King Ding in Galway

25/09/2025: The G has a decent location. We did end up taking taxis into town in the evening. There is free self parking. The only issue is getting out of there (even for the taxis) requires an awkward drive through a tight parking lot. The entire staff was professional and friendly. I think the decor is cool, lots of velvet and fun colors. Our room was clean and super spacious. Robes and slippers provided. The bed was very comfortable and allowed for a great night of sleep. There's even a mini-fridge that you can actually use and not get charged for. On check in there was a little bag of snacks and a plate of desserts with a lovely welcome note. Turn down service brought some tasty chocolates. Really nice touches. One of the highlights of the stay was the breakfast. These were undeniably our best breakfasts of our week in Ireland.

23/09/2025: A tired hotel trading off its reputation. Decor and carpets are outdated, lift at the front was broken so needed to go out the back door and 5min detour if you have a pram or in a wheelchair. No laundry service on a Sunday. Spa closes at 8pm. Room was big and spacious and bed was very comfortable. Location isn’t great, 30min walk to get into the centre and our room looked onto a Lidl car park. While hotel is built onto the side of a retail park, doesn’t exactly scream 5 stars. For the same price I would recommend the best room is a city centre hotel.
