Excellent location on seafront with ample parking. Secure hotel. Gorgeous foyer. Friendly staff on reception and in bar & dining room. Many areas to enjoy such as cafe, restaurant, bar & conservatory. Bright airy room. Comfy bed and great modern bathroom. Nice lift access. Leisure activities available free just to book in such as yoga, barista training, painting & Prosecco, among others laid on for residents- a nice surprise. 20 minute walk to town. Great location in Salthill with shops, banks, leisure complex and cinema for wet days. Fantastic promenade along shore to enjoy. Bus route outside gate.

Bathroom needs more hooks to hang wet towel and dressing gown.

I asked for a room with a bath and this was no problem. Pleasantly surprised when I entered arm 134. It was a lovely large room. New carpets give rooms and corridors a real feeling of luxury. The beds are large and extremely comfortable. A table and two large armchairs in the window were perfectly positioned for a complimentary tea whilst I read my book/ watched TV. I didn’t use the gym but I did swim and have a sauna. The facilities were spotlessly clean. Breakfast selection was huge, good quality and the staff were professional and friendly.

The bath could have been cleaned better.

Our recent stay at Galway Bay Hotel was truly outstanding! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure our visit was memorable. The location of the hotel is stunning, with breathtaking views of Galway Bay that make it the perfect getaway. The food was absolutely delicious, offering a range of beautifully prepared dishes that catered to all tastes. However, the highlight of our dining experience was the exemplary service provided by our waiter, Steven. He was attentive, friendly, and extremely professional, ensuring that every detail of our meal was perfect. His warmth and commitment to making us feel welcome added a special touch to the entire evening. Overall, Galway Bay Hotel exceeded all expectations, from the fantastic location to the wonderful dining experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable stay in Galway!

The whole place was exceptionally clean. The reception area was very impressive as you first walk in teamed with the amazing staff we felt very welcome to be there. We used the restaurant & the wee pub both had amazing service. The cocktails spoilt us as every other one we had we compared to the Galway Bay Hotels. They were great! We had a seaview room which my husband loved as well as overview of the park. It was the right temperature and it didn't get too warm or cold. The room we stayed in had what we needed we will be back again.

The only thing I can is, the bed was a little uncomfortable for me which may be down to the mattress. The bed I have at home is a specialist orthopaedic mattress. I don't expect everywhere to have them but doesn't prevent me from visiting places.

The breakfast was so fresh and a variety of options and delicious , best I’ve had in hotels . Most important part was the young kind warm friendly professional staff . Our bedroom window was so far up you couldn’t see out and made room uncomfortable so I said it to a staff member and he was so kind and so helpful and we got a room with a lovely sea view . Beautiful stay and fabulous location lovely walk and restaurants and cafes

The massage was poor Lovely lady Massage room needs updating and comfort and heat

The Galway Bay Hotel excels at attentiveness and customer service. From pre check-in to throughout my stay, they ensured my husband and I were comfortable and had the information we needed to have an enjoyable stay. The breakfast was also superb, with a hot buffet and continental breakfast, that felt plentiful in a relaxed setting. I will definitely return in future, and recommend.

I think the Galway Bay Hotel’s decor is a little dated in the rooms themselves, however there is somewhat of a comfort here. Everything is of high quality, despite not being as modern as other newer hotels. I also should add that what the accommodation doesn’t have in modernity, they make up tenfold in customer service and what they did have was extremely clean and of high working order.

I love everything about this hotel . Fantastic location. Amazing breakfast the best I've had in any hotel in Ireland with very attentive staff and very obliging. It's my second time staying here . Great atmosphere about the place .loved the pool jacuzzi and sauna. The rooms are large and spacious and super comfortable beds.

I can't think of anything I didn't like.

The hotel's position is excellent and the underground car parking is very secure. There is a good bar and a relaxed lounge area overlooking the bay. The staff are friendly and attentive and you can eat in Pier 56 or enjoy a similar, cheaper, version in the bar area. The room was large with a good size en suite.

We've stayed at the Galway annually for many years. Sadly, the rooms are starting to feel tired worn bathroom fittings, non functioning extractor fan and lights with a cracked sink didn't detract from our stay - but ....

I got a rook with stunning view of Galway Bay and A welcome note with 4 mini desserts and 2 bottles Ballygowan and 1 Red wine which I was blown away by the kindness it made my stay so much nicer I ate in the restaurant the food was gorgeous and the staff were lovely as was the trainee receptionist on check in. The accommodation staff were very helpful when I mislaid my shampoo and conditioner I appreciated that. As the saying goes its the people that make a place. Great staff.

Nothing. Everyone was so nice to me which meant a lot as I was staying there on my own
