Overall solid experience. Nothing really stood out as unusually exceptional, but there was also nothing to really point out as a flaw. It's a bit of a walk to anything, as it's mainly in a residential area, but that's part of why I chose this location.

A little farther out of Galway than I realized when booking. There was some kind of teenagers party going on that evening. When my husband and I stopped by the bar for a nightcap, the staff ignored us for a good 15 minutes. When we went up to bed we were awoken numerous times by teens running up and down the halls banging and screaming at the doors.

They do not have king beds only queens they call kings and you have to wear a bathing cap to be able to swim in the pool. Other than that we had a good stay enjoying breakfast and a nice long walk into the heart of Galway.

The hotel was great by itself. Room was great and the overall space was also great. Easy and plenty of parking. It is a decent distance outside of the town centre so you need to taxi or drive to avoid the 30 min walk. I would say we had a different experience with the bar restaurant than perhaps others. While the service was good, the food was not. I’d place it last amongst 10 days of meals we had in Ireland. The fish and chips one had was not crispy rather a bit soggy. So consider options outside of the hotel if you have the ability.

Staff very lovely and genuine. Really nice bunch. They seem short staffed and run off their feet. Hotel was rather tired and dusty in places. Room looked out on a dirty roof where all the a/c units were. Food was ok. Gym was good

The hotel is very nice and the staff are very pleasant. We had a booked a meal in the restaurant on Wednesday night because we thought it would be quiter than the bistro but when we got there we was told that is was closed and we had to eat in the bistro very annoying. In the mornings between 7.30 am and 8.00am we had a tractor outside our bedroom waking us up with the noise it was a shame that this spoilt our stay

Hotel that has not kept up with the times
Hotel has nice grounds, but the rooms are dated. Stayed at 4 other 4* hotels on my vacation and The Ardilaun did not felt like you do not get what you are paying for. Pillows and bed were not comfortable, walls are paper thin and could hear all surrounding rooms using the bathroom all throughout the night. Door was not closed after servicing, but luckily nothing was taken. On the plus side the staff is amazing, welcoming and attentive.
