Avoid rooms facing the rail and bus stations in back, as they are dreary and noisy.
Fodor's
"Victorian character and restrained opulence with black-and-white-checkered tiles, sash windows, solid oak fixtures, and crystal chandeliers. The upstairs corridors are still wide enough."

"A mile west of town (a 20-minute walk to the center) on 2 leafy hectares, this family-run Georgian manor house operates in the tradition of a country-house hotel."

These also have flat-screen TVs. All rooms now have Wi-Fi.
Comprising deluxe rooms and suites, the newer units display more attention to detail, and are the ones to request, though there is quite a price differential between these and the standard units.

Upper-middle-range
"The 123-room Ardilaun is an upper-middle-range hotel set on five acres of beautiful gardens in Taylors Hill, a short drive from Galway's city center."
