I cannot even explain how much we LOVED staying at Granary Suites. The suite itself was beautiful - full amenities, spacious rooms and living room/dining area as well as windows with chairs to look out over the river. The area is very quiet and we spent every morning relaxing by the windows watching the swans. The location is right in the heart of the city, a few minutes walk from Shop Street and the Spanish Arch, with a number of restaurants and cafes right around the corner.
Irene is extremely welcoming and responsive; she met us when we arrived and gave us amazing recommendations for evergreen activities and restaurants as well as goings-on during our stay (Tunes in the Church - amazing concert with traditional Irish music!).
I'd highly recommend to anyone traveling to Galway and plan to stay there again when I decide to make another trip to Ireland. Wish we could have stayed longer!
