It exceeded expectations. Staff was incredibly nice and helpful, and went overboard to make you feel confortable. Room, bathroom and common areas were great and spotless clean. You could borrow towels, hair dryer, band-aids, etc., which was really convenient. Breakfast was amazing, and I would also recommend singing up for the common dinner and pub crawl, I had a blast!

Great location, in a quiet area yet only about five minutes away from the center of Galway. Wonderful family-run establishment, Ciara is a great and super friendly hostess. The breakfast is freshly prepared for each table and their protein balls are amazingly delicious.

Excellent location, slightly away from all the hussle and bustle. Room small but perfectly formed! Staff very, very friendly and welcoming, knowledgeable about the area, made great recommendations for restaurants, bars, etc.. Wide range of healthy option breakfast choices. Really appreciated the larder area with drinks and sweet snacks, always available. Would highly recommend.

The staff at Feeney's is incredibly accommodating and we enjoyed every second of our stay. There is no breakfast provided, but the location in Salthill is optimal for a 3-minute walk to a local cafe or pub. We requested an earlier check-in and the staff did their best to meet our request, and they were overall kind and welcoming. I strongly recommend Feeney's to any traveller who wants to spend a great weekend in Galway!

The location is super- right on the beach front. walking distance from Galway city. The room had double aspect views overlooking the beach. With our package we had wine and chocolates each day and bottled water. A lovely touch. Loved breakfast too.
