Located in Salthill, Galway, about 15 mins walk to city centre (1.5 km), about 10 mins walk to Salthill Promenade in Galway Bay. We booked in for a New Year's Eve 2011 weekend (two nights). I would classified the Ward's Hotel rather as a B & B than a hotel. It needs a bit of updating for a status of... More

This hotel,if you could call it a hotel has to be the worse hotel i ever stayed in.First impression when we went in was the stale horrible odour.The decor in the room was so dated it has to be seen to be believed.Scratched old fashioned furniture with the dirtiest carpet in the bedroom.A television on the wall with wires hanging...

Decided to book this place for a night as I was meeting some friends for a drink in the bar downstairs. Pictures on their web page looked nice and it seemed great value at €70 for a double including breakfast. Our bedroom was small but the en-suite/shower was tiny. Most of the other bedrooms were not in use. The doors... More

Rooms aren't as they look in the pictures. Our room was tiny and the ensuite was so small it could barely fit the shower and toilet. The sink was in the room at the bottom of the bed.

The music on Wednesday night was absolutely great, and the bar was... More

The guy working at the reception was also the bartender at the pub so we had to wait for 20 minutes for him while he served the drinks. The hotel is old and smells terrible and the pub... More

There can't be a better value hotel in Galway than this. Got it at half the price of a travellodge or jury's inn and it's much better. Room was clean and bed was comfy. Breakfast was not the best but was pretty good. Pub downstairs is really lively and has a good mix of locals and tourists. Will defo be... More

Ignore the reviews above...you get what you pay for. This is a great value hotel. We got excellent service all weekend. We had a free limo in and out of city centre when we wanted. All the staff where first class, the rooms were basic but clean and comfortable! More
