Across recent reviews, Clybaun Hotel is praised for friendly, helpful staff, large modern rooms, and well-regarded leisure facilities like the pool and gym, while its suburban location with on-site parking and bus access suits visitors exploring Galway and Salthill.

Recurring drawbacks include the lack of air conditioning leading to warm rooms, occasional noise, and some dated bathrooms with weak water pressure or shower-over-bath setups.

Great hotel with newly decorated rooms and interiors. Food was excellent in the bistro. Staff were extremely helpful and welcoming. Only 10 mins into the city by bus which was very handy. Pool, hot tub and all leisure facilities were very clean and welcoming after a long day sightseeing. Will definitely return if I’m ever back in Galway.

We didn't have enough time to explore Galway but enjoyed our stay here. The reception staff was very friendly and handed me a nice free drink that was much appreciated (and needed). The room was very modern and clean with a comfortable bed and good TV. Parking is convenient and right next to the hotel. In a nice section of town and convenient to coffee shops and shopping.

Lovely atmosphere in the lobby area, but would suggest a play area for children and also re-configure the changing room for women/children as flight of stairs is difficult to manage to/from the swimming pool and same also need to get through the gym area before/after swim which brings up a safety and privacy issue!

Overall, the stay was good value. The food was good and was well priced. Service was fantastic. Found it kid-friendly even though I heard other guests complaining about having their kids cautioned by staff,. The leisure centre was fantastic. The only negative: The hotel room carpet was stained in multiple places had seen better days.

There isn’t much to do in this area. We felt the hotel was really expensive for what it offers. However, apparently they had a huge racing event, which would explain why prices were high everywhere. There is no AC in their rooms, so our entire stay was pretty unbearable because of the heat. You can skip the breakfast options. I don’t think it’s worth €15.

We stayed in the superior family room (me, my husband & 5yo little boy) and it was very spacious and clean. Found it very quiet, no ambient noises. Very impressed with the facilities - my little boy loved the pool. He also loved the pancake maker at breakfast. A lot of variety at breakfast. Good parking. Good location for Salthill, Galway City & Connemara. Really needs aircon though - even though we asked for a fan, which they provided, it would’ve been better with aircon and expected from a 4 star establishment.

We booked two adjoining rooms at the hotel for a two night stay. Staff were very polite and friendly and the hotel was clean. Bedroom was newly refurbished however this did not extend to the bathrooms of both rooms. Showers in both rooms did not work. Cold water and no water pressure. Brought the issue to the attention of management after day one and a service person was sent to repair. Repair did not work and despite reporting again to hotel there was no further progress. Mentioned to manager at checkout who agreed to investigate but I never heard back. Disappointing, as apart from the issue with the bathroom, the hotel was adequate.

The only negative was that we had to leave the window open to cool the room (no a/c) and at 07:00am, a garbage truck loaded a filled garbage container and the construction crew working in the hotel started tossing construction materials into the emptied skip (right below our window)!

It’s hard to believe this hotel considered a 4-star hotel. Check-in left much to be desired and no one offered to assist us with bags. One elevator for all the rooms? Our room was the farthest away from said elevator; two hallways from an exit. There was in fact an exit, but it was listed as staff only and was blocked with laundry carts. This would be incredibly dangerous in the event of a fire. Additionally the drain was missing from our shower, leaving a large hole in which I stepped and twisted my ankle. All in all, not a bad place to stay, just needs work.
