Salthill Kid friendly Holidays

We had a very nice room overlooking the garden. The staff was wonderful, and very helpful. We enjoyed dining at the Bistro for lunch as well.

Stayed here for 3 nights in early July with our kids. It's fine. They're self-catering units with no management on-site which wasn't super clear and was a little frustrating. We wanted an extra blanket/duvet, and this was apparently a request that they didn't usually provide. We didn't get enough bath towels or toilet roll, and couldn't get any in spite of submitting a request through their "just let us know if you need anything! :)" email. The unit had one kitchen sponge, one dish towel, and no other items to clean or wash with. (A paper towel roll would have been great.) No laundry detergent. No dressers or open shelves in the bedrooms. No fans to help with heat. Nowhere to hang any wet items or to string up our travel clothesline. The parking is very tight. The building is old: not quiet, a bit run down, some mildew (to be expected given the location.) The units are a nice size overall; would easily fit a folding crib. The balconies are definitely not child-safe and there are signs indicating this. Location is great; easy walk to Centra (which has a serviceable grocery selection and off license), restaurants, the aquarium. Lovely view of the promenade and Galway Bay. Galway city centre is walkable in theory, but not with young kids. If I returned to Galway area, I would choose a nicer property.
