Mountain View Guesthouse
What a lovely guesthouse! It is spotlessly clean and quiet, and Patricia is a welcoming and gracious host. She prepares wonderful breakfasts each day. I highly recommend Mountain View if you want a Galway-area stay, a bit outside the city.

Queen Street Place
Citypoint Apartments
Dryer In apartment 3 didn’t work. Clothes never dry after 5 hours. After check out and leaving car park and having to return to front desk to return key fob is a problem.

Galway Bay Sea View Apartments
Place was great - spotless, comfortable, convenient. The only knock we had was that the washing machine didn’t work. Would recommend to anyone visiting Galway.
