Lovely carvery

Comfortable rooms and great sevice Really enjoyed our group stay. Lovely rooms and great service on check in and check out. Peggy was so helpful and efficient. Tommy was very welcoming at breakfast. Bar staff were stretched and struggled to keep a full bar served.

Great Galway Bay location Perfectly located, this beauty of a hotel offers anything you could ask for. You definitely get the value for the spend. Easily walkable for restaurants, sites and pubs. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Rooms are more than comfortable with great views of the Bay. The bathroom is phenomenal, and the shower has great water pressure. This was my second stay there, and I will definitely return!

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

Wedding at Salthill Hotel! My daughter got married in Salthill Hotel Sept 2025. It was a destination wedding as we live in the US. The wedding was 265 people most of which traveled from the US. I cannot say enough about this hotel. (We stayed for a full week.) In fact I find it hard to write this review as there are so many things I want to say about the amazing experience we had from the beautiful ball room, food, and grounds to the amazing staff. If you are considering this hotel for your wedding do not look any further. You honestly would be hard pressed to find better.

A special thanks to Valerie who is the wedding manager. She is kind, smart, thoughtful, and thinks of every detail. She guided us before, during, and after the wedding. We honestly could never imagine pulling off a destination wedding of this size without her. Shane and Steven were always on hand during the wedding making sure everything was running smooth. They were full of good humor and always a smile when they greeted us. George the bar manager could not have been more attentive. He met with us before hand and helped us decide on signature drinks etc. He made sure there was plenty of bar staff on to handle such a big and young crowd coming from the states.

The meal served at the wedding was beyond excellent. The choice of menu was extensive and honestly was way beyond our expectations. The venue was stunning on Galway bay and made for gorgeous wedding photos.

I could go on and on but I will leave it with this hotel/wedding venue far exceeding our expectations and we will be forever thankful to the staff for all of their guidance and support. You truly could not find better people to work with.

Friendly staff & great hotel Check in was quick and efficient with Pranav. The hotel facilities were well explained

Room was super cozy and had all the amenities needed, only drawback charging ports only on one side of the bed!

Dinner was great and the food was good at the Blackrock bar, very friendly staff with a special mention to our server - Mary

Breakfast following morning was great too with a wide variety of options and anything not on the buffet can always be requested, never a hassle to them. Friendly, courteous and polite service staff at the restaurant with a special mention to Sarah.

Definitely worth a visit, close to city centre. Stunning views of the Galway bay, highly recommended

Well done team Salthill Hotel Galway!!

Wedding weekend! Staff at the Salthill hotel are wonderful. I could not fault any of them. Shane (senior staff, wedding) looked after us very attentively and nothing was a bother to him. I’ve attended plenty of weddings over the past couple of years but the staff here really stand out. They certainly set the standard and would be one reason for me to choose the Salthill hotel for my own wedding one day!

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.

Great service! Excellent service. Staff were fantastic especially receptionist. Great quality breakfast. Would highly recommend.

Best stay A fabulous stay. Service across the entire hotel was first class. Gym great. Hadnt stayed here for a couple of years and it's really upped its game, in terms of rhe overall condition and atmosphere of the hotel. Staff genuinely seem to enjoy what they do and make sure it's a positive experience for their guests Food and service were brilliant, staff were very accomodating when I asked for an extra night, confirmed within minutes and I didnt have to change room. 401 bus outside the door brings you into the centre in less than 10 minutes ot taxi was about €10. One of my favourite stays in Galway. Thank you and I'm looking forward to my next visit

Family Friendly Hotel Family of four 2 adults and 2 toddler found salthill hotel excellent.Location is perfect its walking distance to all the amenities. But if you have a toddler under 3 bring a buggie. Hotel was very clean and the staff very helpful. We went to the pool and loved the fact there was a baby pool and 2 pools one for swimming and one for general use. We ate in the hotel bar and the food was class the staff was amazing got colouring sets for the kids. Our room was spacious we stayed 8n a family room and it was perfect for the four of us. Overall we had an excellent experience in the salthill hotel we definitely will be back.

Salthill We loved our stay! We would love to visit again! The ocean view was spectacular! The staff friendly and the rooms were very comfortable.

Everything that we could have wished for. We enjoyed a very pleasing stay in this hotel. There is nothing to fault. Our bedroom was spacious, comfortable and well equipped. The staff (certainly those that we encountered) were courteous and attentive. We had our evening meal from the bar food menu and the options were plentiful and delicious. The choices at breakfast were wide ranging and it would have been almost impossible to leave the hotel hungry.

A shout out in particular to the Reception staff.

Great Hotel with great staff & facilities. Great Hotel with great staff & facilities. Very helpful, friendly, staff, clean & comfortable rooms and lovely breakfast.

Comfy bed, warm room, lack of air con. But would stay again. We stayed for the night, on a short visit to Galway. On arrival, the car park seemed full, we eventually realised there was additional parking underground. Walked into the entrance foyer which we found to be bright, and welcoming. Check in was a breeze, and the reception staff where friendly, there was only one to start but as a que started forming more staff appeared to ensure people where checked in swiftly. Found the room to look a tad dated, but that a personal preference, however the room was clean, tidy and fairly well presented. There is some signs of age with the room. The down sides to the room. The lack of air con, which I suspect my have been down to the room grade, however fans where provided. There where a few signs of age: Wallpaper peeling behind the radiator. Black spots above the laps, probably caused from old incandescent bulbs, (LEDs are now fitted) Chips in the paintwork on the ceiling. There was a distinct lack of plug sockets in the room with there only being a double socket behind the TV, which did have both USB & USB c sockets, and a single socket in a corner near the ceiling. There was an extension lead installed behind the dressing table. Amenities provided: Hair dryer Iron & ironing board Empty Mini fridge Tea & coffee making facilities. Shower gel & shampoo Shower cap Grooming kit, with cotton wool buds, cotton pads and a nail file. Breakfast was lovely, hot food, for a full Irish, pastries, cereal, and even a selection of items off a menu. Over all the staff where polite and friendly. Unfortunately we did not get to use the pool, spa or gym facilities this time. Recommendations for the hotel: 1) install more plug sockets near the TV/ dressing table and near the bed. 2) Ditch the 13 amp extension lead. You provide 3 x 13 amp appliances and only an extension lead to plug into, if someone uses all three at once it could cause a the lead to over heat and start a fire. (Chances of someone using all three at once is slim, but why risk it?) 3) Leadership team should conduct room quality inspections to check for signs of wear and age. Doesn't have to be after every check out but periodically checking to ensure your rooms maintain a satisfactory level of appearance. 4) Better signage for the underground parking. All in all I would stay again, maybe just book a better room next time, for the air con 😅

Birthday Surprise We arrived Friday 9th and was checked in by Eileen who upgraded us to sea views rooms as we were there to celebrate my husband’s 70th birthday. We booked into the Prom restaurant for our evening meal and the food was exceptional and delicious. We had also booked the Prom for his birthday party the following evening and again the food was excellent. The staff was so helpful and couldn’t do enough for us there was 25 in the group we spent the rest of the evening in the bar. There was a good choice of breakfast on both mornings and nothing was too much trouble they also had a gluten free choice as well the rooms were clean warm and comfortable,I can honestly say that we will be back in the summer.
