Rooms for small, but very well laid out with all items catered for full
Price was a little excessive at €150 for two people for a room only and stairs were quite steep. No parking available.

It’s in a quiet location of Galway, beside the sea side just perfect for a relaxing break before the Christmas holiday 😊, the staff were so helpful, the room was clean & had everything you needed, I was even cold & they put an extra heater In the room, this is our second stay & it definitely won’t be our last 😊

Exactly what you need as a solo traveller. The rooms were super clean, big enough to fit you+ bags and they really thought about using the most of the space with access to hangers and hooks for clothes. Bathroom and shower seemed like new. The bed was really comfortable. On the top floor where I was, there is no black out blind so it is bright in there, especially in Summer with the early sunrise but they provide an eye mask and earplugs (which i didn't see until the next morning unfortunately). Drinking water supplied in the room also along with toiletries.
Could hear the seagulls running on the roof until about midnight and then again from 4am. IF I had used the supplied ear plugs, It wouldn't have been an issue so my bad. Two pillows provided but both were really big and found it not to my taste so would suggest getting a different sized, smaller pillow along with the bigger one so there's an option.

Lovely accomodation in the centre of Salthill, ideal for a two night stay for a couple. Received a very warm welcome and well informed about the accomodation upon arrival. The room was modern, bright and very well decorated. Luxury toiletries, teas and coffee along with little extras in the room such as a sleep kits, chocolates, water and vanity kits were a lovely touch. Excellent value for money and would definitely stay again.
The shower being separate across the room from the toilet/sink.

I've been staying in salthill past few years as opposed to eyre square as it's a lot quieter it was my first stay in the blackcat as with previous accommodation in salthill everything was on your door step restaurants,bars,casino,cinema,the bus is only 10 mins spin to eyre square but you could also walk which I did a few times which was only 20 minutes.the rooms were small but I knew that before hand but had everything required.
I suppose if breakfast was included it would have been a bonus other than that a very nice stay

I loved staying here and will absolutely come back. The room was great. It had an awesome window seat that allowed you to watch the street traffic below. I could walk to all the places I needed to go and parking wasn't far. The restaurant was nice, I missed having dinner by a few minutes.
I had a hard time finding it because the sign is really small. Also, my GPS stopped working within a block, so I had to park and walk down the street looking at all the buildings to find it.

Everything was really clean and well kept. It was easy to get help when needed and staff are super friendly and helpful.
One morning I wanted to sleep in as I was out quite late at a family reunion. However, cleaning staff decided to have a very loud and long chat and what sounded like boiling a kettle and having a cup of tea right in front of my door (room 7), which prevented me from having a somewhat quiet morning. Obviously the doors and walls are not sound-proof, but I would have appreciated, if the conversations and kettle boiling had been kept downstairs.

A very comfortable room, small and yet had everything required, finished to a high standard. The Tapas Restaurant below the guest rooms is exceptional - highly recommend and make sure you book! The location is excellent, right on Galway Bay and easy walking distance to the main part of town also on a bus route and taxi rank right out the front door. I will definitely stay here again.
It is an old building so be prepared for narrow staircases to the rooms and rooms are on the smaller side.

We did not partake in the breakfast, but the restaurant looked amazing. The ease of getting in and out of the room, with an amazing location truly was perfect.
All facilities were thought of but the shampoo ran out rather quickly, for instance, water and two glasses were left which was great. There was a do not disturb door sign that we did not use. At one point although we had told staff we had everything we needed, there was no need to clean the room. Our door had been accidentally left unlocked, yet we were still in the room, although we said hours earlier we had everything we needed-someone began to enter the room without knocking. We had fallen asleep but they did not enter fully- we responded with no thank you we have everything we need to the person who half opened the door, they then asked if we needed water. We had said we had everything we needed, so this confused us slightly.
