Our Bean an tí was very friendly, generous and showed great hospitality. She did her utmost to keep us and her other guests happy and invests lots of time and money to make and keep the house a welcoming place with comfy places where we could spend the time while we stayed. She made recommendations for places and restaurants to visit which was very helpful. She made us feel at home, almost like being part of her family. We also enjoyed the peaceful surroundings and the ocean view from one of the living rooms and the deck. It is only a short walk to the shore btw. We will be back!

Jerry was great. We took more time than expected to travel from Dublin and we was waiting for us outside, at 10pm and under a typical irish night... The place itself was absolute love, cozy, bright, modern, with a well equiped small kitchen and all the cookware you may wish. Outside there is a table for spending some time on an elusive warm summer night. Galway is a short drive away, there is a lidl almost around the corner and vibrant oranmore is quite near. In sum: you can't go wrong choosing this place.

    Simple but stylish, and very clean. Great location in Salthill, near pub and restaurants and the prom. Comfortable beds. Fridge in room. Eco showers that need a button push every 30 seconds or so, which I don't mind in the interest of conservation. There is an elevator. Nice cafe downstairs. And the exceptionally well equipped kitchen is open to guests! A real bonus to those travelling on a budget or with special dietary requirements. Staff were kind and helpful when we enquired about late parking.

    Loved the location and that there was free parking outside. Only less than €10 for a taxi into the bars and restaurants so very ideal location for a night out. Beds were extremely comfortable and room was very clean and tidy. Bathroom was spotless and I loved that there was a heated towel rack which I never had in a hotel room before! Not sure how this hotel is only 3 star also! Would definitely say it’s a 4 if not a 5! Will definitely be returning.
