Caroline, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Solid place but no AC

Was a nice hotel. Happy about the price and cleanliness. Location was good but a little far if you want to be in the center of the city. No AC which I was taken back by just a fan in each room. Staff was very kind.
Natalie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice, a bit dated & isolated but on beautiful Galw

The main level, reception, lobby, & restaurants & bar were very pretty. Furnishings a bit dated. Nice location across from Galway Bay & Salthill Promenade. 45 minute walk from Eyre Square & Galway City Center so a bit isolated
Shelby, 1-night trip

Rather old fashioned hotel in good location, we were only there for one night.

Loved our stay

Amazing location. The hotel is a little dated but it was still comfortable. And the location and views are worth any negatives.
2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very comfortable and quiet. Beautiful view from the veranda. Easy to walk into town. A nice variety of food offerings and helpful front desk staff. They do a lot of weddings which makes the vibe a bit odd at times with guests seemingly being put off by beachgoers while they're in their wedding outfits and it closes the veranda to guests for weddings. It is a large part of their business but an alternative location for guests to enjoy during weddings would be a nice addition.
NAKINA, 2-night trip
