Our first visit and we would thoroughly recommend the Galway Bay hotel. It exceeded our expectations. The staff were friendly and professional and the atmosphere was welcoming. The room was clean and spacious. The breakfast and meals in the restaurant were delicious and for myself the fact they had a vegan/vegetarian menu was wonderful. They have various complimentary activities which include wine tasting and paint and prosseco which is a lovely touch. The location is right across from the promenade where you can sit looking out to sea or go for a stroll. Can't wait to go back.

Friendly staff, quiet atmosphere, and a clean room, but the property as a whole is showing its age. The breakfast was a letdown—it felt reheated rather than freshly made. Fine for a quick overnight stay, but foodies should look elsewhere.

Lovely ocean facing room with lots of space.Bith the room and bathroom were clean if a little old fashioned. Staff in reception were very helpful but found the restaurant( Brasserie) staff a efficient but not particularly warm or welcoming.
