Hotel berhampiran Newtown Castle, Ballyvaughan

골웨이 가려고 묵었던 호텔인데..근처 시골스러움이 좋았어요. 아일랜드 전통지붕가옥도 근처에 있어서 분위기가 색달랐습니다 호텔에 포함된조식은 영 아니네요. 아일랜드여행이 길어진 영향도 있지만요..

What a lovely location, a gorgeous hotel and the swimming pool was great with the added bonus of an outside hot tub overlooking the sea. My room was 631 with a large king bed, desks, adequate bathroom with bath and shower, seats with table, desk and TV and all the usual facilities in a hotel room. No sockets by the bed though which is something all hotels need to have now but that was the only criticism of the room. Staff where lovely, helpful and friendly although I give 4 stars as check-in didnt happen for 10 minutes due to no staff being at the reception, no idea why but it got sorted OK. The hotel is clean, the room was clean, well presented and very welcoming. I had breakfast which was the normal cooked breakfast buffet, toasts, pancakes, breads, cereals, tea or coffee, juices with plenty of seating options and a view of the sea. The staff were great, the food was good and the atmosphere relaxed. The view gives you a great start to the day. I used the pool which was great. Some families there with kids, a swimming lane, working steam room, sauna and heated jacuzzi. The outside hottub is amazing. It is a must do at this hotel. It was raiing on my stay so the outside tennis court and kids play area werent being used but its worth a mention that they have these. Location feels remote but its only 5-10 minutes from Salthill and Galway by car. There is a petrol station beside the hotel on the main road and a small village. I guess you access the hotel by car, taxi or bus.

After an overnight flight into Dublin, there are several bus lines and regular services to drive you to Galway (expect about a 2 hour drive). From the bus stations in Galway it's a 15 minute cab ride (less than 20 Euros). Galway Bay Hotel has a great view on Galway Bay within walking distance of the suburb of Salthill restaurant and bar area. You are however a good 30 minute walk from the Latin quarter of Galway city and its historical venues. Galway Bay Hotel has its charms with vast rooms and dedicated staff. I can not however give this an ”Excellent” nor a ”Good” score. First there is no AC. First night there the weather was unseasonably warm, and it was uncomfortable. Although the room was clean, there was lingering musty smell (I suppose it was coming from the carpet). Overall it's a good stay but manage certain expectations.

Had an amazing 2 day stay with my mom. We come up every few months, and this will defo be our new place to stay. We absolutely loved it, beautiful views from the sea view rooms and really good breastfast. Hotel didn’t feel overly busy and staff very friendly and helpful. Can’t wait for our next stay in July😊

Quick overnight stay. Very pleasant staff, fantastic location, reduced parking rate in car park right beside hotel. Comfortable clean room

Great Stay! Rooms spotlessly clean and small but comfortable. QUIET, even though our window was right over Quay Street, a crowded pedestrian walkway, we slept not hearing anything. Centrally located! And the guys at the front desk really know how to do customer service! We stayed in one of the rooms with three beds. A great place to stay! Jim G.

The hostel was easy to spot on the corner of the Square when i got off the bus at the station and it was a warm welcome and efficient check in to a clean and airy room with a view onto the corner of Ayre Square. The beds were comfy enough and the bathrooms were clean. I appreciated the breakfast, which was simple but ample, and with a slight local twist. The atmosphere was good in the hostel throughout my 3 days there, and this is in part due to work of the staff. I'd particularly like to mention Tom, who was always friendly and provided good tips and suggestions when asked. The only drawback would come if you are a light sleeper. It's in a great location but remember it's a hostel in Galway right above a bar. It does get quiet for a few hours before daybreak at least. I did feel tired after 3 nights. I would go back though, but maybe for one or two night next time!

Beautiful hotel, overlooking the water. Pool with sauna, steam room and an outdoor hot tub. Wonderful breakfast. overall a great experience. Walking distance to all you would want in Galway. Wonderful staff to direct you for whatever you need.
