Stayed here for one night for the Connemara marathon. Had to leave early so didn't get to sample breakfast. Hotel is a little old-fashioned but the room had everything needed. Location is very good as only a short walk into town or to Salthill.

This hotel is above a pub in Lower Salthill. Its pretty basic and small but room was clean, central and very reasonable - €45 for a single room. I was at the Spanish Arch after only 10mins walking so great location. Missed breakfast so can't comment. Not for people who hit to bed early but can't fault the place.

The location is in a quiet residential area with only about a 5 minute walk to the beach and 5-10 minute walk to the city centre. The room was small but comfortable and very clean. The bed was actually comfortable, unlike most of the concrete slab type mattresses you find in Irish lodgings. They also had top (flat) sheets on... More

At 35 euro a night you're not expecting luxury and high end facilities. Wards is solid, comfortable accommodation. The rooms are clean and basic. The common areas look quite tired and dated but are by no means offensive. Parking is quite limited and I ended up parking on the street. There was no problem with it but I'd have preferred... More

Stayed here on a week night and got it for €35. Really good value but if you stay in Room 10 your over the smoking area of the outside bar. Can get noisy. Good breakfast and nice people run it so I'd stay again.

€65 per room per night. 15 mins walk to city. It's more like a b&b, not a hotel! Double room very small, but clean. Our room was on the top floor, nearly like in the attic, no lift. It's nothing fancy, but for €65 per night it's not bad. Staff were very friendly. Location was good.

We decided to ignore the bad reviews on here and booked to stay at Wards as we couldn't find anywhere cheaper and so close to all the action in Salthill. Thank goodness we did! We wanted somewhere reasonably priced, close to Galway bay and to the city centre. We got just that, and a cosy little pub filled with tourists... More
