buddy Kinlay House in galway. Its a hostel just off eyre square. Stayed there a couple of times, their double rooms have ensuites and are grand. shouldn't cost ya more than €25 per night if I remember correctly!
Any cheap and decent recommendations?
Going away for a weekend during the Eircom Leage 2 week break - looking at places on the web and they seem pricey for the weekend im going anyway (June 16th).
Want a b and b or hotel in the city centre so I dont have to get taxis- best I can find is the travallodge for 100euro a night (for the room) but is says thats 2k from city centre??
Anyone any recommendations for city centre, cheap and decent?

Sleepzone was where I stayed last time i was down and it was good cheap and cheerful except for the arrogant American guy working behind the counter
Now if the thread was called Places to stay in Salthill, i could have nipped in with a clever one-liner like

City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.

Kinlay House is gone and is beingn replaced with more shopsOriginally Posted by aido_b
Sleepzone [www.sleepzone.ie] has won a few awards and is a few hundred metres from Eyre Square. It will be full of Norwegian backpackers etc so may not suit you if you are going with family. There are B&Bs on College Road between City Hall and The Sportsground (where Connacht Rugby play) which is ten minutes walk from Eyre Square
I suggest that you stay in Salthill where hotels are cheaper. Look at the Warwick Hotel, The Spinnaker Hotel or maybe Anno Santo Hotel (not as posh as it sounds). All are beside bus stops for routes to the city centre.
For further info,check out the Ireland West tourism site www.irelandwest.ie

Salthill is probably the best way to go!
It's only 5 minutes from town!

Was in Galway 3/4 to for weeks ago. We stayed in the Menlo Park hotel, it cost €240 for 2 nights for a double room, so if your sharing - €60 a night! Great
weekend was had even though a hot Polish cleaner walked in on me whilst having a barry
Who Cares?!
I stayed in Flannery's Best Western just minutes drive from the city centre on Friday nite and they seem to do some good deals. I have a nice comfortable room and breakie for €75 for the nite.
God I fell in love with Galway at the weekend.....beautiful weather, great shops, lovely relaxed athmosphere, great drink and some of the nicest people on the planet!

Sorry WildRover but Galway beats Sligo hands down as an overnighter. In fact it is the best overnighter possible!

Have only boozing there twice - once for the big day out but didnt make it to pubs, etcOriginally Posted by Magicme
Went to a preseason friendly there last season, but was drinking cans from around 10 in the morning which probably ruined it for me - didnt hit the pubs til about 9 or 10. Went to a few different places, all seemed chilled out and a decent laugh, but packed and at that stage I just wanted a seat so ended up driking in a hotel residents bar to relax my very drunkan legs
I know all the pubs are supposed to be decent - staying in the main square, lovely job! - any recommendations for decent boozers (good beer garden, good live music)??
And whats the best nightclub?
Cheers

Cp's(central park) is the best nightclub by all accounts.
Cuba,Radisson and GPO are the other main clubs.

Cp's is a younger crowd so if you are 18-20 it'll suit ya......Originally Posted by Conor H
Otherwise the Warwick in Salthill (Has a live band and a DJ) a for a Saturday night or Halo in town (next to Cp's) for any other night good craic..
The Kings Head is the best Bar for live music by far..
The Front Door and Buskers for a bit of craic
