Bus to Galway Bay hotel?

mel.b

I've got a course coming up for three days which is being held at the Galway bay hotel. Is there a bus that goes from the station to the hotel and does someone have a link? I don't really fancy driving each day and am considering the train or bus from ennis instead.

Perfect, thanks

Do you know what times the bus leaves - is it 00, 20past, 40past etc or 10, 30, 50 past. On that link it just says every 20min. I presume it is the first. Any idea how long it would take to get to the hotel from eyre square?

would only take about 7 - 10 mins depending on traffic.

Perfect means i can get the bus which arrives in at 8.30 instead of the train which gets in just after 8.

Correct.

Or the more-direct-but-less-frequent 413, which leaves from the same stop:

The Upper Salthill neighbourhood map will help you see where the hotel is relative to the bus routes

And the inner-city-bus-stops map shows you where to find the bus-stop in town, relative to the train station. You're after stop 9, outside the AIB bank.


Enjoy your course.

It'll take longer than 7-10 minutes, the timetable gives 20 minutes to get from Eyre Square to the Arus, and the Galway Bay stop is after the Arus so you're looking at 15 minutes minimum. Of course, it would be quiker to get off at the bottom of Dalysfort Road and walk 5 mins to the Galway Bay, but even then, you'd want to give yourself about 15 minutes.
