I really enjoyed my stay at Hyde Hotel in Galway. The location is just superb for exploring—only a short walk to the city center and fun spots around Eyre Square. While the room was a bit noisy at times, it was cozy and clean, and I appreciated the friendly staff. My only downside was the breakfast; it could use a bit more variety. Overall, it's a solid choice for a city getaway.

I had a decent stay at Hyde Hotel, but there were some ups and downs. The location is spot on, close to the train station and tourist spots. However, I ran into issues with room comfort; the first room I got was quite small and overlooked the HVAC system, but after switching, the second room was much nicer. The staff were friendly and super helpful, totally making up for the earlier issues I had.
