Accommodation[edit]

Some possible accommodation options in Galway are:

Sleepzone Hostel (Budget): Backpacker hostel close to the town centre/Eyre Square. Friendly staff and generally hassle free in my experience, though can be a lot of passing noise on the street outside. Free wifi in the spacious kitchen and lounge area, plus an thanh lap cong ty, thanh lap cty, thành lập công ty, thanh lap doanh nghiep, thành lập doanh nghiệp, dang ky kinh doanh, dich vu ke toan, dịch vụ kế toán, bao cao thue, nha khoa internet room. Basic breakfast included in the price last time I stayed. Some private rooms, or you can sometimes get a whole dorm room to yourself if you don't want to share. A decent budget option.

Westwood House Hotel (Top End): Just across the road from DERI Galway, on the outskirts of town. Quite upmarket. I haven't stayed here, but the restaurant is decent.Logo Design Contest Possibly a good option if you just want to visit the DERI building, but maybe a bit inconvenient if you want to get to and from town frequently?

Corrib haven : 5 minutes walk from DERI, a nice BnB. Bacon / Eggs / Sausages for breakfast. Not sure if they have single rooms, the price for a double one is usually 35pps. They have a wifi access, but not working very well. There's another BnB in front of that one, almost the same prices. Yet, as for Westwood, it's a bit far from the city center.

The Abbey House BnB - Just down the road from DERI, about 3 mins walking. Right next to the Corrib Haven (see above). The website looks a bit outdated, but the BnB is nice (I stayed there myself once).

Snoozle's (Budget): Another backpaper hotel in the city center (2 minutes from the new coach station). Not sure they have wifi, but it's brand new and really clean, at least in the lounge / kitchen, I didn't try the rooms.

Travel[edit]

Galway has decent bus (coach) connections with other parts of Ireland. Galway airport has some direct flights, but the nearest big airport is Shannon, from where you can get cheap flights to a number of places with Ryanair. Knock is probably also an option.

Of course, you can also fly to Ireland's biggest airport in Dublin. From there, you can either ...
- fly to Galway: Aer Arann (If you're not afraid of smallish propeller planes) (~35m),
- take the bus to Heuston Station (~30m) and then a train to Galway (~3h),
- take the bus to Galway. Options are Citylink and Bus Nestor (~4h),
- take a rental car. The drive will be about 3-4h.
If you fly to Shannon Airport, your options are again Citylink busses or a rental car. Shannon is much closer to Galway than Dublin, but unfortunately there aren't as many flights, especially in the winter.
