Best Hotels near Church of The Assumption RC, Athenry

Traveled with a tour group who arranged our accommodations. My first impression was that this was student housing. There were signs with a dress code specifying the shoes are required….also saw a lot of university age people coming in and out. Seem to have a variety of room types, some with kitchenettes. We had a twin room which was comfortable but a bit worn out. The dining was nice. Since we had just one night we were happy with the travel stop.

The deciding factor in choosing this hotel is free parking. Facts have proved to be very wise. What is surprising is that the hotel facilities are very sophisticated and the breakfast is delicious, especially the smoked salmon. About 30 minutes walk to the town, the hotel reception lady is beautiful and enthusiastic, and helped us book a 2017 Michelin restaurant to eat raw oysters. It was great, and it would be difficult to eat without a reservation.

We stayed at Hyde hotel, in Galway, and realized that it was another one of those great location hotels. It’s walking distance from Ceannt Train station which was great for us since this was our first trip. It was nice not to roll our luggage across the whole city just to get to our place. It seems like it's in the quieter part of town even though there's a few bars in the area. If you walked down passed Eyre Square on William St. towards the latin quarter its very lively but not everyone may be into that while they're trying to sleep. Upon arrival, since we were early, the hotel allowed us to leave our luggages there while we took a walk around town. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. One time, on our way back from an outing, we realized that we ran out of their complimentary coffee/milk/sugar. We went to the front desk and asked for them and within minutes the same desk attendant went to our room and personally delivered them to us. Our room had an enclosed patio, covered in tropical foliage (obviously not real) that brought in a cozy vibe. I don't believe that they have air condition, we didn't have any in our room. But, open the glass sliding door and bring in the fresh air, again this is Ireland and AC wasn't a big deal to us. The weather in Galway was sunny all week but it wasn't crazy warm that we needed air condition like in the states. By the way, we stayed on the second floor which was convenient if we wanted to take the stairs instead of the elevator. They have a nice restaurant that was also recommended by our tour bus driver. We also ended up booking a tour, Kylemore Abbey and Leenane, and the tour meetup was at our hotel, perfect!! This is a great hotel to stay in, there's a couple of stores across the street to stock up on essentials that you may need. We will definitely stay in this hotel again.

Everything was 100% but for the price of €305, and with breakfast not included I found this very expensive.

We stayed in a ”snug” room at the Lane at the end of May/beginning of June 2023. Upon arrival, we had a small snafu over our reserved parking space but it was resolved quickly by the front desk person (Vanessa). She also provided us with good tips on places to eat and drink. The room was indeed ”snug”, but that was expected based upon our reservation. The bed was extremely comfortable, the shower was very nice, and the in room A/C worked perfectly. This hotel is located located ideally in Galway. It is easy to walk to all of the sights in Galway and close to the hop on hop off bus in Eyre Square and another stop. It's also easy to drive to. It's also right next to the bus and train station if traveling via those methods. Pubs and restaurants are within steps of the front door. We loved that the hotel had an elevator (lift) as most of the places we stayed in Ireland did not have one. Additionally, this is one of the few hotels we stayed in that had a refrigerator of any type even though it was pretty small. If we return to Galway in the future we will definitely stay at the Lane again.

Very convenient, clean, good service
