Would stay again very charming
Excellent and clean with minimal noise despite the construction. The tub was a little deep compared to the bathroom floor but otherwise it was all amazing. The communal areas were clean and the staff was very helpful in calling cabs and assisting the Uber eats guy with finding me lol. There is a bus stop right down the street that will take you into town.

Everything was perfect. Clean, quiet, friendly staff. We even got our laundry done. It was €15, but really fast and one less thing for us to worry about.

Nice establishment and friendly service
Our host Donald was very friendly and helpful. Room is a bit on the small side. I left my pair of newly purchased pants with them. Contacted them and confirmed It was found but I cannot get back to collect it since it’s a driving trip.

Staff were great and allowed us to drop off our luggage early so it was not in the car all day. Comfortable beds. Only disappointment was breakfast was not provided. Restaurants are within 10 minutes of walking.

quiet location
The Amber Heights guesthouse staff was very helpful and friendly. The room was clean and well equipped, as were the dining area and tv/lounge room. The room was quiet. We were in walking distance from the beach and a grocery store. We also walked into town, although some may find it too far and might want a taxi. A slight negative was that the bathroom fan could have been stronger to deal with the amount of moisture after taking a shower.

Disliked: Room comfort
Rooms are clean however they are not sound proofed. My room was on the main floor right next to the main entrance. It was disturbing especially when people would be going in and out of the facility. If you prefer to be in a quieter area, do not stay on the main floor. The rate for Saturday night was expensive, in my opinion, for an average B & B.

Great cozy clean rooms, a little far from city cen
Really enjoyed the stay. The house and rooms were definitely cozy and comfortable. Enjoyed my privacy. The only drawback would be the location. It's a pretty good walk to the city center or Salthill area. Overall I would def stay there again.

Nice hotel
tricky to find when driving as it is offset off the street. Parking is good. En suite bath rooms. Walking distance to the Bay of Galway and dining. Wi Fi is average. Overall good value for the money Note that the traffic in evening and morning is really bad.

Good Accommodation, Breakfast not included
I stayed at this hotel for 1night to visit a relative in the hospital. The walk was easy and about 25minutes. Staff were friendly and room was clean and comfortable. Amber Heights is marketed as a B&B, however my room rate did not include Breakfast, which would have been an additional 10EUR, which i thought was quite expensive. Overall i would recommend Amber Heights, the property and service were very good.

Good for an easy stop over. The room was small and up 3 flights of stairs - good thing we didn't need to take in our big suitcases. WiFi not very strong.

Nice place near to downtown Galway.
This was a very nice relatively new townhouse. We were impressed with the lobby, dining area and our room. It took a while to reach because we hit Galway at rush hour, which was not fun. The only slight inconvenience was that our floorboards squeaked a bit - sorry to the neighbors below us.

Good Stay
The Amber Heights Guesthouse is clean, comfortable and a good value. Breakfast is better than average. The location requires a car or taxi but not too far from Salt Hill which is a nice area of Galway on the sea.

A serviceable place to stay
We enjoyed it very much. Room was small, but that was to be expected. The TV was kind of funny (a 13" TV attached to the wall) but never turned it on anyway. We did not do breakfast. The full Irish breakfast was not a big draw for us throughout the vacation. For the money, it was admirable. Quiet and clean.

Nice lodging, not as nice as most B&Bs
Our stay at this location was okay - no real issues, but no real standout, either. Room was smaller than most, though adequate. We didn't have the breakfast, as there was an additional charge for it, while other places (we had stayed in) in the same price range included a really nice breakfast. Parking was a bit tight, but that's not uncommon, especially when in a bigger city. Though it was located fairly close to a major roundabout, I didn't notice any road noise from our room and the bed was comfortable. If I stay in Galway again, I'd consider here, but more likely try to find a B&B, with the service and breakfast that typically accompanies one.

Good B&B, no air conditioning in our room
Overall good stay. Our room did not have air conditioning (can't say about the other rooms). Breakfast was very nice. Location of the B&B is about a half hour walk to the town center. 10-ish euro cab ride.
