Saw the new 2025 Ireland hotel rankings and realized I lucked outgot The Hardiman in Galway for €89 a night in January, usually closer to €180. Looks like a bunch of the “Rising Stars” 3-stars are running big winter promos too if you book a couple months ahead.
Honestly I’ll take a clean, central 3-star with breakfast over the €600+ castle stays any day. Only catch I’ve run into is those surprise “heritage fees” some places tack on after booking.
