      "A nice stay for business or pleasure" Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 20, 2013

      Stayed 4 nights for business. Didn't get out because of weather. The resturant was excellent. The service was also very good. In all I recommend and would stay again.

      "Superb B&B" Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 1, 2013

      Our stay at St. Judes Lodge could not have been more perfect. The facility is lovely with a great view of Lake Atalia. The proprietors Shawn and John went out of their way to make us feel welcome and to accomodate us. Our room was very spacious (and there were even chocolates on the pillows). Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. We were located in walking distance of everything we wanted to see in Galway. We went to the greyhound races, as the track was just across the street. I would recommend St Judes to anyone staying in beautiful Galway.

      "Irish Hospitality at it's Finest" Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Nov 10, 2012

      Oranhill Lodge was a delight to stay in. The house was very nice and well maintained; very classy. Michael and Ann were gracious hosts and made us feel very welcome. My friends and I talked with them extensively on the morning of our departure and they truly seemed like old friends. Also, when we arrived they recommended an excellent pub/restaurant close by for dinner and drinks.

      "Great Location - across from water" Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Oct 25, 2012

      B&B was good. Rooms and bathrooms small but adequate - I had small room on 3rd floor which was fine for 1 but would have been very difficult for 2 people. Breakfast was very good. Shower had great water pressure and tons of hot water. My bed was very comfortable. The owner/operator was not Irish so if you are looking for that experience you won't get it here. She was accomodating but not overly friendly. Location was great - across from water, 5 min walk to beginning of Salthill area, 15 - 20 min walk to Galway city center area.

    Very well run family oriented hotel, with wonderful breakfast included. The walk into town is about 2 miles and beautiful, unless it is raining, then the 401 bus is your friend. The river walk in the town is amazing as well.

    We stayed at the hotel for a week and used it as a base for touring the region. We did not have a car and did not need one. We took day tours of Connemara and the Burren/Cliffs of Moher and the tour buses picked up at the hotel. The shuttle bus to the Aran Islands stopped right across the street from the hotel, and there was frequent, reliable bus service […] into the city from the stop in front of the hotel. We took a day trip out to Clifden using the bus into the city and the Citi-link bus out to Clifden. The staff at the hotel were particularly helpful. The hotel setting is very appealing. It is right on Galway Bay, as the name suggests, and the promenade along the bay is a real plus. The views across the bay to the Burren hills are wonderful. The food at the hotel was excellent and the room was very comfortable. The Salthill area is quieter than the city, but it was still very convenient. Read more

    Great location for peace and quiet. Most guests were a bit older than my wife and I (we're in our fifties)...but that was just fine with us. Would definitely recommend for families with younger children and not recommend for families with teenagers or young people looking for a lively pub scene.

    This hotel is not only stunningly gorgeous on the outside, it's surrounded by beauty especially if you luck out with great weather. Be warned, this hotel is a good 45 minute walk to the city center or about a ten to fifteen euro cab ride depending upon your destination point. It's a fantastic walk with scenic views so I loved the walk. An ATM is about […] a fifteen minute walk away. I believe there is a bus stop by the hotel but I did not use the bus. You're across from a beautiful beach for swimming in good weather. My room was very comfortable and quiet. I ate at the bar and also had room service, both meals were very good. The hotel also assisted me in setting up a tour to the Cliffs of Moher and the burren, The tour driver picked up at the hotel so that was very easy. The staff will help you with your tourist needs, it's fantastic. The hotel also offers complimentary wireless. Many hotels will nickle and dime you with hidden fees but I found this hotel did not. The wireless was free. I also had four tshirts cleaned and the cost was around ten euros for all four so that was an excellent price as well. Now, nicer clothes will cost you more, but for my comfy-travel-days-who-cares wear, this was a fantastic deal. Thank you, staff! This hotel really has it all. Great food, VERY friendly people, delicious beverages, an outdoor patio which is divine. A pool that next time I swear I'll use. I am in love with this hotel and WILL come back one day. Read more

    This hotel looks fine on the outside,but...it reeks of old cigarette smoke, bad food, and cheap disinfectants. I was told that the smoke smell was coming from the outside smokers, but even the halls outside the rooms smelled of smoke. The housekeepers used some strong-smelling disinfectants to clean the rooms. The place was gloomy and the rooms decorated […] like college dorm rooms. The hotel also was filled with conventions and the elderly. This was supposed to be a four-star hotel, but seemed to me to only deserve 2 1/2- 3 stars. Read more

    Stayed here previously but now the hotel seems to be losing its sparkle.Generally everything was fine but a couple of things let it down badly.......breakfast (full irish) was somewhat cremated and was definitely in the hot trays for some time.The bar food was generally good with a good menu but my main course of sea bass was somewhat miniscule (i've […] seen more fish in a tin of sardines !!) however other courses seemed to be fine.May have been short of fish or just an offday. Our room was spotless,clean and warm and the staff were helpful and did their job well. Read more

    A lovely hotel with very friendly and accommodating staff. My only complaint would be that the hotel generally - especially the main lounge was always cold.

    The shower in our room was not working properly, however when we told reception on departure they couldn't have been more accommodating. The manager met us and expressed his sincere apologies and gave us a percentage refund which we were happy about. The shower problem in my own opinion as a builder was that the shower was broke a long time but no one […] managed to tell reception about it. They were genuinely surprised by this. It's just typical of Irish people to walk away and say nothing. How can a hotel improve if they don't get immediate feed back? We would have absolutely no hesitation in staying in the Galway bay hotel again. It was a small problem which was not their fault. Top class professionals and very friendly staff. Read more

    We enjoyed our stay and would come again. The location is excellent for access to the beach and the lovely Salthill area and is a 10 minute drive to Galway city centre. Our room was small and basic but perfectly comfortable and had a view of the bay. The pool is excellent if a bit shallow for my liking. Some minor complaints: there was no wifi in our […] room despite signs around the place that said there was, the breakfast was good by hotel standards but the hot food is all super greasy and kept warm under lights rather than cooked to order and the shower head in our room was very poor. For the price I'd hope to not have such complaints but it wouldn't put me off the hotel, as I've yet to stay anywhere that has gotten everything right. Read more
