“had a great stay-- give it a try but ask for updated room”

My husband and I stayed at the Best Western in May while traveling in Ireland. We stayed in 5 different towns and hotels and were pleased with our stay here.
The hotel may appear a bit dated on the outside but we were surprised with how nice the interior was, as it appears to have been updated. I did ask for one of the updated rooms as I had read previous reviews and it seemed like there were a mix of old and updated rooms in the hotel. We were given one of the updated ones and were happy with it. The room was very nice, great furniture, the bed was super comfy and one of the best beds of our trip, really nice linens and the bathroom was great as well. The bar and lounge were a cool place to hang out upon returning from your days travel. The hotel is not in the center of town, so you do need a car to get around, but we had one and were visiting other tourist attractions that required one anyway. The breakfast was a buffet style traditional Irish breakfast which was very good. I also found the staff to be quite pleasant. This was our first stay in Ireland and unfortunately due to some airline connection troubles, our luggage did not make it with us and was delayed a day and ½, however, the receptionist was kind enough to contact the airline for us and follow up to make sure it was delivered to us and was placed in our room once received. Overall we had a very nice stay here and I would recommend this hotel. My only suggestion is to ask for an updated room when doing so as it appears from the other reviews that some people had the older outdated ones.

Good hotel for the money. Not a great location for walking around Galway. We had a car, so this was not a problem. Rooms were a nice size and were very clean. Overall a positive experience and we would stay again if visiting Galway in future.

“disgusting dirty dive”

Best Western Flannery's Hotel

5 Aug 2007
2/2 found this review helpful

We stayed in this hotel for 2 nights in july. On arrival it looked tatty and dirty but decided to check in and hope for the best. The bedroom was very dated, dirty and dingy. The carpet and net curtain was filthy. The bed linen was old and didn't smell fresh. I was too afraid to look closer !! The bathroom was tiny with hard towels and smelled of urine. I asked to change rooms but was told there was none available, even though i witnesed people checking in after us. Thankfully we spent very little time in the room. On leaving, my husband found unused Durex behind the curtain ! This shows the level of cleaning carried out in this hotel.

“Great place - if you live in a ditch !”

Best Western Flannery's Hotel

24 Jul 2007
4/5 found this review helpful

Stayed there in double room in July 2007. Had a degree of difficulty finding a room in Galway for the weekend in question but this hotel had some availability and now I know why !
For the price of €140 per room per night I would have expected something reasonably good.
Reception were friendly and the decor in the lobby was pretty nice and we expected the same in the room itself.
On opening the room door on the 3rd floor - I could see that this was clearly not the case. Bedding was old and frayed, curtains and window were filthy, shelves in the closet were that dusty and dirty that they hadn't seen a cloth in at least 5 years and one could easily write ones name on them !
Bar was dingy and resembled an old folks home and the music backed up this theory !
Bedding was gross ! Room was gross ! A total dump !
Told the girl on reception of our dis-satisfaction and received some cock and bull story about that floor not being decorated while all the others were - her story like the hotel and the surroundings Stank ! Wouldn't put a dog in this place. Stayed in many hotels all over the world but this place makes Fawlty Towers look like the Beverley Hills Hilton. A kip !
