I’m organising our flights to Ireland and wondering what’s the best way to get to the hotel?

You have two options, you can fly into Shannon Airport and get an Expressway bus there to Galway (takes less than 2 hours). However, if your flight gets in very early in the morning you could be hanging around for the first bus until 7:55am (this may change in the future so we suggest checking on the Expressway website yourself). Once you get into Galway (Bus Station), we’re a very short walk away.

If you’re flying into Dublin, we recommend getting a train from Heuston Station and taking the scenic route! It goes directly to Galway, takes around 2 hours and 20 minutes and can be booked in advance on the Irish Rail website.
