Galway hotellia

Plussat: We had a great stay at the Sea Breeze! They welcomed us with glasses of wine - very nice. The breakfast was the best we had on our trip to Ireland - incredible selection and service. The room exceeded expectations - very well appointed and maintained with plenty of complementary beverages, fresh fruit and other snacks provided for our stay. When we return to Ireland - we will be back! Thanks for all of the wonderful hospitality.

Plussat: Every detail made the stay a pleasure. Our room was spacious and we were given fruits, cheese, snacks in the room. Our bed was comfortable and king sized. Breakfast was assorted fresh fruits, pastries, etc. and then a choice of cooked to order meals. Your host , Fred, is funny , friendly , and there to help you as needed.

Miinukset: Maybe just the location in relation to Galway as a taxi ride is necessary , or it's a lengthy walk.

Plussat: If you are traveling to Ireland I can tell you where the pot of gold is. It is tucked away under the iridescent sunsets that reflect off of the bay in Galway. Not the busy bay, with the ships and bustling people, but just up the coast a bit in Salthill. Find the red door on a little place called the Sea Breeze Lodge B&B and you are almost there. The real riches come in the morning. Everything good usually starts with breakfast, and in Ireland that certainly rings true. From the the fresh full Irish breakfast to the delectable French toast, everything that passes your lips will leave you satisfied, nourished and ready for what ever adventures you have planned. But, before you go, may I suggest that you order the French Toast (and don’t be afraid to try it with the sesame seeds!). The French toast is to die for, but it is the story of how it came to be that is beautiful and soul filling, if you want to know more you will have to wait and ask Fred as he anticipates your reaction to it’s wonderful flavor. And here is also where you find your gold, it lies in the heart of the owner, Fred (or Fredrique, you see, he is French). Fred has a heart of solid gold that desires and excels at serving and connecting. Not only do you get Fred as your host, you also get Michelle. She grew up a few kilometers from beaches of Galway. She is Fred’s better half (and you already know how great he is!) Michelle is warm and fun to talk to because she is 110% Irish! And then there is Anita. Your breakfast would be cold, beds unmade and shampoo empty without Anita. The home is immaculate because of Anita’s tireless work. But Anita is not just the one who cleans and helps cook. She is also incredibly gracious and sweet. So there it is, the pot of gold, at least for us. The combination of the Emerald Isle, Fred, Michelle and Anita, and thier beautiful home on the bay In Galway can’t be beat. We will call their home, Sea Breeze Lodge B&B, our home whenever we visit!

Miinukset: There wasn't a thing we didn't love! Except for Dublin, hated Dublin, dirty, overcrowded, depressing. But that has nothing to do with Sea Breeze Lodge and Galway which were both amazing and beautiful!

Plussat: Great location, easy access to downtown Galway. Breakfast was great with different options. Michelle and Fred are so helpful!

Plussat: Wonderful breakfast, beautiful decor, great touches in the bedrooms (fresh fruit, surround sound, lovely bedding, bath salts etc). Free parking. Our host was very attentive and clearly committed to the very best quality in all that he provides.

Miinukset: Very strict arrival time of 4 pm - not possible to get in even 5 minutes earlier. On the other hand, the host was very clear about this from the outset, so can't be criticized for his clear communications on this score.

Plussat: Location Value

Miinukset: Only 2 on when we stayed young man very helpful but a bit inexperienced Unfortunately woman

Plussat: Aamiainen oli todella hyvä. Sisustus oli hieno ja omaperäinen. Henkilökunta oli ystävällistä ja avuliasta.

Miinukset: Huoneen yhteydessä ei ollut wc- ja suihkutiloja, vaan wc ja suihku oli erikseen.

Plussat: Kiva sisustus ja ystävällinen henkilökunta.

Miinukset: Wc epäsiisti ja suihkukaappi rikki.

