“Grand service, location and value.”

We were traveling with two teenage grandchildren and couldn't have had better service or location for the Amber Bay B&B. Very efficient but relaxed and friendly hosts.

Area recommendations
Amber Bay B&B is on the edge of a very busy Galway City. Close enough to get into town, but peaceful when we came back. Travel advice we received was up to date and accurate, which helped greatly.

“Just ok”

The staff was attentive and the food ok. Bedroom and bathroom were extremely small. Location was approx. 2 miles from downtown Galway and 1/4 mile from ocean.

Area recommendations
Would prefer closer to downtown. Easier to walk back and forth

“Good hotel!”

The hotel was a little difficult to find - thank you to the business owner who gave directions to us. The room was clean and suitable, yet small. The breakfast that was included with the room was delicious - thank you!

“alright...”

We stayed at the Amber Bay for 2 nights. It is about a 5 min. drive to the shops and pubs downtown. The staff were quite friendly and gave good advice on where to shop, eat, etc. The B&B was quiet and comfortable. The only issue was that the bathroom smelled a bit like mold or mildew. It didn't bother us much but if you have allergies it may be an issue.

“Hard to find”

Nice B&B but difficult to find. The street listed is not well known by locals and GPS did not recognize it either. However, it is located just off a major route.

Area recommendations
Quay St is a blast! Lots of clubs and restaurants.

“Would go back in a heartbeat”

This B&B was wonderful. Since we had GPS, finding it was no problem. The room was spacious, quiet and clean, and our hostesses were extremely friendly and provided excellent information on the area. Breakfast was good, but would have liked a little more variety (same every day). Would definitely go back.

“"Great B&B on the waterfront w/ really cute rooms and great service"”

We visited Ireland the first week of June 2010. Beautiful weather. Galway was our last stop after a little over a week in Dublin, Cork and Killarney. Amber House was our favorite accomodation of 4 on the trip. Great cosy room, we had a view of the bay, though not all rooms do. Staff was very friendly. Free internet and wifi that was actually accessible without a line! Great breakfast included. The "full irish" cooked individually to order, with cereal, bread and yogurt out. I left a bag full of souvenirs at the hotel when I checked out and before I could even call to see if they had found them, they had already emailed me to check my home address so they could mail the stuff.

Area recommendations
We didn't spend much time in Galway, but it's actually a pretty good sized city. The Salt Hill neighborhood where we stayed seemed nice. down by the bay, saw lots of joggers out running by in the morning.
Getting around
If you're tired and just want to get to your bed before exploring the city, take the northern loop following the roundabouts to Salt Hill and get off at the last then head toward the water. Amber Bay is on a row of B&B's which front on the water. You turn in to a driveway off the main road fronting on the water. The driveway runs parallel to the main street (along beside it, not perpendicular)

“Would Recommend this B&B to Everyone”

This B&B was a wonderful experience. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We asked directions to several nearby tourist attractions, and we were given the exact route to our destination. The rooms and bathrooms were very clean. Breakfast the next morning was a traditional full Irish breakfast, and it was delicious. I would definitely recommend staying at this B&B if you ever stay in Galway. Galway Bay was across the street and it was a perfect view. Truly a remarkable stay in all respects.

Area recommendations
Galway has a city center with multiple streets with stores and restaurants. There is also a tourist attraction called The Spanish Arch which was very interesting to see.

“Very Helpful”

We were greeted with, "We were unable to reach you. Our furnace went out and have made arrangements for you to stay next door." The B&B next door appeared to be very comparable. It is a very nice B&B. Steve was very helpful and would ask, "Is there any thing we can help with while you are gone?" We couldn't be happier. The complementary breakfast was excellent and very filling.

Area recommendations
We liked this location because it was a convenient location without being right in town where traffic can be a problem.

“More like a hotel then a B&B...which was good!”

Most B&Bs in Ireland are small and a bit cramped but quaint. The Amber Bay guest house was great because it was more like a really nice hotel, but with a homemade breakfast! The service was wonderful, our room was so nice and decorated in a very modern way. There is free Wi-Fi and a computer that you can use to connect to the internet. The Guest house is within a little cluster of other places to stay and about a mile, mile and a half from Galway city center. My boyfriend and I were able to take a few nice walks along the prom from the Amber Bay into Salthill. Room also had a mini fridge, TV and a DVD player!
