Hotel berhampiran Detours Trail, Oughterard

Ashford Castle was a highlight on our recent trip to Ireland. The staff are quintessential professionals, and the accommodations are exquisite! Our meals there were delicious, and so well presented. Despite the rainy weather we went to the Falconry School and did a Hawk Walk...a unique experience and so much fun! We highly recommend adding this to your Must Do list on any trip to Ireland.

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.

I have been staying at this hostel since December 22nd, and everything has been very nice, good and clean rooms with nice bunks and the hostel includes a good breakfast. Then at 02:40 on December 27th four young drunk men came bursting into my room with laughter and noise and turned on all the lights, they had obviously been out partying but they did not stop partying when they entered the room, and they used the toilets all the time and made a lot of noise. I became quite upset about this, but I was concerned for my safety if I said anything, so I left the room for over an hour, when I came back to the room those four drunk men were snoring and breathing heavily so I could not get any sleep for the rest of the night. The following day I complained to the reception about this inconsideration. Jessica, the manager of the hostel took matters into her own hands and told me she would make a note about those men for the future. Jessica also put me into a new room where I would be alone for my last night at the hostel so I could sleep well without anybody disturbing me. This is what I call good service and Jessica went beyond her duties to compensate me for this inconvenience and that should be rewarded.

My self and my husband had a couples full body massage in the g hotel and spa in Galway city today the 22nd.of SEP 2024. It was the best massages that we have had ever. The two ladies Tatiana and Edyta were amazing and very professional. I would rate their work ten out of ten and I would highly recommend them for other guests using the spa experience..

We visited for two nights, the first of which was our anniversary. We were provided expedited access as we arrived early, and a lovely and thoughtful welcome amenity. The hotel is located within walking distance from the city center, the complimentary parking in an attached garage is a huge benefit, and the breakfast included with our room was filling and tasty. The room was spotless and very large, and the bed comfortable. The uniformly helpful, professional, and pleasant staff made the visit more than the sum of its parts. They really were first-rate. I recommend this property without (so to speak) reservation.

We chose this hotel for its location halfway between relatives and Galway city. It is a fine hotel; clean and safe, but that is about it. The restaurant was good.
