Claybaun hotel has a great location. 10 mins from City centre by bus but within in a quiet upmarket residential area. Great point for driving for day trips.

Gorgeous room, excellent food, leisure facilities adequate, friendly and helpful staff on desk (checkin and out) and Aaron was particularly helpful as a porter among his numerous other duties!

Re LEISURE CENTRE ONLY - not hotel! Pool is run by a different owner. Raised a concern/issue at pool & gym sign-in desk which wasn't responded to at all, and the person on the desk took a call mid conversation. Apart from being downright rude, it was a blatant disregard for customer service of any kind. Note that this is not a reflection on the hotel but NRG who run the leisure centre.

Lovely hotel, gym was fantastic. Rooms very nice and comfortable. 8 minute drive to salthill promenade.

No water in the bedroom during our stay😞 Would have liked to have used the hot tub (main reason I booked the hotel), however I didn't have a swimming hat which I didn't know was required and as I had no cash with me when I went to the pool to purchase a hat and staff would not add it on to my room charges, I was unable to use facilities which was very disappointing indeed.

I recently stayed at the Claybaun Hotel in Galway for three days, and I have to say, everything was absolutely excellent. The hotel has been newly modernized, and it shows in every detail. The rooms were spotless and very comfortable, providing a perfect place to unwind. The staff were incredibly attentive, always willing to help and ensure that everything was just right. The restaurant was another highlight, with a great selection on the menu, and the food was consistently delicious. For the quality of service, comfort, and dining, I found the hotel to offer excellent value for money. I would have no hesitation in returning and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful stay in Galway!

Nothing

The hotel is lovely, and the staff are very helpful and friendly. Our room was very clean. They provide shampoo, shower gel, etc. in large reusable bottles, which cut back on plastic waste, which is excellent. There is a very good bus service right outside the gate which brings into the city. The only thing I would have any comment on is the towels. We hung our towels up after using them in the morning. In other hotels we have stayed in, this means towels are not to be replaced and will be reused. When we got back that evening, towels had been replaced, which surprised me. Overall, it is a lovely hotel and will hopefully we will be back to stay soon.

The food was absolutely fantastic — every meal was delicious and clearly prepared with care. The staff were equally wonderful: warm, attentive, and always willing to help. Nothing ever seemed like too much trouble, and their friendly approach really enhanced our experience. Unfortunately, the beds were not very comfortable, which impacted the quality of our sleep during the stay. It’s a shame, as everything else was so enjoyable. A better night’s rest would have made the experience perfect.

Room couldn’t be faulted, beds very comfy and shower was fantastic. Immaculate Modern room with a smart TV so great for the little ones to watch YouTube & Netflix. Staff were also lovely. Dinner & breakfast were both very tasty and enjoyed by all my family, loads of options for the children too!

My only negative though is the noise. The closing and opening of doors late at night & very early in the morning is extremely loud, I am not a light sleeper and I was woken numerous times, it also disturbed my children, there doesn’t seem to be any soundproofing at all or even door closers just to stop the constant slamming sound as the door shuts. I have noticed other guests have said the same. It’s such a shame because it is a beautiful hotel and I really enjoyed my stay but the broken disturbed sleep has put me off from booking again.

Lovely hotel, just a little too warm in the bedroom for me but when I asked for a fan, I got one asap. Beds very comfortable. Staff very friendly and helpful. We stayed on the Friday night and would have stayed in the hotel bar for drinks etc but there was no entertainment on and the place was very quiet, so we went up the road to Sheridans where we got some music and cocktails etc but we did have a lovely afternoon tea the following day back in the Clybaun. The hotel very near the beach and city centre which is a bonus. Would definitely go back there.

Bedroom was a little hot but the hotel supplied a fan.

Clybaun Hotel is outside the city centre, making parking effortless. Service, room and equipment are good, and the room is quiet and comfortable. The hotel has a leisure centre, which could be seen as a plus.

The Leisure centre is open to the public, making it quite busy. The swimming pool is more of a playground and relaxing water pound, so don't expect to do swimming training. The Wi-Fi was okay, but not terrible for a large city.

The room was really lovely, breakfast options were really good and staff friendly, although reception staff didn't seem to have much information when asked about specific details (ie babysitting, transport options). We enjoyed the pool also and the hot tub. It has a bus stop outside so it is easy to get into town.

Travelling with kids, we were disappointed that there was nowhere for the kids to play (indoor or outdoor) and the courtyard was under construction. There was a misunderstanding about baby sitting services which we were told were available but weren't. It would be really great if they had a small area for children to play, read a book, chill, etc... so they are busy/entertained and don't run around bothering other guests.
