Independent West Ireland hotels

"Parking was easy, managed to park outside front door. Check in was simple although the key cards did not work first time. The room was large and very comfortable. Everything we need was provided. Bathroom was spotless, we appreciated the bath as we needed a soak after a long day. We used the restaurant and food was good, reasonably priced, service was excellent, thanks Carly. The horn was quiet at night, no noise from the corridor or outside. Black out curtains really helped for a good night's sleep as did a very comfortable bed. Breakfast was excellent, particularly as we are vegan, this was accommodated with a freshly cooked breakfast. "

"It is a very nice hotel. It’s a bit of a confusing maze to find your room but that’s a minor consideration. I would stay here again. Well done."

"Very nice decor"

"The hotel is convenient to the tourist draws in the Latin Quarter but isn’t right in the noisy bustling area. There’s even a bar with trad music just across the street as well as the fun to be had with a short walk down to Shops street and the lively nightlife. I had a few problems with the room but staff were quick to fix them. Very responsive and also courteous and warm. Tiny room of course but great shower and bath. Ideal location and very nice feel. "

"Great staff, great area! City parking was tight but that has nothing to do with the hotel it’s just the parking they use. "

"Location amazing. It is loud as the bar is open until 2am across the street but the leave ear plugs in the room for you. Easy to walk to from the bus station. We had the family room so lots of space, the other rooms may be very snug."

"❤️Friendly check-in, the size of the rooms was incredible, lots of space to stretch out, comfortable beds and bedding, luxurious bathroom, view of highway which we loved, delicious breakfast. 💔The hotel was a maze, signs that don’t lead anywhere, trouble finding our room despite being given directions and we speak English, (Italian tourists we saw there are probably still looking for their rooms), difficulty finding public washrooms due to awkward signage, location-not close to anything walkable, you definitely need a car and Galway is not public parking friendly, they tell you that you don’t need reservations at the Bistro, but you do, because you’re out of luck finding another restaurant close by. Looked forward to using the pool but it closed to early for our family to enjoy after check-in."

"I mistook this to be in Galway. It’s about 30 minutes out of Galway. Still a great hotel."

"We love the Galway Bay Hotel, beautiful inside, very nice restaurants , beautiful sunroom looking out at the ocean. The Promenade is just out the front door. We took a wonderful sunrise stroll and enjoyed the view. A short walk of about 25 minutes to Quay st."
