Sides B+B Best of IgoUgo

Hotel

Quote:
Sides is a relatively new B&B in Salthill, just outside Galway city. The room we stayed in was a very spacious double room. We had an en suite room and the room had everything we needed, including adequate furniture, a power shower, and a very clean bathroom. The room also had a very reasonable rate of 42 euro per night.

The people who owned the place, Anne and Derek, were very friendly, and the breakfast they served the next morning was delicious. They actually gave us a menu to choose from and catered to a broad range of tastes.

Matt Molloy's Bar Best of IgoUgo

Attraction | "Live music"

Quote:
Molloy's Pub is a very old traditional Irish pub where the live entertainment is just outstanding. It's basically just traditional Irish music and it's perfect for tourists who want a taste of Irish culture. Different musicians are in every night providing a broad range of the different aspects of Irish music. The night we were there, we were invited to join in and I even got a lesson in how to use a bodhran (a traditional Irish handheld drum). The staff is very friendly and they helped us find somewhere to stay in the city. The only drawback I could see was the price of drinks in there: a pint of Guinness was 4.60 euro, which I thought was a bit steep. Overall, though, we had a really good tim...Read More
