Ballyvaughan Hotel Guide - Beach Hotels in Ballyvaughan, County Clare

"We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. We had a 5th floor executive room with a balcony which wasn’t cheap but was very spacious with a sitting area and balcony with a view. The bed was large and comfortable. We had breakfast in the room twice which arrived on time and as ordered for a delivery charge of €12.50. The third day we went down for the breakfast buffet which provided a good choice and although ending at 10.30 am people were still arriving about that time and getting seated. The hotel is fairly modern and was in good condition. There is a nice bar area and all the staff were very pleasant and helpful. We didn’t use the Spa facilities and so can’t comment on that. The hotel is an ideal location for walking into town Eyre Square and Qyay Street are only about 10-15 minutes walk where there are numerous pubs and restaurants to choose from. It was also only about 10-15 minutes subject to traffic to get to the races in a taxi. We hired a car and were charged €40 for 3 nights parking which sadly seems to be the norm these days! The only issue we had was our toilet getting running on the second day and then wouldn’t flush but maintenance sorted it out after a couple of requests. Overall though a very pleasant stay and if returning to Galway and the Races which we would as the place is buzzing I would definitely stay at the Galmont again."

"The staff were very friendly particularly the bar man Teo."

"Perfect experience, wish we could stay another night here. "

"The menu was varied, the food was delicious and reasonably priced. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, however the wifi service was very poor."

"Staff was friendly and helpful, accommodating early checkout with breakfast to-go. "

"The hosts were amazing. We were able to check in a little early. The gentleman knows so much about the area and directed us to some things not on our list. The room is huge and only place we’ve stayed that had a bathtub. Our window had a castle outside of it with beautiful green pastures around.The little town had a great pub and pier. One of our favorite places we stayed on this trip"

"Right next to the train station and car park. Easy walking to a variety of dining and shopping options. Quiet rooms and easy breakfast at the adjoining pub. "

"Breakfast was very good, and plenty of staff and well organised. Nice bar and dining area, only gripe is the floors creak a bit and could hear noise from other rooms. But apart from that it's very good and reasonablely priced."

"The hotel staff were great and the rooms were nicely decorated however our bathroom had a really damp smell that was annoying. Otherwise such a great location and super convenient to the action!"
