This place lacks the charm of good B&B, it reminds me of ordinary hotel. It isn't centrally located and it takes you 15-20 min walk to get to city center. The building, the room were good and clean. We had two room suite on the ground floor with second exit to parking yard behind the hotel which was quite comfy... More

Worst bed I have ever slept in. The springs poked me in hips. The first morning, no hot water. The bathroom had a great jetted tub surrounded by moldy caulking and moldy ceilings. The service was pleasant and breakfast good. The room was a nice size and great location with views of water.

The B&B was in a great location for both Salthill and Galway City Centre. We walked into both, though Galway was a slightly longer walk. Everywhere was very clean in the hotel from dining room to bedrooms, in fact there was a lovely homely smell of fabric conditioner in the house as they always seemed to be washing / ironing... More

This hotel has a great view. Try to get a room on the front so you will have a view of the bay. You are a short walk to pubs, city center Galway, and across the street from the bay which has a lovely walkway along it. You can catch a bus easily right out your door and a view... More