Plussat: The breakfast was amazing a beautiful selection of fresh pastries or toast including home made jam & marmalade, fresh coffee or tea, fruit & cereal. I was very impressed.

Miinukset: I have no suggestions as everything was wonderful.

Plussat: Breakfast and fireplace

Plussat: The room was really nice and clean, there's free parking and Mark from the reception was exceptional! If you don't have a car, you can walk into the city centre. It's about 15min away but there's also a bus stop just outside the hostel.

Plussat: Excellent location. Very friendly staff. The comfiest bed ive slept in. Great value for money

Miinukset: Would have liked tea and coffee faculties in thr room

Plussat: It is a spotless, super cosy, welcoming, modern, trendy hostel with excellent facilities & very helpful, approachable staff. Best breakfast ever!!!!! I decided to stayed another night and would stay longer if I didn't have to head home tomorrow. Stay here - u will not regret it!!;-)

Plussat: The room was very cozy and stylish. It was great that breakfast was included.

Miinukset: Breakfast ends too early! I don't think I have anything else negative to say.

Plussat: The facilities at the hotel were good and offered comfort and cleanliness.

Miinukset: The food and beverage staff in the cellar bar/restaurant and the Palmer bar lacked training and product knowledge. I would question the 5 star rating given a lack of attention to detail.

Plussat: True 5 star service. Dinner in Pullman and breakfast in hotel was outstanding. Very clean.

Miinukset: Walled garden needs some development - just grass and muck. Hotel was very quite and lacking atmosphere for some reason.

Plussat: Luxury, comfort, friendliness, beauty. Just a couple words that come to mind about this majestic place. Best place we stayed during our entire Ireland tour and HIGHLY recommend it to everyone.

Plussat: Building works at the hotel meant noise at 7.30 am which was not condusive to a lie in

Miinukset: Absolutely gorgeous hotel

Plussat: Great breakfast, nice hosts, spectacular house.

Miinukset: Very nice.

Plussat: Friendly owners and cleanliness

Miinukset: Rooms are very small

Plussat: Exceptional in every way, the breakfast would not shame a 5 star hotel, in fact probably the best we can remember in years of travelling.

Plussat: Just about everything! The room was spotless, with lots of storage and a brilliant shower. Breakfast was tasty with lots of choices and the hosts were very friendly without being overbearing. The location was ideal - a short drive to the wedding I was going to and a short bus trip to town - and the direct bus to the rugby ground was a bonus!

Miinukset: I would have loved to have a kettle in the room as it was a bit of a pain having to traipse up and down whenever I wanted a hot drink (or hot water bottle!!) but that's a very minor complaint, considering the excellently stocked tea station in the dining room - and probably says more about my laziness than anything!!

Plussat: Henkilökunta oli mukava ja sijainti superhyvä.

Miinukset: Huone oli hyvin pieni kuudelle ihmiselle. Vessassa ei ollut käsien pesuallasta, vaan se oli huoneessa. Sänkyjen yhteydessä olevat lamput eivät toimineet yhtenä päivänä eikä myöskään huoneen pistorasiat. Huoneessa oli myös todella huono ilmanvaihto.

Plussat: What a brilliant hostel. Everything was good. The staff couldn't do more for you when checking in and explained everything I possibly needed to know about Galway. The rooms are perfect, especially the fact that the bunk beds have curtains which seems to make sleeping much easier than in other hostels. There are lots of staff walking around tidying up and generally caring about the state of the hostel so everything looks pristine all the time, not just after a set cleaning time. Great filling breakfasts in the morning, any hostel offering soya milk, almond milk or homemade brown bread go way above and beyond the typical hostel. Complementary tea and coffee on tap all day is another bonus. Location is so close to the train station which is handy when carrying luggage. Guitar and piano in the corner of the common room. A nightly pub crawl which is a great way to meet fellow travellers. Plus the location is right next to Eyre Square and all the pubs of the city, you have no need for a taxi when going out or when coming back again afterwards. So many good things about this place.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Location was the best, but the staff also is great, friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: Showers, you need to reubicate showers to a better location and if they are staying in bedrooms yo shall put proper forniture.

