“Dated”

We stayed in 3 hotels on our Ireland trip - all 4 star. The other 2 were fantastic with flat screen TVs , air con, and tasteful decor. Unfortunately the Galway bay has no air con, big old CRT TVs, the carpets that were probably laid in 1970. The beds are good but the bathroom was showing signs of wear and tear. We arrived at 7.00pm and struggled to park as there was a convention taking place. A full blast disco went on until 3.30am ( i don't think in the hotel) but as there is no aircon we had to open the windows so endured thumping music until the early hours. It is a 25 minute walk into the city centre so if you're coming to visit the centre stay somewhere else. As with all Irish hotels the staff are very friendly and the food although not great was OK. My wife ordered fish of the day for breakfast one morning but it never did arrive - I guess they are still trying to catch it.

Area recommendations
I would stay in or near the city centre as that is where everything happens.
What to pack
Pack Water proofs as it rains all the time.
Dining
The Malt House restaurant is probably the best food in town - with snacks and lunch in the Kings Head next door

“It was nice”

We liked the hotel - we were there on our honeymoon - the hotel was beautiful but my husband said he had read it was a retriement destination. Beautiful views - though not from our room as we faced the amusement park.

“Galway Bay Hôtel : hôtel proche de la mer mais froid et impersonnel”

Hotel qui présente quelques qualités : chambre spacieuse, vue sur la mer (mais moyennant supplément). Ensemble décevant néanmoins : hôtel froid et impersonnel, accueil minimal, chambre sans air conditionné (ou celui ci ne fonctionnant pas), petit déjeuner tout à fait déplorable : fruits au sirop, pain de mauvaise qualité, salle qui ressemble à un hangar, pas de scones (ce qui est quand même une spécialité irlandaise) et très peu de viennoiseries. Le pub inséré à l'intérieur de l'hôtel est une bonne idée mais hôtel que je ne recommanderai pas. Hôtel cher, mauvais rapport qualité prix.

Area recommendations
Le Connemara, le Burren, les iles d'Aran : c'est tout simplement magnifique.
