6/10 Good

Good location but not the most comfortable

While in a great location, it felt like trendy decor was prioritized over more meaningful renovations. The restaurant and bar were beautiful, but flies frequented the "clean" glassware. While we loved Galway, this hotel wasn't the most comfortable stay.
Hannah, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A hotel with character that is both close enough to Galway's city center without being too close that it keeps you awake at night. The staff was also very friendly and accommodating! Would stay at the Hyde again!
Adam, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent location, extremely helpful and kind staff, very comfortable and clean room.
Monica, 1-night trip

This hotel is conveniently located to all the best places. The bathrooms/shower is weird with no door to the shower and no fan. Other than that, this places is excellent. The bar has a really cool vibe.
