Hey everyone!!
Spent the long weekend at the Galway Bay again and have to say despite everyone telling me to try something new I'm really happy I didnt!

Actually it felt like I was returning home!!Charming staff, a nice cosy bed- pity about the weather though!

No hessitation in recommending it!!

The website gives a much better impression of the hotel than was actually delivered. We had an ok stay with the rooms being nice and clean, the reception staff were slightly abrupt but this could be due to the fact they were contending with many different languages. There are fantastic views from the hotel and the surrounding area ws brilliant to go for a nice crisp October walk.

myself and my wife have just returned from a 5 night break on the west coast of ireland 2 of which were spent at this hotel, the location and the room was fine and the staff very helpful the food in the bar was really good but we found the breakfast was not up to the normal standard mainly because it was cold.

We stayed at the Galway bay hotel at the end of September, to attend the oyster festival up the road. We booked using our airmiles, so were really pleasantly surprised to find that we were allocated a lovely room. Previous expereince with airmiles bookings is usually the basement or over the kitchen!. The staff were brilliant, so helpful and always cheerful. We ate in the restuarant on the first night, the food was fabulous. Sadly we did not take advantage of the leisure facilities due to lack of time, but it looked very inviting. We did a long walk along the coast, and wandered into town to eat on the second night. If we had not over indulged at the Oyster festival I think we would have appreciated the area and facilites a lot more. On the down side there were functions going on both nights and the noise from neighbours late at night was an irritation. People smoking in the entrance to the underground car park was also a bit disconcerting as this could hardly be called an outside space and we had to walk through the clouds of smoke to both leave and enter the hotel.
