Area Description
There is always something to do in Galway. There is no need to venture far from the hotel to enjoy the city.
Staff are very friendly and helpful and the hotel facilities are all available and very convenient. Only criticism is there is no catering service available after 10pm…..
Reception Staff were courteous to us when we arrived. Bar staff Eoin was nice and courteous very helpful. Thought the hotel was a bit pricey for what we got. Otherwise no complaints whatsoever!! Thx Ruth
Lovely hotel,friendly staff,highly recommend a hotel to stay in.
Nice staff, good food and drinks
The staff were very welcoming, professional and helpful.
It was a nice hotel the staff couldn’t fault them and the reason we booked was so we would get the benefit of the Leisure centre but Unfortunately we where unable to booked as it was all booked up I found it a bit difficult to download the scan code as my phone is not as up to date as I would like so if anyone booking in future they would have to be phone savvy as everything was done online now I sure if I had asked the receptionist she might have help me manage it on my phone but as they say pride before fall
Hotel was quite dated, Room was freezing when we arrived & breakfast was just ok. However; the staff were all lovely & helpful
All staff were so friendly and helpful. Hotel is in a brilliant location with a bus stop right outside to bring you to the city centre.
Good value for money. Could do with a refresh though. Carpets are showing signs of age, and rooms need some money spent on them. Cleanliness was fine, just time for investment. Food in bar was really good, breakfast was OK, could have been hotter but plenty of selection. I would return.
Lovely hotel nice staff very enjoyable stay
Staff helpful. Convienent location
Stayed here with my husband for a mini staycation absolutely loved this hotel, from room which was huge to food and staff everything was fantastic cant wait to stay here again.
Nice clean and quiet Hotel. The staff are very professional especially the bistro/ bar staff. The food service in the bistro was very quick, the food was hot when served plus very tasty. The only downside was the covid restrictions.
Great hotel very well run under the circumstance with covid . Felt very safe great friendly staff
Amazing hotel, amazing service and all staff so nice and helpful
Super hotel in a good location, spotless clean, comfortable, excellent food, both breakfast and dinner in the restaurant was lovely, bedroom was spacious and clean, beds were really comfortable too, swimming pool was excellent. But best of all was all the staff like every staff member we met was so friendly welcoming and very helpful and we both said it was the best customer service we have received in a hotel in a long time which was both surprising and lovely to receive at the same time. We had a brilliant relaxing 2 night b&b +1 evening meal stay which was great value and would highly recommend the Clayton hotel in Galway to everybody you wont get much better in our opinion and we will most definitely be back again. Thank you to all the staff again. Brian & Lynda
Easy check in and out, lovely staff, clean and spacious room and great breakfast!
Great hotel, easy access from Eyre square and the rooms were lovely. Will return again!
Lovely hotel, very friendly staff. Room was very spacious and clean. Really comfortable beds! Pool was great. A brilliant hotel for a short break.
I found this hotel to be very bright and spacious and welcoming. Staff were very nice and efficient. Ideal place to stay on a visit to Galway and surrounding areas, a bus stop outside hotel very convenient and takes you into the city in approx. 15 mins. 2.10 Euro single trip or taxi ride costs approx. 15 Euro. Would recommend this hotel.
We stayed in the Clayton Hotel for 2 nights. Room was nice and cozy. Food was brilliant. Staff were very efficient and lots of them on. I would recommend to everybody. Thank you. Geraldine and Jim.
My partner and I stayed at the Clayton recently through Lidl Breaks and I have to say I throughly enjoyed it. Everything was super and the value of booking through Lidl was an added bonus. The hotel itself is very nice and the selection for breakfast was fantastic. I definetly will be returning to the Clayton Galway.
very good Hotel .Had a great stay in the Clayton thank you
Fab hotel, rooms so spacious, fab food friendly staff. Couldnt complain everything was perfect.
Nice hotel, clean, well sized rooms and a small pool/leisure centre.
Hi.stayed at this hotel last week.lovely big room.great with two baby's.great bar and restaurant food.swimming pool nice.gud service;towels given at pool entrance.also bags for wet ware.all in all gud stay.freindly staff.will be back.
