 What Our Hen Parties Say

Siobhan Ryan’s Hen Party

Just a short note to thank all the staff for such a great weekend at your hotel. We had a group of 18 ladies staying and everything from the moment we arrived was top class. The staff were genuinely so  friendly and welcoming towards us.  The food was delicious and rooms were spotlessly clean and fabulous. Daniella in reception  was exceptionally  obliging , professional and helpful and gave great advice and  direction to our many questions! Bruno was so professional and helpful  from the booking right through to check-out  and went over and beyond to make sure we were well looked after.

I would 100% recommend the House Hotel for any occasion  it is in a great location for Galway City and I look forward to going back.
