My sister and I had a wonderful experience at Westwinds Guest House Galway.
The accommodations were great, the place was very nice, it was very clean and beds are comfy.
Our room had a view of Galway Bay.  Parking is on site.  It was easy to walk to Galway City and so close to Salthill town. Shauna (our hostess) is so !nice and friendly. Our breakfasts were so delicious.  I would stay there again.


Westwinds Guest Lodge Galway, a great place to stay

My husband and I travelled to Galway and stayed at WestWinds for two nights. It was about a 20 minute walk from the main town and the path along the water provided great views. Shauna was very nice and welcomed us with open arms. Very kind and personable!!! She was very open to help us with anything we needed. She provided great recommendations within town as well. I accidentally left an item in our room, contacted Shauna, and she offered to ship it to my final destination at no cost to me. The nicest thing ever! Our stay was fantastic!! 10/10 would recommend staying here!

Wonderful!

We stayed in the 3 bed family room . The air bnb was on the Salthill promade overlooking the wild Atlantic way. A short walk to the city center, shops and pubs, it is a quiet area for a restful sleep. It is also a short walk to O’Reilly’s, O’Connors and La Collins. Shauna, out host served up a delicious breakfast. Nothing but wonderful can describe our stay.

Westwinds Galway

Charming guesthouse overlooking Galway Bay. Easily reached by public transport or parking outside if driving. Comfy room . Delicious home cooked breakfast in the morning with owner on hand to help with any request.

Stunning Location Delicious breakfast

We 3 friends stayed in a lovely triple room, up one flight of stairs, which was spacious enough for an extra trundle bed. We were really welcomed by Rita.  Her daughter Shana runs the quiet guesthouse now and managed the excellent breakfast. She was really accommodating for our various choices. Breakfast was wonderful  and covered many options including full Irish, vegetarian and other choices. The property  was spotless and decor lovely with stunning views of Galway Bay. 10 minute walk along promenade to Salthill. We couldn't have asked for more and will not hesitate to book again for our next trip as we couldn't have asked for a more hospitable stay. 5 stars. Excellent. And thanks a million.

Superb Guesthouse B&B Salthill Galway. Will come again.

This is a charming B & B in Galway. Nice and calm area. 
You can easily walk from there to enjoy everything around.
Really welcoming people. 
The B&B is perfect in all ways, perfect breakfast and peaceful during the night time. I recommend ++

We were fortunate enough to have booked in advance 2 rooms at Westwinds during the Art Festival in Galway.  We enjoyed it so much, we've booked 3 rooms for us and relatives for July 2020, again during the Art Festival in Galway.  The rooms are large, comfortable, and cooled with open air and fans.  The "made-to-order" breakfast was delicious and all the breakfast items one would expect are on their breakfast menu.  We spoke to the owner, Paddy, just before we departed.  We could tell that there is a lot of pride and attention to detail at this convenient little B&B in Salthill, Galway.

Family-owned B&B Just Right For You

My husband and I have just returned from a trip around Ireland and we stayed here for 2 nights.
Great location, 10 minute walk to the town.
Galway Bay is just opposite and stunning views.
We loved Galway, so many places to eat and drink.
Westwinds was quiet and comfortable with very friendly staff.
Good breakfast available.
We had a room at the back which was quiet.
Would definitely recommend.

Lovely place, great view.

The rooms in the west winds are pretty and cosy with comfy beds. The room at the top facing the sea as a nice view but the window did not have curtains which was annoying, the breakfast was ok hand the host was nice.

Nice stay

This was our last stop in Ireland. All our other stays were wonderful, this was a huge disappointment. Believe or not, because it was race week in Galway the price for the room was about $240. What a rip off. A B&B is a service business and these people prcvided no service. They were quite ungracious.
The only time they reached out to us was to know our time of arrival so that they would not have to wait for us, but leave us a key if necessary . They were there at 7:30 when we arrived, but there was no graciousness in their greeting. We were not asked if we needed any help with restaurants or directions. When we asked, they did give us a name or two but were not really helpful. We asked how we could get ice in our room after we retruned from dinner and they finally figured out how to leave it in our room before they went to bed. The second night we forgot to ask, and no one was up, so no ice. Of course there was no ice machine, no ability to get your own ice from the freezer, and no ice bucket.  I can't believe that no one has ever asked for ice before.
The room was very small and in ill repair. The chairs were full of scratches, the mattress was uncomfortable and the mattress cover was the kind with plastic on the bottom. The last time I saw that was in a cheap motel years ago. The glass on the night table was cracked, with a bit of tape on the edge, and if you were not careful you could scratch yourself.
The bathroom was miniscule and you had to be very careful not to burn yourself in the shower. I know usually the complaint is a lack of hot water, but it can be just as bad, and dangerous , if the water is too hot. In the bathroom there was a sign not to wipe off yourt makeup with their towels. I agree, but then provide makeup wipes or at least tissues- not.
Breakfast was mediocre at best. Our  scrambled eggs, cooked fresh, were overcooked and pretty inedible.They did come with a grilled tomato which was a nice touch. We do not eat meat so can't comment on their meats served. There was store bought bread and no pastries at all. There were yogurts and different kinds of cereals and granola.
We left early after a 2 night stay, and they did offer us breakfast which was nice. However, the owner did not even come out of the kitchen to say good bye and ask how our stay was. The only time that we saw her, was the first day when we looked for her to pay our bill. (The first night we saw the owners mother).
We thought perhaps that we were being picky, but on our second night there we met another couple who had the same reaction. they said these were the first unfriendly Irish that they had met all of hteir vacation. We second that.
Needless to say, we will not return.
