I stayed at this hotel for one night and would have no problems staying there again. Rooms are lovely and spacious and even though it is near a busy roundabout the windows are very soundproof. A marquee was been erected beside the hotel, I presume it was for the Galway races. Hotel was very busy with lots of german tourists. Reception and bar staff very friendly and efficient. Only downside to this stay was the terrible bar food, I expected more from a hotel of this standard. Overall a lovely hotel with beds to die for, so comfortable.

Stayed in the Clayton with some friends for 2 nites in early July. I would have to say that the Clayton is a very solid 4 star hotel. We arrived early on the Friday, as we were travelling from London and arrived in Galway airport at 11.30 am. The hotel was only 5 minutes away, but they had no problem with our early check-in.

Even though the hotel is next to a busy dual carriage way, it is an attractive hotel; the lobby is striking, with lots of glass; the rooms quite luxurious and spacious..ours had 2 double beds, with a walk in wardrobe area and large bathroom.

Room service was instant, almost.. The food in the bar was excellent and efficient, and it was very busy at lunchtime, which is a good sign. The hotel had a decent pool, a little small, with sauna and steam room..it was a pity they didnt have a jacuzzi though, and the fitness room just had a few threadmills and rowing machines..Breakfast each morning was fine, with a good selection.

One thing, the lobby was very cold, both in daytime and night, so i would recommend the hotel investing in some heating there.!

All in all we had a great stay in the Clayton and would have no problem recommending it.

  • Liked — The room was very comfortable
  • Disliked — A little way out from Galway city

we attended a friends wedding and i must say what a pleasurable experience, check in was a no fuss affair, very quick and hassle free. the hotel itself is fab, the rooms are quiet spacious, we were provided with 2 huge queen size beds, which were like sleeping on clouds!!So comfortable ( after only booking a reg double at no extra charge), the bathroom is so modern. the best of everything was provided. a great place to stay for any occasion esp for the famous galway races which was only a five min walk! will definately stay again. well deserving of it's 4 * status.

Stayed here in April for a night. We stayed in an executive suite and it was AMAZING. The BED WAS THE MOST COMFORTABLE BED EVER. The bathroom was HUGE. Staff were really nice and friendly. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone. We had breakfast the following morning and again delicious.
