“This adults-only inn, a short walk to Salthill's beaches, distinguishes itself with a modern, romantic atmosphere. Its location near Galway's dining and nightlife is a definite advantage, and the inclusion of flat-screen TVs and private bathrooms in every room adds comfort. I think it's a solid base for couples wanting to explore the city and coastline.”
