The House Hotel an Ascend Hotel Collection Member

We just returned from our time in Galway and had a wonderful experience at the House Hotel. The location and hospitality were amazing. We were set up in the apartment down the street and it was fantastic. Special thanks to Jules and Emmett at the front desk for making us feel welcome and making our trip special. Emmett makes the best whiskey sour in Ireland. Thanks again.

This review is for the 3 bedroom apartment. One room in the apartment has its own bathroom and the other two share a bathroom in the entry way. Each room has their own key card but the apartment has a physical key to get into the entry way. Our room was okay, the furniture in there was very cheap and or missing. One end table was gone with the table lamp on the ground and the other was very rickety. You will also have to deal with the street noise throughout the night. The hotel itself was great, and breakfast was good. The staff working the hotel was great as well. We just expected more from the apartment especially at a hotel this nice.

Not sure how this hotel rates so high. If I had to pick one word to describe it i would say, "adequate" would sum it up. Staff was very pleasant and very helpful. If your coming to Galway to party and only need a roof over your head then this does the trick with a short walk to the bars and restaurants. The hotel mind as well not have windows because the very best view you will get is of a building next to you or a street. The worst view will be of building equipment and trash right outside your window. Breakfast is typical powdered eggs and cheap sausage with a finicky coffee machine. You can tell this place is trying hard to find a place in the boutique hotel space... but it misses thr mark. Like I said... if you are looking to store your luggage some place and just have a bed to sleep in... this will work. If you enjoy hotel atmosphere, views, amenities and a decent breakfast i would look elsewhere.