Regular bus service right outside the hotel to the town. Great staff and amazing breakfast buffet. Very comfortable rooms. Highly recommend staying here.
Our stay was perfect. The room on the third floor was nice and big, clean and quite modern. The staff were lovely too. I woudl recommend this hotel.
We stayed here in the clayton last sunday 31st may .., from the moment we booked in we were warmly greeted with friendly professional staff.., we had an 8 month old baby with us and we were looked after to the highest standard ..we will definitely be back to stay again and will highly recommend the clayton to friends and family Regards kevin barry
Really enjoyed our stay, the room was very comfortable & staff helpful. We had food in the bar on the evening of our stay & it was the standard of a top restaurant.
Had a brilliant time in this hotel for the weekend and it killed us to leave on sunday. The staff were amazing and couldnt be any nicer, especially joe in the tribes restaurant he was an absolute gent. We will definitly be back again in the future
Just returned from a 3 night break with this hotel. I have to say it was excellent value for money. We stayed in a family room with two small children and it was huge! Really nice and clean too. The staff in the hotel were all very friendly and accommodating. We had food in the bar a few times and it was really tasty. If i was going to be critical at all i would say that our room was very cold when we got there, however there was a heater in the room and it heated up quickly once that was on. I would definitely recommend this hotel to other families.
Excellent place to stay, would highly recommend it.
Fabulous hotel would stay there again. we stayed late October (bank holiday wkend), and there was a great buzz around the hotel, in the bar / restaurant etc. and thats something you can never guarantee no matter how much you pay! everything was clean , beds were comfy. Nice food and wine. 10 minute drive to the city centre. would definitely recommend.
This is one of the nicest hotels I have stayed thus far. The staff are friendly and warm and always on hand to every request. The room we stayed in was a family room and was huge with two double beds , dressing area and lovey bathroom. We had a balcony also, which we didn't go out onto as there were some loose wooden boards and a bit dangerous with a four year old (was reported to staff on checkout)On booking our room I had requested a fridge for our daughter for her milk and medicine and upon arrival wasn't there. After two phones calls and about 2 hours wait it finally arrived and made our stay more relaxing as not worrying about how to keep milk cold!!!! The pool was amazing and on both days that we used it it was complete empty (we went about 2pm on both days) and we had the pool to ourselves!!!!! You get towels down in the pool area and armbands, floats it was amazing, you have to wear swim hats so buy them before you go. There is no shallow or deep end the pool is the same dept the length of the pool so bear that in mind with little ones. Breakfast was lovely. Our daughter is a fussy eater and staff were very attentive to her needs, and they even remembered for the next morning what she liked and brought it without being asked which was wonderful. I was celebrating my 40th birthday over our stay and was a little surprised that a little gift or card was not present in our room which is very usual for most hotels that I've stayed in and I've stayed in a lot!!! (my husband did mention this on booking). This personal touch was lacking and kind of let the Clayton down in my opinion. But that was the only thing, this hotel is big and grand with beautiful fixtures and fittings and will be staying here again.
Fantastic hotel,everything and all the staff were great,best value we have come across for this quality of hotel,will definately return.Great bus service to and from Galway city.
Just back from a stay at the clayton hotel with my husband and five children. We had joining rooms and they were clean and plenty of room. From the moment we arrived the staff were helpful and friendly especially with the five kids. The pool was clean and plenty of clean towels available. Food was great and plenty of variety for all the different age groups. There was a kids club but we did not use it as we were busy doing other activities in Salthill which is only 10 mins drive. We stayed as a couple in may without the kids and enjoyed it so we decided to stay there again when we were in Galway in July with the kids and they really liked it.