Plussat: Well located with a comfortable common area. Tea, coffee and fruits for free. Great breakfast.

Miinukset: The room was so tiny. No space literally.

Plussat: Location, breakfast, staff all excellent. A definite asset to Galway as a tourist destination. These people certainly know about Irish Tourism. What else can I say, except "try it to appreciate it"

Plussat: It's a clean hostel that really gives value for your money. The hostel organizes often pub crawls so you get to meet a lot of new people from different places. The kitchen is clean and well equipped so you can cook your own food if you want too and there's lots of tables to eat at. The common room behind the reception is a great hangout spot both before and after a night out.

Plussat: Everything's amazing! Staff so helpful! Beautiful atmosphere and deco, room very clean and comfortable, great breakfast

Plussat: Great, kind and very helpful staffs

Miinukset: The storage under the bed will make sounds...

Plussat: Well all I can say is that I would stay there again.

Plussat: Fantastic location. Terrific common room. Awesome breakfast.

Plussat: It was extremely clean and the location was brilliant.

Miinukset: I couldn’t say anything bad about Galway City Hostel! It was lovely

Miinukset: Shared shower and toilet, but they work well the way they planned

Plussat: The hostel was super clean, the staff very kind, the position of the hostel is strategic! What i liked more? The price was so cheap..

Plussat: Food was nice Reception staff where lovely and helpful

Plussat: Comfortable rooms, convenient location, wonderful hospitality, and delicious breakfast.

Plussat: Great location, comfortable rooms and lovely staff!

Plussat: Hiljainen, rauhallinen alue, kävelymatka keskustaan.

Miinukset: Kallis (ilmeisesti korotetut hinnat laukkaviikonlopun takia), B&B jossa aamupala maksaa erikseen 8€.

Plussat: Cosy room. Great location. Friendly staff.

Plussat: Big, clean and nice room! All day coffee tea and scones. Free carpark. Nice owners.

Miinukset: For a B&B the price was high.

Plussat: We got upgraded from a triple room to a 5-pax room. The lodge is at a good location, just slightly off the shopping area, free parking on-site. Owners were friendly and welcoming but not intrusive. Overall a great stay and would come back again~

Miinukset: Toilet was very small and a little bit hard to move around.

Plussat: Great location near Eyre Square, hosts were very friendly and helpful, good free parking, clean room. We skipped breakfast and can’t say how it was, but based on the rest of the experience I’d bet it was terrific also! Thanks for a great Galway experience!

Miinukset: Can’t think of a thing

Plussat: Very close the central Galway. Walking distance. Hosts very friendly.

Miinukset: We booked over New Years and the rate rate was 3 times higher. Rooms small and shower tiny. However very neat and has everything you need.

Plussat: The restaurant and food was excellent.

Miinukset: Beds a little too hard

Plussat: Everything exceptional. Great stay. Definitely go back again.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Everything was superb

Plussat: The staff goes out of their way to make your stay perfect.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Staff were very courteous and efficient. Location is excellent.

Plussat: Lovely relaxing break

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: First, after some confusion (our problem) finding the car park, the staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating. The hotel itself was a wonderful surprise, a bit old world luxury, with lots of dark woods, polished brass, and oriental carpets. Room had all you would expect and more. Great breakfast as well.

Plussat: Large comfortable room. Helpful staff and great location.

Plussat: boutique hotel in ths best part of galway. if it’s too noisy they give you earplugs which is great the staff were super friendly too

Miinukset: nothing... it was sensational

Plussat: Perfect location to everything

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Liked the location and the room was beautiful.

Miinukset: Music from downstairs went on until 2:00am on our last night.

Miinukset: The hotel is located on a nightclub. Zero sound proofing. Music stopped at 2:30am. Would not recommend!

