Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

The location was great. Walking distance to a lot places we wanted to go. Right across the street from the water and the walkways along the water. We really enjoyed our stay there. I highly recommend this place.

Very convenient apartment with terrace, with bus stops and numerous restaurants, cafes, and pubs within easy walking distance and a short drive into city center. Good area and secure, on-site parking. Very clean and well kept. Very prompt response to a request upon arrival. Host/Vrbo provided detailed info up-front, including instructions on driving, arrival, check-instructions, parking, and washer operation. We'd definitely stay here again.
Suggest having coffee pods or instant coffees on-hand.

We were happy with our stay at Galway Bay Apartments. On a scale of 1 – 10, we’d give the overall stay an 8
Pro:
- clean
- good location: just in front of the Salthill promenade. Ocean view. Plenty of pubs and restaurants nearby. Convenient store (SPAR) just steps away. For a larger selection of groceries, there's a supermarket a 15-minute walk away (Tesco).
- The bus stop for line 401 to the town center is right outside the apartment. This bus takes you right into the heart of Eyre Square. From here you can catch the train to Dublin or buses to the Cliffs of Moher or Connemara. Taxis to Galway town center are readily available, costing approximately €15 from the apartment. Alternatively, it's a pleasant 15- 30 minute walk to the town center
- wi-fi, plenty of tv channels
- Great Kitchen set up for preparing meals at home for small groups.
Con:
- The functionality of the hot water was inconsistent at times (management addressed the concerns raised)
- The back room can experience occasional noise late at night from guests passing (earplugs recommended for light sleepers)

My family stayed here for 4 nights while in Galway.
The apartment itself is outdated, run down and in need of some serious TLC.
It was a convenient location that enabled us to make the most out of our time in Galway.
I did not have any interaction with management after the booking process.
The "timer" for the hot water is absurd. 4 people trying to take showers and unable to do so. The "boost" for the hot water heater did not seem to work. I did not call management (we were so busy and rarely in the apartment other than to shower/sleep).
Initially we wanted to utilize the kitchen and cook while in Galway but the kitchen does not have the necessary items (there were 3 glasses in the entire kitchen). I purchased a sheet pan while there just to make breakfast. No biggie.
The laundry closet (and I mean closet) was NOT great.
The dryer does not dry appropriately - and there are rules about having clothes dry on the balcony.
There is no air conditioning. I realize many areas in Ireland do not. The other places I stayed DID.
The view of the bay is fantastic. It was the best part of the stay.
It is a high tourist/traffic area and is noisy. I was prepared for that based on other reviews. Having to sleep with the windows open (due to the temperature and no A/C) makes the noise issue even worse.
It was nice to see the GARDA station (police station) behind the building. Made us feel safer as the area does seem to be sketchy.
Overall enjoyed Galway.

Property was clean and comfortable. The bus stop is right outside, which was very convenient. Within walking distance of lots of shops and restaurants, with the beach just across the road.