We have just returned from a 3 night family break in the Clayton and can say we really enjoyed our stay. We checked in with no problems and were given a room on 2nd floor on the wing where swimming pool was as it was great for kids.Our family room was fantastic and was very spacious and spotlessly clean.Beautifull white fluffy towels in a very large bathroom .It was also very quiet and peacefull at night and we slept sound .We had dinner on our 1st night in the bar very reasonable price and an excellent offer for kids menu of dinner dessert and a drink for€8.95 which was great kids loved their meal.Some really excellent dishes on the menu We were served by Daniel and have to say a very polite and friendly young man who engaged in conversation with 2 boys about GAA football and telling them he was from Kerry the home of the Gooch (kerry footballer) really impresssed them.he had no problems gettin them extra jugs of drinks and chatting away to them and did so with all the customers in the bar .Breakfast is also top class with everything you could want on display and if you have any request for poached boiled fried eggs no problem getting them from kitchen.Kids loved the pool and a realy nice young man doin lifegaurd got them some floats and balls to play with and here was also spotlessly clean.we spent our days touring around galway and just outside the main door is a bus 403 runs every 30 min that brings you in to Eyre Square middle of the city €6.20 for a family saves havin to drive in and parking charges The hotel is also close to shopping centre and cinema and there is a dunnes stores, chemis,t and some more shops across road.On our last night we had dinner in the restaurant and again top class food and service Have to thank the maid who was cleaning our room as you can imagine with 2 kids lots of stuff everywhere and when we returned every day she had the room tidy its the little things that gives us mammys a rest that count.We highly recommend this hotel for a break away for all not just familys.As we were checking out on Friday they were gettin ready for a wedding and it looked just amazing .The management of this hotel should be very proud of its staff who all do amazing work and do what the Irish are supposeto do and extend a Cead Mile Failte but unfortunately is not always the case in some hotels .Thanks to all at The Clayton for a most enjoyable& relaxing few days in beautifull Galway
We enjoyed our stay very much. The room was very comfortable and spotless. Food was good and well presented. Excellent value for money. We would defini tely stay there again!

This is an excellent hotel We loved our bedrooms they are so big and spacious. We stayed for 3 nights on bed and breakfast and had one 1 dinner which we all agreed was excellent We would highly recommend this hotel
My husband and I had a lovely break at the clayton hotel The staff were so friendly hotel was spotless, had so much to see and do in galway a great city to visit We didnt have time to enjoy the leisure facilites as weather was very good But had a look around and the lady was delightful to talk to Will look forward to going back
Just back from a lovely stay at the Clayton Hotel. Family rooms are beautiful, spotless, and very big. Staff are lovely from the receptionist Rochelle , bar men, waiting staff to the lovely house keeping ladies. xxx Thank you Clayton Hotel xxx
Great hotel and the staff could not have been more helpful. There were 19 of us for my father in law's 80th, we were really well looked after. The rooms are large and very comfortable. perfect hotel in every way, better than some 5 star hotels I have stayed at. We are all looking forward to returning again in the future.
staff were wonderful had a great weekend will be back
Donal, the receptionist was very helpful, offering to bring our bags to the room on arrival. He agreed to my request to have lunch/es to the value of the 4-course evening meal included in package as we prefer not to eat late. The first day we had two half portions of lunch, valued €7.45 each, and were told we could swap the voucher for that. I was not happy so the waiter called Nora, a manageress, who stated that the deal was "1 evening meal" and that Donal was only there three weeks, in other words he had no right to tell us what he did. When I argued the point, she begrudgingly said we could have one more lunch on the voucher. While the room was big and bright, the huge window did not open and while there was air conditioner, which was not easy to use, my mother who is elderly does not like cold air blowing on her. We asked for over-sheets and blanket as there was only duvet on the beds and we promptly got them. However when the beds were made up the sheets and blanket were taken away so we had to ask again. We also had to request toilet rolls. Madelina, who brought the sheets and blanket, was most helpful in making up beds offering to get anything else we wanted. The hotel was full with bus tours, but the restaurant could not cater for the crowd at breakfast. After asking, and getting, 3 times boiling water and tea it still was not hot, nor was the porridge, which on the first morning after waiting for pot to be refilled, was liquid with a burnt taste. The service in bar was very inefficient, having to ask for salt, cups, milk etc. Overall it was a very disappointing experience.
