Location was great. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The room was spacious and exceeded expectations.The evening entertainment was very good.

Dinner was average. Breakfast was disappointing. Of the 3 hotels I had stayed in this week. It was the most expensive yet the food didn't come up to the same standard as the others. The dinner menu was limited. The breakfast was very disappointing . It was lukewarm and got cold very quickly. There were no fried eggs. The other 2 hotels I stayed at offered a cooked breakfast with a buffet. They were both cheaper and provided a better service.

Great location. Comfortable, spacious rooms. Bed enormous. Great gym and pool. Mini fridge in room, bottled water provided. Warm, lively atmosphere in bar/restaurant.

No mirror near a socket to help when drying hair - minor issue. Very tiny cups for tea/coffee in the room and no accompanying biscuits - again minor issue.

The staff were super friendly. The facilities are gorgeous from the Decor in the lobby to the bar to the rooms. The rooms were really clean and the bed was very comfortable. Really enjoyed the cocktails in the hotel bar. Tasty & reasonably priced.

I have stayed many times in salthill hotel and was disappointed to see that pay parking has since been implemented particularly when paying to stay over for a substantial amount of money. The heat in our room & corridors was crazy hot. This was partly our fault as we hadn’t thought to look for the thermostat in our room. I feel the menu in the bar was lacking a few ‘usual’ favourites. I distinctly remember it used to have a delicious Thai green curry which I was disappointed to see was no longer available. I feel like the menu could have a lot more choice.

The location is fabulous. The staff in the bar were excellent.

Some of the waiting staff at breakfast and lunch were very poor. We waited ages for someone to take our order on both mornings.

Everything about my stay at Salthill Hotel was exceptional. The room was very clean, spacious, and comfortable, with a large bathroom. There was an iron provided in the room, which was really handy, and a mini vault for storing valuables safely. The hotel facilities were fantastic — especially the gym and leisure centre. There’s a full Olympic-sized pool, a warm water pool, jacuzzi, and a steam room. Highly recommend checking them out! The facilities are open daily from 6am to 10pm. Breakfast is served from 7am to 10am and costs €15 per day. It was a decent, medium-level breakfast — the same menu each day, so not a lot of variety, but overall acceptable. Not exceptional, but not bad either. A big thank you to Daiane in the restaurant — she was always friendly and welcoming! The location is great — right on the beach with just a street in between. You can easily get to the city centre on bus no. 401, but make sure to buy your ticket using the TFI Go app or bring cash, as card payments aren't accepted on the bus. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely stay here again!

I found the breakfast a bit expensive considering it was a fairly standard breakfast with the same menu each day. It would have been much better if breakfast was included in the room rate.

The hotel was very nice and staff was great. Location was wonderful as well, we had a room overlooking the ocean which was beautiful. The location was a little far from the town centre but we did not mind because we like to walk and there were taxi's available if needed.

The only down side was the restaurant. It was a beautiful room but unfortunately the service was not very good and they were out of a lot of things. They said the weekend was much busier then expected so that is why they ran out of mussels, beer we wanted and Redbreast 12 whiskey. The manager of the restaurant did go way out of his way to try to make things right so that certainly made up for those issues. We decided not to eat there our second night, they also seemed very short staffed so we wanted a little better experience at our dinner the second night.

My wife and I stayed here for one night during the Galway Races in July. We booked with very short notice and were more than pleasantly surprised at everything in the hotel. The staff are very attentive, friendly and professional in their work. We took advantage of the 3 course meal for €42per person and couldn't fault the food which was fresh, flavourful and filling! The facilities on offer are fantastic as well with a really well kitted out gym, two swimming pools, sauna, jacuzzi, steam room all available to guests. Overall, we couldn't recommend this hotel enough and we will definitely be looking at a return visit in the future.

Pretty much nothing.

Spacious comfortable room overlooking the sea. Within easy reach of a bus stop from which one can take the bus into Galway city, a short busy ride away. Salthill village is close by with a couple of cafe's and a shop. We missed lunch on our journey and had a very good meal in the bar of the hotel after we had checked in. The hotel is also conveniently located if you want to journey on to Connemara.

Nothing to criticise. Just note perhaps that you have to pay to park in the hotel car park. The charge is significantly discounted but you need to have paid at reception before you can leave the car park.

Good location with easy public transport connection to the city center. Reception staff on arrival were super friendly, welcoming us and remembering us upon further inquiry later in the evening.

The gym equipment (and gym staff) are a bit run-down. Breakfast is way too busy, the staff are trying their best but the buffet capacity doesn’t match the amount of tables nor the appetite of guests as plates and food items are regularly running out. The room and bathroom are big but could use a refurb, as could the lobby - actually the entire hotel could use a little 2025.

The property was very nice. We had dinner in the bar and it was very good as was breakfast (scones were exceptional). Staff was very pleasant and accommodating. If you bring a car, be sure to have the desk validate rather than using the machine in the lobby (5 euro vs 15---that is a beer and a half!). The location was great...right on the promenade and also a little park across the street to explore. There was an amusement park very close would be great for kids.

Wifi was a little slow but tolerable. Check-in seemed a bit confused but it could be due to the tour bus that arrived right before us.
