I've just returned from a great weekend in the Galway Bay. It was our first time staying in the hotel and we really enjoyed it. We had a great view from our room which was beautifully decorated. I found all the staff to be really friendly and attentive. We ate in the restaurant on both nights and my husband had... more

Stayed for three nights in the Galway Hotel, and my lady and I had a wonderful time. Staff in Resturaunt & Bar were very friendly, and unusually for Hotels these days, they actually looked like they enjoyed working there. Thankfully Food in Resturaunt was excellant as my Lady friend tends to be a little judgemental on the Gourmet side! The... more

My wife and I stayed in the Galway Bay Hotel for 2 nights for a friends wedding and have to admit to being a bit disappointed with our stay. The Galway bay has an excellent reputation for its food and its luxury accommodation but we both found these to be less than 4-star during our stay. On our first night,we... more

We spent 2 nights with breakfast at this hotel and have no complaints whatsoever. While very busy the staff gave personal assistance and were all very polite and in good spirits. Great location and hotel facilities were excellent. Highly recommended. Would go back as our first choice of hotel more

My husband and I were given a gift of a night at this hotel,( we wouldn't have paid 270 euro ourselves for bed and breakfast!). The hotel itself is very comfortable, and the staff were, without exception, polite, friendly and efficient. The location is on the beach front; unfortunately there is a busy road between the hotel and the ocean,... more

Hey guys! Had a great trip again last weekend in the Galway Bay Hotel. I can honestly say I was not let down-my experience lived up to the first time I stayed there!! It was more stressful though as I lost my bag with all my cards and cash, but all credit due to the staff, they really went out... more

Stayed in the Galway Bay for three nights. Pricewise it cost a bit more than what I would normally pay so I was expecting a certain level of luxury for it. The price was probably almost fair for the standard. The hotel is quite big and busy with various events and weddings going on. There are lots of nice communal... more

Just back from a few days in the west of ireland, didn't have anything booked and I must say I was delighted to stumble across the Galway Bay Hotel in Salthill. What a fine hotel, such views from the rooms, the restaurant and the lounge area off the bar. We got a good rate for 2 nights that included an... more

I spent a week in beautiful Galway last month. The city, county and people were fantastic! The service at the Galway Bay hotel was more than a match for them all! The hotel is situated in a wonderful location in Salthill, overlooking Galway Bay. The service we received there was absolutely fantastic. The food was fabulous and very reasonably priced.... more
