I can only recommend Adare Guesthouse! The interior made you feel right at home, everything was very clean and good smelling, the beds are comfortable and on top of that the Family that owns Adare are very kind and friendly, offer you advice (and a piece of chocolate). If you are on foot you are in the city center and at the beach in under 10 minutes and other bus stops are also easy reachable.

The location is super- right on the beach front. walking distance from Galway city. The room had double aspect views overlooking the beach. With our package we had wine and chocolates each day and bottled water. A lovely touch. Loved breakfast too.
