In August, we stayed at the Corrib Great Southern Hotel because it was part of our CIE Tour. We were originally scheduled to stay in Salthill, but we got downgraded for some unknown reason.

The hotel is located outside the city; nothing was in close proximity. We were not walking distance to any restaurants, cafes, shops, nothing.

Our room was a good size, plenty of space for our two suitcases. We had the basic amenities (coffee/tea, small TV, hair dryer). It seems the furniture, lamps, bed were in poor condition. We had a sunken old bed, the couple across the hall had a TV mounted on the wall, duct tape holding the TV remote together, and a very, very small room with two twin beds that had a view of the bus parking lot. The rooms could use some updating. Our room faced the front, which over looked the bay. We had a great big window that only opened a crack so no breeze got in. There was no fan in the room and there was no air conditioning. I worried about noise from outside interrupting our sleep, but the only real noise came from the hallway. There was a big gap under the door so you can hear lots of doors slamming shut. From the hallway you could hear every thing going on in the rooms.

The worst part of our stay was the small bathroom. There wasn't any counter space, the shower water pressure was poor and there wasn’t any hot water. The room across the hall had a sink that overlapped the tub.

I can say the front desk staff were extremely helpful and the bar is very, very nice. I doubt that I would stay here again. There are plenty of other hotels. However, Galway traffic is the worst, so it may be a good plan to stay outside the city.

if this is a 4 star hotel, i am an astronaut. i spent a night there with a group of other 27 people and everyone will tell you the rooms were old, dirty, stinky and a very poor staff. the only good thing was the view over the bay. We couldnt get a shower, nobody of my group did; rooms stink, towels were dirty, remote control didnt work. waitress serving you holding the fruit salad with a finger inside the cup. The location is very far from the center. A member of the group told me the morning after that he had to put perfume over the pillow to cover the stink. DONT GO THERE!

Nice check in staff on arrival but that is the only positive thing I could say about the hotel.
Was put in room at back of hotel when arrived, so hot could not breath. Was then moved to a superior room! That was a joke the only thing superior was the view.
Shower tiles dirty and broken, a stench of cigarette smoke, wallpaper everything stained from cigarette smoke, stains on bed linen, broken tiles in swimming pool area, to name but a few of the items that I came across..
If i could rate this hotel lower than 1 (Terrible) I would.
I would definitely not recommend this hotel.

My brother and I were on a tour of Ireland and spent a long weekend in the Corrib Hotel. The staff were absolutely excellent and the breakfast to die for, including the pastries! We had rooms on one of the upper floors with excellent views of Galway Bay. The rooms were generously sized and spotlessly clean and the room rate was reasonable. All well and good but the staff made our weekend, recommending things to do and see in Galway and helping sort out a problem with our car rental - would definitely re-visit.

Stayed here for work in January. Friendly receptionist checked us in. Rooms ok. Not great location if you like going out at night - EUR10 in a taxi to city centre which adds up. Restaurant REALLY gone off - my desert had cream on it that was clearly gone off. It smelled rank. When I complained to the waiter, he said - Oh is it (gone off)?- and deleted it from the bill - no apology, no explanation. Ok hotel.
