Galway Bay Hotel - A fantastic staff and stay!
We had such a lovely stay at Galway Bay Hotel. We arrived early and the staff stored our luggage for us while we explored the town. The staff was wonderful and made us feel so welcome. The rooms were spacious and the beds were so comfortable. The breakfasts, which were included, were amazing as was our dinner at Bay Brasserie. The staff was top notch and very attentive. One tip - reserve your meal times!
We took the Aran Island Ferry out of Galway City, a short 10 minute taxi ride from the hotel, which was super convenient.
The hotel is across the street from the bay and many people were taking a dip, even in early April waters! Next door is a super fun small amusement park with rides for all ages. Take the ferris wheel at sunset for a glorious view!

Hidden gem
I checked on line but unfortunately I had to wait about 15mins approx as a group were ahead. The receptionist was very apologetic
She was very pleasant however I think she could have done with help as there was another waiting behind me.
I had no fault after that.
I will come back again.

Amazing location. The hotel is a little dated but it was still comfortable. And the location and views are worth any negatives.