Brilliant Hotel, Very friendly Staff, Food was good and everything was very clean will definitely book this hotel again.
Brilliant , staff so helpful, food great ,pool lovely .family rooms a great size I hope to return soon
Wonderful hotel lovely breakfast and dinner .Staff were great really friendly underground car park great for family five star could not fault it. very good
ever thing was so perfected staft food room just so good and will be back
We have just returned from a very enjoyable break at the Clayton Hotel, Galway. On arrival we were upgraded to executive rooms. The staff were extremely friendly, hotel was beautiful. Breakfast was enjoyable. What a great hotel & we will definitely be making a return trip.
Just back from this hotel, very nice clean hotel, lovely staff.. We had an interconnecting room which was great as my partners teenage son came with us.. We also had our 8 year old daughter with us... I must say I was very disappointed in d leisure centre there was no kids pool for her and no kids allowed in the bar after 9 pm... Apart from the kids club which ran from 6.30 to 8.45 there wasn't much for her to do... We ate in the restaurant on one night and I must say food was lovely as was breakfast with a great choice of food.. All in all I don't think I would return as a family
Fantastic hotel, service, food, rooms were all excellent. Would highly recommend this hotel. The only thing is it cost 15 euro into Galway city in a taxi but if you wanted to just relax and stay in the hotel there is loads to do. Will def book and stay in this hotel again
excellent.
A very enjoyable stay.Hotel very pleasant,lovely breakfast and all staff were very pleasant and couldn;t do enough for you. Will definitely go back .4 $tar rating Bernie Mc Donald 14th April 2014
I cannot rate this hotel highly enough, dont be put off that it is outside the city as there is a bus service and a taxi only costs €15... we got a fantastic deal for €49 per person!! which included a two course dinner and tea/coffee... the meal was fantastic value and really nice, lovely friendly staff also made the experience delightful.. rooms had balcony and were large and bright .... def stay there again and use bargain breaks service too
Stayed here last weekend 6th april, hotel and staff was brilliant, food was amazing, would reccomend this hotel.
I don't have a bad word to say about the Clayton. It was my first time staying there and I will def be returning. I stayed as part of the B&B + dinner deal - the rooms were fab, really clean & comfy. The dinner was lovely, had nice choices. Breakfast was gorgeous, I think it was the best breakfast spread I've ever seen. Staff from reception to bar to restaurant were great, I couldn't fault their friendliness & efficient service. It is a little outside the city but a taxi isn't too bad if you are sharing, it was €15.
Beautiful hotel, staff extremely friendly. Will definately be going back there.
Had a great stay in the Clayton! The staff were extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful. The facilities were lovely, and I would definitely stay there again!
Hi i would like to recommend The Clayton Hotel, my husband and i had a lovely weekend there. We booked it through the Lidl breaks. On arrival the lady on reception was very friendly. We were surprised at how big and spacious our room was and the bed was the most comfortable i have ever slept in. The bar staff were very friendly and helpful as were the staff in the dining room for breakfast. I will return to this hotel again. Suzanne Buck
Highly Recommended. Beautifully clean hotel, breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Staff were very pleasant and efficient. Even though the hotel was packed we didn't hear a sound all night. The beds were amazingly comfortable, and the rooms really big with all required facilities. Great car parking. I will definitely return.
We stayed at the Clayton Hotel Galway at the weekend and i have to say from start to finish we could not find any fault with this hotel. The welcome we got from the receptionist was lovely and very pleasant. The rooms were big and everything you need was there. the bed i have to say were one of the most comfortable i have ever stayed in. we had dinner in the restaurant and were so helpful esp the gentleman that was welcoming us. he was there for the two morning for breakfast and it was like he knew us and couldnt be nicer. all in all, it was a great weekend and would highly recommend it to anyone.
The room was lovely - warm, clean, modern. The evening meal was ok, nothing special. Breakfast choice was good and they did have Gluten free bread which was a plus. I think they could improve on the taste of the evening menu though. However it was all very reasonable. Location was good too.
