We enjoyed a memorable stay at Amber heights last year, taking our lead from tripadvisor reviews, we booked up and drove down from Belfast for a two night stay. The Guesthouse is easy to find and well situated, the beach was about a 10 minute walk away. The room was spacious, spotlessly clean and reasonably tastefully decorated, definitely not tired... More

We stayed in the self catering chalet in the garden with our toddler. It was small, but had everything we needed - a couple of sofas, table and chairs and a fairly decent kitchen area (we didn't cook, but there were a few pans and an oven, so you'd be able to cook basic meals easily enough). It sleeps four,... More

Had a very nice experience staying here. The staff were efficient, the house is modern and cosy and the room was spacious and comfortable with the usual TV, kettle, hair dryer combination. Breakfast was lovely and there were a wide variety of options. It's not the friendliest staff I've experienced in a Galway B&B, but they were still far from... More

The rooms are nice and completely frurnished with even an ironing board. Friendly people who welcome you. Room and bathroom was very clean. Make sure to bring your own amenities because there is no shampoo, etc. Soap is available through a dispenser at the wall. Mattresses are quite soft. Breakfast has to be paid for separately for EUR 6 per... More

We were very happy with our choice of Amber Heights. The room was very clean, and they did provide extras like an ironing board, coffee machine and an in room safe. The public areas were nice, and the availability of a computer and printer was great. The staff was very accommodating. They did laundry for us on very short notice,... More

Stayed at Amber Heights for three nights while visiting Galway. Were disappointed that it is in the middle of a residential neighborhood quite a ways from the center of town. However, our room was clean and spacious, and I liked that they provided lots of extra touches - hair dryer, ironing equipment, cappuchino machine, etc. Hot water is slow in... More

Very small bathroom and the room did not seem very clean. The place is a little far from the city so you'll definitely need a car to get anywhere. We didn't order the breakfast, so we can't comment on the food.

We stayed in the two bedroom self catering unit out the back and it was great for us. SO nice to be able to cook your own meal after eating out most of the time. TV is huge in lounge room and smaller ones in both bedrooms. Nice way to spend a quiet night in and beach is 15min walk... More
