Bit further out of the city centre, but meant it was quite to sleep, nice walk along the seaside in the morning and shops close by for dinner. 30 min walk to town but pretty sure there is a bus. Place kept clean and was quiet, bed was comfy but rooms a little crowded.

My daughter and I stayed one night. We were able to keep our luggage safely there until check out time. Staff were very helpful. Nice big relaxation room with tables and delicious chai at the cafe. Room was small but had everything we needed, very clean. Salthill area is a walk into Galway city center but many restaurants in close walking distance to Nest. Would stay again.
