10/10 Excellent
"The restaurant and bar on site were great! The bus stop to get to the Cliffs of Moher was just steps away from the hotel and the city center was a quick 10min taxi drive away."

8/10 Good
"The property was beautiful and very accommodating, however the room and the hallways were so very dark. Also each time we ate in the restaurant, we had to fight over our food with the gnats."

"This hotel is amazing! In a lovely location along the Salthill Promenade, where you can walk into Galway or a short car drive. The rooms were lovely and clean and room service was there every morning. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I would fully recommend this hotel to anyone visiting."

The G Hotel and Spa

The G Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent
"We arrived and our room smelled of smoke (it is a non smoking hotel) reception immediately upgraded us to a junior suite that was incredible. The most comfortable bed, the most luxurious bathroom with double shower and huge stand alone tub with tv on the wall. The room was very spacious and staff were excellent. The breakfast was outstanding, the lounge offered drinks and snacks. The spa was included with our stay and a great place to relax in the hot tub and steam room/sauna. The Latin quarter is only a ten minute taxi ride (do not take Uber it was twice the price!) I highly recommend this property."
