"Love this place! I was traveling with my aunt and uncle and the two bedroom apartment with a view of the water was wonderful. The apartments are in a really cute part of town and there are some fun restaurants within easy walking distance along with an ATM, a little grocery store, and a great bakery. Just note... the parking is VERY tight. If you have anything other than a compact, prepare for a very tight squeeze... especially if you are parked up against one of the support beams."
"The best thing about Galway Bay Hotel is the staff. Absolutely the best hotel staff we had on our trip around Ireland - friendly, professional, and genuine. Although they are right beside an amusement park, the windows are excellent and almost no noise came in. Very comfortable and very walkable into Galway. "
"Ideally located for salthill promenade including blackrock if you fancied an early morning swim, you wouldnt be alone. The rooms are spacoous , airy and well maintained. The breakfast was scrumptious, with plenty of choice. If i was to say anothong other than an excellent stay, when they the quieter time os between 7 and 8am , only if no tour parties are staying.although the restaurant area was lathe enougb to cater for all."
"The hotel was outstanding. We especially liked the ability to walk into Galway and also were able to walk to the ferry to the Aran Islands and the train station. Lastly, we took advantage of the Spa which I would highly recommend."
"Lovely comfortable apartment. Bus outside if you wanted to travel in to Galway city but we really enjoyed the walking back and forward in to town along the promenade "
"Great location with excellent and friendly staff in the hotel, restaurant and bar. Walkable to the main shopping area but far enough out to be quite at night."
"We had a lovely stay at Citypoint. While the room was smaller it was well laid out and eaisly accommodated us and our 2 north american sized suitcases. It was central without being too noisy. Easy to walk where we wanted to go. "
"Absolutely great B&B. We stayed for 3 nights and really enjoyed during the whole stay. Really, really good and abundant breakfast with lots of options, friendly and flexible service, clean and spacious facilities and quiet location right next to city centre. Oh, and our shower was good with nice water pressure. It took maybe 6 - 8 minutes to walk from the main train station to this B&B. And it was approximately 9 minutes walk from this B&B to Eyre square, so location was really close to...

Perfect Stay
"Wonderful stay at Glenlo Abbey! The grounds and hotel are beautiful. We were upgraded to a one bedroom Lodge room. Access to the living room, kitchen and laundry were a bonus. The rooms were spacious and clean. The staff here are wonderful, friendly, informative and attentive. The Palmer restaurant is very nice and the food delicious. A ride into the city center of Galway was about ten minutes.
We couldn’t have had a better stay. "

"Lovely comfortable and spacious Room, very clean.
Only downside was the noise from other guests as the door did not fully seal with the frame therefore was not noise proof and the doors slammed closed, the noise from the slamming doors and other guests walking down the corridor to their rooms and then the slamming of the doors kept waking/me awake. But all in all a very pleasant experience "
