Galway Bay Hotel

Prós: The friendliness of the staff. The food was excellent

Contras: Delay in cleaning the table after eating

Prós: Really friendly staff, excellent cooked breakfast, beautiful terrace overlooking the sea.

Contras: Having booked a triple room only a double & single bed were available in the room.

Prós: Location great food. Confortable bed

Contras: Liked everything.

Excellent base to explorer County Galway and Count

Prós: The ample free parking was great. No car juggling to get in or out, which one often finds in Europe. Very nice view and an easy drive to Barna and Spiddal for good food without the crowds. The room was large and comfortable and the WiFi worked well. The staff was very friendly.

Contras: The restaurant was over-priced for the breakfast buffet compared to other places we stayed on this trip. The wait staff seemed overwhelmed by large groups on tour busses, which made for slow service. Basically, the restaurant was understaffed and over-priced. The Coco Café a short walk up the street had an excellent Irish breakfast and good service for about 1/2 of the cost of the hotel.

Prós: Great location for making trips outside of Galway. Staff were wonderful and the room was nice.

Contras: Our room was located by the park and two nights people drinking at the park were extremely loud. The hotel staff were apologetic and took care of the problem. It would have been nice to have a fridge in the room.
