I've stayed at Arus Grattan (and adjacent Grattan House) some dozen times over the past few years. The accommodations are superb: spacious modern rooms, very comfortable furnishings, great views and excellent service. The location is ideal as well: Galway Bay is across the street, it's a 15 minute walk into Galway city, and the center of Salthill (lively pubs, restaurants,... more

These apartments were ideal for our group of 30+. Sean changed the rooms from double beds to twin beds to suit our numbers. The location was ideal with ample parking to the front in the centre of Salthill close to ATMs, pubs, etc.. It was easy to get taxis to go out in Galway. The self catering apartments were well... more

I stayed here in Oct-09 with a large group of friends and the quality of the apartments was perfect for the weekend that was in it. They are pretty basic but comfortable and in a decent location while staying in Galway. Since we were a large group, the owners made significant money on the weekend we were there but their... more

My review is a warning to potential travellers booking online. If you wish to go to this apartment, continue contact right up to arrival as you may find yourself without accom if you accept their confirmation as final. We finalised accommodation by email as with other apartments and B&B's throughout UK. This was the only place our confirmation by email... more

Would not recommend. The customer service and attitude was appalling at Arus Grattan. I could not believe in the current market how we were treated. Would strongly advise to steer clear, there is better value and service around. more

We had a great stay here. Sean, the owner, is very nice. We had a bay view flat with a balcony. We could cook and do laundry there. 2 bed and 2 bathrooms for about $115/day or so. Up the road (5 min) is a nice grocery store and the main street in Salt Hill with some cute bars and... more

The apartment for two people was very well furnished and also with a fantastic ocean's view. The owner (Sean) was very friendly and he told us immediately about the touristics places to visit and also places to go to eat. There was cable internet and with our laptop we could use it always free. We recommend it! more

Nice apartments but worst customer service I've ever encountered, there are better for the price, the owners want your money and you out the door without even a hello goodbye or thanks, such a shame more

I wholeheartedly concur with the previous reviewer comments about Arus Grattan. My two teens and I booked a two-bedroom on the 2nd floor of Arus Grattan last June, 2006. We were able to see the Galway Air Show from our balcony overlooking Galway Bay, or relaxed sitting inside to enjoy the view from the wall of windows facing the Bay.... more
