Fantastic location, very clean throughout and tasteful decor. We were on top floor, so half the space under the low roof was not usable. Staff immediately responsive when I phoned asking for a foldout bed. My husband had just tested positive for Covid and we were trying to keep some distance between us. Beautiful bathroom!!!

The staff at Feeney's is incredibly accommodating and we enjoyed every second of our stay. There is no breakfast provided, but the location in Salthill is optimal for a 3-minute walk to a local cafe or pub. We requested an earlier check-in and the staff did their best to meet our request, and they were overall kind and welcoming. I strongly recommend Feeney's to any traveller who wants to spend a great weekend in Galway!

I liked that everything worked as expected, the shower heads, coffee machine, AC, heating, etc. It was very clean and comfortable. Having both AC and heating available makes a huge difference for me that I get very hot quickly.

Unbelievably clean and tidy, I liked how everything in the bedroom and dining room were organised and could tell a lot of work had gone into making the space beautiful. The room was also very comfortable to sleep in.

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.
