The Westwood House Hotel is one of those places that for my partner and I, blurs the line between 3* and 4*. The rooms are nicely laid out and feel quite fresh, until you use the bathroom and discover that there is no discernable air extraction running and any smells generated are there to stay, unless you want to leave...

We stayed for a 3 night break in early January. From the moment we arrived we were made feel very welcome by the receptionist on duty. We had booked a superior room and the room we got was large, clean, comfortable and nicely furnished. Breakfast, cold food from buffet or hot from the kitchen, was good but not exceptional. We...

Having worked in the hospitality industry for over 20 years, and being a "foodie" I was quite fussy about our wedding venue. From the moment we walked into the Westwood Hotel we were sold. Every aspect of the weekend was arranged for us, and everything was just perfect. I could fault nothing, rooms, staff, food, helping with other arrangements for... More

The Westwood Hotel is pretty far from the Galway city centre—about 10-15 minutes by cab. There were several parties, weddings and whatnot happening during my stay there, but that may have been just because it was around New Year's. The staff was extremely efficient helpful, and booked tours to Connemara and the Cliffs of Moher with the bus picking us... More
