“Great experience, fun area”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 May 2012 NEW

As others have noted, the manager Peter is a very friendly and helpful fellow. He was really charming and did a lot to help us with directions and places to eat or shop. Our rooms were kept spotless, and although it wasn't luxurious the rooms and beds were comfortable. Great blow drier in the room. Salthill is a fun suburb of Galway, with a great nearby walk along the Galway Bay, and good convenience stores and varied restaurants, pubs and a microbrewery nearby.

The pub downstairs is popular and can get noisy. Also, don't expect a typical hotel type experience. It

Smack bang in the center of Salthill just where you want to be. Nice hosts, Peter was lovely and friendly. Lovely bar downstairs. Rooms are a bit dated but were spotlessly clean and had a nice powerful hot shower. Great price , great location!

“Girly night away!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 March 2012

We stayed here for one night a couple of weekends ago. Initially it was meant to be 4 girls but ended up 3. We arrived, had to park on the street (luckily we found one) and pay for parking. Peter welcomed us very warmly and was extremely friendly and helpfull. The price of the hotel doesnt include breakfast which is hard on us hungover girls in their 20's.
Salthill is unfortunately a bit run down also, the recession has not been kind to such a lovely town.
