The Hotel is no go! The room I booked was supposed to have a size of 28 sqm, but actually the room was not larger than 14sqm! The Hotel manager told us that the roomsize on booking.com is just a rough estimation and that he has never measured it! What a joke! The rooms all have the same size he told us. So long story short, don’t go there it’s not worth it!

Reviewed Aug 29, 2026The owner and his staff were super helpful to us as we navigated one of the participants illness. They accommodated food requirement, showed us where to get the laundry done and kept our humor up. After our trip, they even arranged for one of our lost items to be returned to us.
The rooms in the front do get a bit of road niose.

Struttura vecchia, la colazione non è continentale ma prevede un piatto a scelta e buffet con 3 succhi, yogurt in vasetto e 3 scelte di cereali. Lontana da tutto eccetto che dal porto di partenza per le isole Aran. Il prezzo troppo alto per la qualità del soggiorno.

Reviewed Jul 23, 2026An Cruiscin Lan is a quaint inn located just outside of Galway along the Wide Atlantic Way. The restaurant offers standard Irish fare. The rooms are traditional but the wifi connection is good. We enjoyed walking along the rocky coastline in the early morning followed by the hearty breakfast at the inn.
We were routed along single lane country road in the hills around Galway by both the rental car's GPS and google maps. It is better to drive into Galway then take the R336 over to An Spidéal.

No lift The manager was told I had a broken toe and I was wearing a surgical boot but he still put us in a room on the second floor It would have been simple to offer us a room on the first floor I feel as they were obviously not fully booked. We were on a 6 day road trip so lots of luggage to cart up two floors and 3 landings !

I paid for a deluxe room, with balcony and sea view, but we got a room with a balcony you could hardly stand on and a view of 5 air conditioning units. You can see the sea to the left, but it’s deceptive in the way it’s advertised. The hotel just need to remove deluxe and a sea view from the room description.
