Affordable stay and great service. The beach is gorgeous. For traveling by bus the bus stops in the front of the hostel

Great place, awesome staff and amazing place. It's also a few minutes away from a marvelous beach, what else would you look for? More than worth the stay ❤️

One of the best hostel/lodge stays I have ever lived in. The hosts were absolutely friendly and very welcoming I must say. The vibe in the property throughout was amazing. The host family were always on their toes to check on their guests for their comfort and convenience. Additionally great location if you plan to visit the Aran islands or around. Keep it up Sea view lodge. Highly recommend.

The hosts are just so lovely and helpful! We felt warmly welcomed by the family and I really felt they cared a lot for their guests. The hostel is in a beautiful quiet location but actually very easy to go as the bus 424 from Galway passes right at their front door. Great place, 10/10 would recommend!

The staff are very friendly and the environment is very welcoming. The only problem for me was the location is about 30-45 minute bus ride to the city and takes a chunk of time out of your day. The scenery is beautiful tho!!

John and Jason are the best possible hosts, you will immediately feel so welcome ! The hostel was really nice too, the rooms and communal areas are clean. There also is a kitchen to cook your own food. If you don’t have a car, a bus will drop you right in front of the hostel and it also goes to Rossaveel where you can catch a ferry to the Aran Islands. There also is a really nice walk around the hostel. If you do have a car, it is a really good place from which you can discover the Connemara, ...

Loved staying here. The hosts,Jason and Veronica, were awesome. So lovely. The place was clean and well looked after and a decent price. I was driving so was able to park there but believe there is a bus that gets you there from Galway. And the bonus prize was a beautiful beach a 5 ish min walk away. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend

Well, well, well... Three Galicians went on a two-week motorbike trip around Ireland. We had booked for two nights at Seaview Lodge, but in the end we stayed for five... Why? Because of all the good things about the service: the rooms, the cleanliness, the great breakfast... but also because of everything that can't be paid for with money: the kindness, the closeness, the smiles, the joy and the ever-present good humour. Anthony, Veronica, Jason, John, a big hug for you all. Thank you for everyt...

A lovely little hostel about 45 mins from Galway city. The staff are super friendly and everything was very tidy. The Aran Islands and Galway city are easily accessible by bus. I'll definitely be back!

I had a very nice stay, the hosts were exceptionally helpful and friendly. They let me keep my bicycle in a secure spot in the back. It's not fancy but a great value for the money, highly recommended.
