sleep. But the room and bathroom were very nice. Final word, great place for a good price especially if you plan on enjoying the town and ending your day in a very tired state.

comments It's a very nice hotel. The only thing that would have been nice is if there had been separate shampoo and soap, rather than the shampoo and body wash dispenser but apart from that it's a fine hotel with pleasant staff from what I saw.
