Stayed here for a weekend with 12 children and 9 adults for a sporting event held in Galway every March. We have previously stayed at The Salthill but due to overbooking we were forced to stay here!! What a mistake that was.Not knowing the hotel and going only by its web page we went ahead and book 11 rooms.it must be the worst experience of a hotel stay to date and not cheap at that 60 euros each for two nights stay and with a triple room thats 180 euros no room rate only here. TRIPLE ROOMS thats a joke we were put into room 5 downstairs with one single bed and a double which was more like a small queen size and a bathroom circa 1970. If you are looking for somewhere nice to stay in Galway check out The salthill or The Galway bay but please please stay well away from this one!!!!!!!

Stayed here because we needed a hotel that's dog-friendly. It's not so easy to find dog-friendly hotels in Galway (or in Ireland in general) so we were really pleased to get a room here. Our room was very clean, comfortable and faced a quiet courtyard garden. We're pretty fussy but I wouldn't say there was anything unsatisfactory about our room. We had 3 dogs with us: the management was very understanding - I think they'd agreed to 2 but we had a last minute addition! Parked right in front of the front door. They gave us a friendly welcome with offer of tea/coffee in the bar on arrival and to help carry luggage to our room. Breakfast was just fine with simple but adequate choice of cereals plus a cooked Irish breakfast. Location of the hotel is good if you don't want to stay in the hustle/bustle of city centre (about 5-10 mins drive away). But stroll 5-10 minutes down the road and you reach the Prom so it's perfect if you (and your dogs) want to join the locals and take a walk along the edge of the sea from Salthill to the city centre (40 mins). Look, this is not a luxury 5* hotel, but for a clean, good value, friendly hotel (+free wireless internet) that's got some character, it's a great place.

Stayed here for 3 nights during the volvo rtw yacht race.Local elections were on at the same time so it was pretty busy but we never had to wait around for anything.Our Host the Wonderful Gerry is a bundle of energy.. Eamon who runs the bar at night is a true professional of the Bar,in Ireland this is taking very seriously, as is right! The Bar is Pub prices and only steps away from our room which was very comfortable with TV ensuite bath and shower and a nice veiw to the garden out the back.The bus stops right out the front on the half hour to go into Galway(10 mins) and Galway bay and salthill prom a 3-5 min stroll away.We were on Honeymoon but still found it a romantic sort of place in only the way that the Irish can do it!Breakfast was included in our rate but we got up too late to have any,Gerry threw in a few free pints and is a true Gent.We loved it so much we stayed there again for a night the weekend after,Would never stay any where else in Galway and I highly recommend for a few nights.You can ring a taxi on the hotel hotline 10 Euro into Galway Center and it's a great base for day trips to Connemara and The cliffs of moher and Burren in North Clare.Hope you enjoy it as much as we did and as long as you are not the type that needs to have their bum wiped you will.Free wifi worked great and 6 free car spots out the front.We just parked up and used Taxis and the bus as Galway does have a traffic problem and it's just far less hassle and given the price of petrol in Ireland compared to Australia not much more expensive.You also get to see more.See you in 2011 Gerry!!!

This hotel has to be one of the worst ive ever stayed in the room was filthy and the breckfast was not evan included in the 129 euro a night price that i paid (it was the Galway races week) and as for parking thats advertised what parking the total of 5 spaces which were all taken definitly not a hotel that if your under 50 that you should stay in.
