Westwinds Guestlodge

Lovely comfortable guest house on seafront, short walk to restaurants and shops in Salthill, à little further to Galway. Friendly host and fab breakfast.

Nothing

It would be perfectly fine if we didn’t pay €300 for a night.

It was so expensive. It is a simple b&b without anything but the bed. Charging €300 for a night was just too much.

Super location. Friendly and helpful proprietor. The only issue I had was with my bed (double). The mattress was very hard. My cousins, single, was perfect.

Malheureusement rien

We were very disappointed with our stay, the price is that of a 4-star hotel. The room was acceptable, but the double bed was only 140 cm wide, which is quite surprising for a « hotel »of this category. The bathroom was outdated and clearly in need of renovation. Breakfast was very basic, with a limited buffet selection, no pastries and only filter coffee available – not even an espresso machine, which is generally expected in a hotel. Check-in apparently closes at 6:00 pm. We arrived at 7:30 pm and this was considered a "late check-in". Our room key had simply been hidden behind a cushion, which felt rather unprofessional. Overall, the accommodation itself was acceptable, but the level of service and facilities did not justify the high price. Unfortunately, we left feeling that we had paid 4-star rates for what was essentially a regular B&B experience. We asked for a quiet room when making our reservation. Unfortunately, this request was not taken into account. We noticed that at least two quieter rooms on the upper floor were unoccupied, making it even more disappointing that no effort was made to accommodate our request. Our disappointment was not so much with the room itself, but with the clear mismatch between the price charged and the level of service provided.
