The hotel had no air conditioning, which was not a problem except that the windows could only be open a small crack.

Our first visit and we would thoroughly recommend the Galway Bay hotel. It exceeded our expectations. The staff were friendly and professional and the atmosphere was welcoming. The room was clean and spacious. The breakfast and meals in the restaurant were delicious and for myself the fact they had a vegan/vegetarian menu was wonderful. They have various complimentary activities which include wine tasting and paint and prosseco which is a lovely touch. The location is right across from the promenade where you can sit looking out to sea or go for a stroll. Can't wait to go back.

The Galway Bay hotel has a lot of seaside hotel charm, a return to seaside resort vibes from decades past. The hotel works hard to provide a premium experience. Our only complaint is that with warm weather, the rooms become too warm.

We had a nice view of the beach. However the room and bathroom could use an update.

No AC in this hotel, not a friendly staff, you have to make reservations for amenities and restaurant visits, so that's annoying if your plans change or time have to work your scheduled amenities time. Breakfast was OKAY, I feel like they have down graded a bit, but raised rates. The buffet breakfast was a bit sad. Not what it use to be.

Overall, a good hotel in Galway, situated in the Salthill Promenade, directly across from the ocean. Hotel is getting dated. Restaurant options are limited and you need to walk another 5-10 mins to find anything else. Rooms are small-ish but not terrible. No AC. Parking is easy and ample available. Reception was very friendly and helpful. Pool is small but fine for kids. Swim caps are required.

Breakfast. I feel like I have already submitted this info. The coffee from the “Machine” was horrible, horrible! Fortunately I discovered if you asked for “Pot” you had the most wonderful coffee. Traveling with a 10 yr old and 19 yr old made the Irish Breakfast not a good choice. On the 3rd day we ordered the “take away bag”. Both girls loved everything in it. Congratulations. The pool was a nice change. Being on the BAY was also FUN. Walking to the Prom Music show GREAT! We never tried Lunch or Dinner there. We did try lunch/lite bites at the Prom and were blown away. Sorry we can’t compare. Our room was nice, skimped on towels and the tub faucets were totally foreign to us. One hand towel for 3 folks was a bit unsanitary. The water was nice, the safe great for travelers. Best of all, your Front Desk Greeters were PERFECT!!!

Everything in the room and hotel was spotless, all staff were very friendly and helpful, parking easy and convenient. The breakfast was nice, especially with a view of the prom. About half an hour walk from the city centre but it's a lovely walk.

Hi there, I chatted front desk about the painting of the 3 boats under sail on the wall between the brasserie doors and the rostrum. I was wondering if its a show piece or hotel piece and can you let me know who the artist is please... Thanks again for a lovely stay. Adrian

Lovely ocean facing room with lots of space.Bith the room and bathroom were clean if a little old fashioned. Staff in reception were very helpful but found the restaurant( Brasserie) staff a efficient but not particularly warm or welcoming. Location very good for sea front and for transport linksgto town centre.Some good bars and restaurants around- better value than eating in the hotel

Friendly staff, quiet atmosphere, and a clean room, but the property as a whole is showing its age. The breakfast was a letdown—it felt reheated rather than freshly made. Fine for a quick overnight stay, but foodies should look elsewhere.
