Galway has something for everyone. Galway City has shopping, restaurants, pubs, churches, museums and good transportation. Salthill is a little more laid back, but the Promenade along Galway Bay is wonderful. It also has good restaurants.

Brand spanking new apartment. Checkin process is fully automated and with clear instructions. Interior layout is spacious and functional. Basic amenities and supplies are provided. Beds are clean and comfortable. Bathrooms are well maintained. Great view of the ocean. Proximity to the stores. 25 minutes pleasant walk to the Latin square. We were three adults and everyone enjoyed our stay. Will definitely stay here again next time we visit Galway

Galway is a very historic town/area with a couple of universities. We found that the downtown area was visually charming however we were saddened by the increasing commercialism that has crept into it over the years. Too many of the shops now offer Chinese made “Irish” souvenirs rather than authentic Irish crafts (unlike what we found in the smaller little villages we passed through on the west coast of Ireland (those were our favorites). Also we found the pub named Monroes to be a very special place with great food and happy staff. As a matter of fact our experience was that the pubs in Ireland usually have the best food compared to the restaurants (there were exceptions).

We personally found the Galway Hop On/Off bus to be dreadful and a waste of money. The Public Buses and Taxis are excellent. Stay in Salthill or a BnB outside close to the city. Take a Public bus to Eyre Square (Central City location, then walk or use a taxi to City sites. Bus t back to your BnB. We stayed at Claremount BnB in Salthill on Galway Bay immediately outside the City Center. Bus stop yards away (402 bus stops ends at Eyre Square, perfect.)

we booked a room at anno santo hotel 15 weeks before our arrival for i1 night 3 days before arrival we recieved a email informing us that renovation work had started in the hotel advice was to stay there or change the date inpossible to find a b&b in the area so we stayed in anno santo hotel we have travelled all over the world and have never had such a horrible experiense as our stay at anno santo hotel it was outdated , dirty ,dusty and smelled terrible at least the bed was clean next morning we went to the dining room on the window was a notice saying no food would be served , not even a cup of tea or coffee i don`t think renovation is the answer more like demolition is the right thing to do

Lively city centre...which was very busy whilst we were there. Untypical hot weather all week made it great for vibrant streetlife,with bars serving outdoors and musicians on every street corner in and around the Latin quarter. Its a student city so a lot of younger age groups out and about socialising and adding to the atmosphere. Plenty of places to eat...and we found the Westend area was a little more relaxed than the city centre. Recommend Il Vicolo - a restaurant and wine bar on O'Brien's Bridge...great food and the staff were very friendly and helpful. (TBH service in bars and restaurants is friendly pretty much everywhere!) Take a walk along the River Corrib for lovely views of the city. Also take in a walk along Claddagh Quay area and around South Park ,then a walk out to Mutton Island along the causeway...good view of the city when you walk back. Ferry trip from the docks to the Aran Islands is well worth doing. Be aware,the city centre is quite small and the high traffic levels can make it feel a bit unpleasant, especially around rush hour.
