    Spotless hotel in a lovely building not far from The Salthill Promenade and very good restaurants. Early check-in, late check-out, fully-equipped room with a brilliant view and comfy bed and Seaview. Free parking onsite provided. Incredible, stunning location close to the bay.

    Comforts of reasonably priced and well-appointed triple room with a beautiful view were fabulous.

    There were very uncomfortable beds in our room.

    We really loved our stay at the Galway Bay Hotel and wished we could have stayed longer than 4 nights!. We most certainly would recommend the hotel to friends and family. We would like to return in the not too distant future for another lovely holiday at the Galway Bay Conference & Leisure Centre.

    Very impressed with superior room with a really comfy bed. Unbeatable and exceptionally nice location just a short stroll away from Galway Atlantaquaria Aquarium. Based just off a quiet area.

    Extremely busy area.

    Lovely sea view room ..(181) .even if booked on Booked.net !!! the reservations manager was very friendly and efficient , so were the waiters/waitresses either at the restaurant or at the bar . Great choice for breakfast . well situated, not only for Galway itself but also for touring Connemara, weather permitting ... Large free parking places .
