Love that the hotel is just across the Salthill Promenade, great for having a walk by the sea. A little away from the centre as well means that it's not too crowded and much quiet.

Kathleen Ireland

Staff, service, facilities, cleanliness, breakfast, felt at home

Maria Ireland

Food was lovely . Bedroom with sea view was great , tea /coffee /water provided and the bed was very comfy

Breda Ireland

View of the bay was magnificent and staff were excellent. The swimming pool is awesome, 25m with other excellent fitness facilities. Parking was convenient and plentiful. Best hotel we stayed in on our short tour of Ireland.

Geoffrey United Kingdom

The rooms had ample space in them and were very comfortable. The breakfast bar catered to everyone having both Continental and cooked breakfasts. We also enjoyed dinner in the dining room one night and in the bar the following night. Both of these were top quality with excellent staff serving them. We also liked having underground parking for residents. Being close to the Promenade made this an appealing location.

Kathleen Ireland
