Bitter sweet experience! This is a very bitter sweet review ! So let’s get into it ,
My parents and I decided to stay at the this property for Christmas availing of there 3 day inclusive package , which incorporated Christmas Eve , Christmas Day and St Stephen’s Day (Boxing day) with all meals
We decided a few months before the holiday my parents decided to travel down the day before (23rd December) so they could have dinner with friends .
The 23rd came and my father had fallen ill and was unable to travel so it was decided that I would go and take over there reservation for that evening. When I arrived on the evening of the 23rd from my Mother and she said my father had gotten worse and would not be able to travel for which we had a doctors note .
so at this point it was decided I would stay as there was no point going to them . I informed the hotel immediately in case they could resell the room etc .

Now despite being alone I did meet some lovely people and my family came to see me and I went and saw them .
The food was amazing the staff were exceptional, the facilities were also brilliant.

When I was leaving I was informed that the reservation department would be in touch regarding my parent’s booking .
So on the 29th of December I was phoned by the reservations manager and informed that they would not be offering any compensation for my parent’s booking as it fell outside the T &C’s of the reservation!!

I completely understand this but I did feel very slighted that they would not even offer a voucher or anything! We had lost €1400 !!
This left a bad taste so will not be returning despite being on of my family’s

Delicious Gluten-Free Fish & Chips at The Salthill Hotel in the Blackrock Bar I had an evening meal at The Salthill Hotel on Saturday evening and was really impressed. I ordered the gluten-free fish and chips, which were absolutely beautiful, perfectly cooked, crisp and light batter and wonderfully fresh fish. It was served with a lovely tartare sauce, fresh delicate side salad, chips, mushy peas and all of it combined really lifted the whole dish. Some good options for non-alcoholic wines and beers also.

It’s such a pleasure to find somewhere that takes care with quality gluten-free options and delivers food that’s both tasty and thoughtfully presented. The setting was calm and welcoming, with great service and a relaxed atmosphere, which was exactly what was needed for a leisurely evening meal at the seaside venue after a hard day's work.

A genuinely delicious meal and a place I’ll definitely be returning to. I highly recommend for anyone looking for quality, fresh food in Salthill.

Family holiday The hotel is fab lovely walk into the city or bus just outside the entrance if suits better. The rooms are lovely we were a family that needed 2 rooms and were accommodated with side by side rooms.
The food in the bar was fantastic on each of our nights, tiny bit slow but well worth the wait, breakfast also great with a lovely variety. Well worth a visit

Couple night away My Husband & I stayed B& B on a sat night recently, we were early but we were checked in by a very efficient Lady called Peggy.
She gave us all the relevant info for our stay , including buses to city centre.
She was so friendly and helpful.
Peggy is an asset as a front line staff .
Our room wasn't ready so we went & waited in the bar .
Peggy rang when room ready and our cases had already been brought to room.
The Room was facing the sea, it was a very large room .we had double bed, big bathroom ,smart TV , bottled water.
We didn't have dinner there as was booked for a restaurant .
The breakfast next morning was great , there was plenty of choices .
Hot &cold, Fruit, breads & pastries etc.
There was music at night in bar.
All staff were friendly .
We would definitely return.

Wedding Celebration The Salthill Hotel is first class when it comes to celebrating a wedding. We had a very special day for our daughter's wedding. The Wedding coordinator, management team and all the staff were so nice. They all helped to make the day very happy and memorable. Thank You.

It’s been a few years since I stayed in Salthill. I’ve been to this hotel before but forgot what a gem it is. Beautiful food in the bar restaurant. Friendly and welcoming team all around who make you feel looked after and appreciated. I’ll be booking the next time I’m staying in Galway. Great quality and value.

Lovely hotel but terrible breakfast service This hotel is perfectly located on salthill prom and close to bars and restaurants. Food and drinks in the bar were good. The room was comfortable but a bit small. Breakfast selection was good but service was terrible. Staff looked like they didn’t know what they were meant to do. Getting a pot of tea was a challenge to say the least. Loads of parking and free if booked direct with hotel. All in all a good hotel but staff training has a lot to be desired.

Very good We stayed in the salthill hoteh for 2 nights. We had a beautiful room with sea view. Breakfast was good with lots of choice. We eat in the restaurant on one night which was good. There was a lovely lady in reception who was called Peggy, she was most helpful. Have stayed before and would highly recommend. Bernie

Nice hotel, not vegan friendly. This is a beautiful hotel, lovely staff, gorgeous location and the worst food offerings for vegans in the city. They do have plant milks but no margarine. Unbelievable in this day and age that they couldn't get a tub of flora and stick it in the fridge.

Always a Lovely Stay In my experience, a stay at The Salthill Hotel is always a good one. The location is terrific, just across the road from the beach, with plenty of parking available and a bus stop nearby if you prefer to leave your car behind when visiting Galway city centre. The hotel itself is lovely, the rooms are spacious, some with a sea view, and each member of staff is always friendly and helpful.

More recently, I don't eat in The Prom restaurant or the Blackrock Bar as they don't cater easily for my intolerances, though I have had good experiences in both in the past. However, the breakfast buffet is excellent (though they were out of gluten-free bread last week. Incidentally, their gluten-free bread when it is available contains egg, making it unsuitable for vegans). Each member of the breakfast team is really obliging and try their best to deal with dietary intolerances, which results in a filing breakfast which sets us up for the day. It would be good to have something healthy to sprinkle over porridge, e.g. chia or pumpkin seeds.

I'm already looking forward to my next visit.