EXCELLENT HOTEL, WAS LATE FOR CHECK IN AND HOTEL CONTACTED ME TO CONFIRM LATE ARRIVAL, HAVE TO COMMEND STAFF ON THEIR FRIENDLINESS. BREAKFAST EXCELLENT AND SERVED RIGHT UP TO 11AM ON SUNDAY. WOULD STAY AGAIN. AS HOTEL IS LOCATED ON DUAL CARRIAGE WAY THERE IS SOME ROAD NOISE BUT DID NOT EFFECT OUR STAY 4 STAR PLUS
Great stay in Clayton hotel. lovely comfortable beds. Nice breakfast. Location a little far out but only about €10 for a taxi into town. Will definitely stay here again.
I would highly recommend this hotel, the rooms,staff,food & service was excellent and we are already lookn forward to our nxt stay, Not one complaint A+++
i would highly recommend this hotel. family room was spacious, clean and quiet. Staff were very friendly and helpful. i will definitely go back to the clayton :)
Stayed in the Clayton St Patricks Weekend with 2 children, had a fab stay, food and leisure facilities were great, rooms spotless and comfy, 10mins outside the city but the hotel had a great taxi service available, Amanda
The hotel has great facilities.All food from the breakfast to the evening menu was very nice and plenty to choose from.The staff were very helpful in all areas.Would definitely stay there again.
We had a lovely stay in March 2014. The hotel is in a built up area near a shopping centre and apartment blocks so the views are not great. However, the hotel was very modern and comfortable and well-finished. The bedroom was lovely as was the ensuite bathroo, The bed was really comfortable. The food was good and staff were very friendly. I would stay here again.
Excellent hotel. Very well kept, nice rooms and food. Will definitely stay here again if I go to Galway.
Lovely clean hotel, very friendly and helpful staff.
Myself and my husband spent 1 night 8th March to celebrate our 40th Anniversary along with our 2 sons, daughter and daughter in law, We all had a lovely time. the food was excellant, and the staff were really very nice. We thoroughly enjoyed Paddy's music, and my son got up to sing also. Great night all round, I would certainly recommend this hotel.
We as a family stayed at the Clayton Hotel in Galway for mid-term break, its a very comfortable hotel, the food is wonderful .. my children are Coeliac and they had a selection of cereals/bread, menu's very detailed 'Coeliac Friendly' options clearly displayed. They had a kids club which my children really enjoyed ... will be back
Very enjoyable stay. Spacious family room a big bonus. Friendly, professional staff. Excellent breakfast. Only negative - no kids pool which would've been nicer when staying with toddlers.
Hi just back form a lovely break in the Clayton, hotel was very clean, food was fab and the staff we so helpful, will be returning !!!
Excellent hotel - bright, clean, modern, great staff and excellent food...... Busy weekend...really enjoyed our stay.......our daughter loved the pool...... Will be back again...... Thanks
fantastic Hotel great staff Beautiful food best 4 star i have ever stayed at staff made the stay very enjoyable
Great Stay! Welcoming friendly staff especially at reception. Lovely food and had a great night in the bar. Highly recommend!
Nice hotel. Bar/bistro staff were friendly, attentive and helpful. Reception staff slightly less so (perhaps just very busy) but not really a problem. Breakfast was good. Bottom line was we got a dinner, bed and breakfast deal for very good value through Lidl Breaks so we were happy customers. One word of caution. Taxis seem to be very expensive in Galway. Not the hotel's fault but it cost us €14 to go into Galway and about the same to get back to the hotel.
The hotel is marvelous! It is very clean,nice room and well organised. Staffs are so friendly and helpful.I do recommend this hotel and I already make plans to back!!!
Really enjoyed our stay in the Clayton, would definitely recommend...
A very enjoyable experience. Lovely room, dinner and breakfast. Couldn't complain at all :)
had a very pleasant stay
Very nice hotel ,room first class and warm staff very nice and helpfull would stay again Seamus from ATHLONE
The Clayton hotel in Galway is on of the best hotels I have stayed in in Ireland. Staff are very helpful in all departments and the food in excellent 10/10 and I will be back soon.