Plussat: Tasteful Decor, great bar - live music. Magic location, very friendly and accommodating staff, manageress really helpful.

Plussat: Sijainti oli loistava, lähellä kaikkea. Keittiössä oli hyvin välineitä isompienkin ruokien tekoon ja jääkaapissa sai säilyttää omia ruokia. Rauhallinen hostelli.

Miinukset: Sänky oli hieman epämukava ja selkä tuli kipeäksi.

Plussat: Sijainti oli erinomainen, linja-autoasemaa vastapäätä, lähellä kävelykatua. Huone ja kylpyhuone olivat siistit ja peruskorjatut.

Miinukset: Huoneiden äänieristys heikko. Pihalta, ja käytäviltä kantautui meteli ja naapurihuoneista kuului keskustelu. Asia oli etukäteen tiedossa, ja onneksi yöllä hotellissa oli hiljaista.

Plussat: Sijainti erinomainen lähellä sekä rautatie- että bussiasemia

Miinukset: Suihkukaapin lattia hengenvaarallisen liukas!

Plussat: Location and staff

Miinukset: Very noisy, could hear every time someone entered or left their room. Room was dirty, on the frame of my bed there was so much dust and still hair from the previous guest, disgusting. Mattress was so uncomfortable, woke up with a huge back pain also in our room there was a constant noise, CONSTANT.

Plussat: Everything in the room was great, could have done with better pillows.

Miinukset: The elevator didn't work. The room wasn't very sound proof.

Plussat: It was directly in the middle of Galway City, you couldn’t ask for something more central. The whole place was spotless, the room was comfortable and the shared kitchen and lounge was a huge benefit to us during our stay. You’d expect a kitchen shared by dozens of people to be messy, but it was never anything less than sparkling clean.

Miinukset: The WiFi didn’t work the entire time we were there, so we had to rely on our phones for data. It was a bit inconvenient, but would definitely be a bigger issue if someone needed internet access for work or anything heavier than watching some netflix and checking messages as we needed to.

Plussat: Sijainti erinomainen aivan linja-autoaseman ja juna-aseman vieressä.

Miinukset: Huoneessa oli liian vähän säilytystilaa vaatteille, vain kaksi henkaria eikä lainkaan hyllyjä. Viivyimme 6 yötä, joten vaatetta oli jonkun verran mukana. Lattia oli roskainen eikä sitä pyyhitty oleskelumme aikana kuin kerran. Sänky oli melko kapea kahdelle ja siinä oli vain yksi peitto yhteiseksi, joten huone soveltuu pariskunnalle, mutta ei kaveruksille.

Plussat: Todella tasokas paikka. Ekan huoneen kanssa ongelmia, jotka henkilökunta hoiti hienosti ja tehokkaasti.

Plussat: Feels more like a hotel than a hostel excellent place will definitely be back. So clean and it is very good that you have a bag holding room for after you check out so you can walk around the city without bags

Plussat: The staff were excellent, so friendly and accommodating. The whole hostel was spotless and the bedrooms in particular. For the price we were so impressed with bunk boutique as it’s everything you could need for a short stay in Galway city. Located just off Eyre square and within walking distance of nearly everything. We loved our stay here and will definitely be back.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Staff was amazing

Plussat: Hyvä sijainti, hyvä palvelu ja hinta laatu ok.

Miinukset: Hajusteet käytävillä oli turhan voimakkaita.

Plussat: Superb. Fab swimming pool ,sauna ,jacuzzi ,and very effective steam room .

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very spacious family room, excellent dinner and staff.

Miinukset: Very disappointed that the kids' club wasn't running, were given two different stories 1) not run on weekends (website says it's run all summer bar race week) 2) that they didn't have the minimum number of 4 kids. There was a general lack of facilities for kids so wouldn't recommend for a family stay but it suited our needs for a stop off.

Plussat: great staff breakfast and gym facilities

Miinukset: can't say anything negative
