A great place!

Kevin CA Richmond, CA U.S.A.
Review Submitted: January 8, 2010 Date of Stay: December 2009
The Arus Grattan Holiday Apartments were fantastic! The property was spacious, clean, and perfectly situated for an easy walk or short car ride into Galway City Center. Salt Hill also offered a good selection of restaurants and bars, which was convenient for last-minute plans. The complete kitchen that the apartment included also afforded us the opportunity to make some delicious meals from home. The owner was extremely thorough and helpful, explaining all the details of the apartment completely, helping to make our holiday worry free. When I go back to Galway, I will definitely stay at the Arus Grattan Holiday Apartments.

As locations in Galway go, this is excellent and my first choice whenever I'm back in my home town. The landlord, Sean Treacy, in only ever 5 minutes away as he lives nearby, and tries (and succeeds!) to exceed our requirements in whatever way possible.

Better than a Hotel!!!

Review Submitted: December 7, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2009
When ever I visit Galway City/Salthill, I look to Sean Tracey & Arus Grattan Apartments for my Home Away! At this point, I think I have stayed in all of the apartment options and all are more than comfortable! All units offer porches with views of Galway Bay - with the Superior & Penthouse apartments offering non-obstructed views. The units (of various sizes) are exceptionally clean, accommodating all your self catering needs and convenient to Galway City (less than a 10 minute walk to Quay St). I love being on the Bay and have stayed many times within Galway City - which is too noisy with passerby's...this offers quiet nights and ease to get to the chaos without being in the middle of it. All for good value too (includes Parking)!

Get up in the morning and run along the promenade (maybe even kick the wall). Some really good restaurants are nearby to enjoy too and Sean can tell you all about them.

I look forward to my next visit and hope you enjoy yours as well!

Not sure if Sean lets you bring your pet..you'll have to check with him on that one.

Arus Grattan

Review Submitted: October 13, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
I would just like to say we have stayed in these apartments for the last 6+ years and can highly recommend them to anyone wishing to stay in Salthill. We go to Galway for one week in September playing golf and the fact that this property comes with its own secure parking makes life so much easier for us. The apartments are clean, comfortable and well equipped with everything you might want when away from home. The property is a minutes walk from the beach and the view over Galway Bay is spectacular and lots of shops, restaurants and pubs nearby. Our favourite is Lonergans on the promenade.!!!! The owner of Arus Grattan is always near at hand if you have any questions, him and his two lovely little dogs. A truly lovely place to stay.

Amazing views of Galway Bay!

Review Submitted: September 24, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
I recently returned from 2 glorious weeks at the Arus Grattan Holiday Apartments in Salt Hill, Galway! My mom and I had a beautiful 2 bedroom apartment overlooking Galway Bay and the famous Salt Hill Promenade. We found the apartment to be extremely comfortable and cozy and exceptionally clean. It really felt like a home away from home, and it boasted all the comforts of home! Sean, the owner obviously takes great pride in what he does and he maintains his properties to a an exceptional standard! He thinks of all the conveniences one might need including and iron, ironing board, washer, dryer, dishwasher and even a hair dryer (so you don't have to fuss with an adaptor)!
When we arrived Sean was there to help us get settled and filled us in on some local gems in the area like Mortons of Galway, a fabulous specialty grocer, as well as advising us on local restaurants and things to do. He is very accessible should you need anything during your stay.
We found the place to be absolutely beautiful and really enjoyed the beautiful views in our bright sunny kitchen with the huge balcony! Quite a memorable trip and I would absolutely recommend Arus Grattan to anyone who asked, in fact I've already recommended it to several people back in Chicago!!
I would most certainly stay at Arus Grattan again, in fact I can't wait to return!!
