Hotels/Accomodation
You find several Hotels recommended by NUI Galway at http://www.nuigalway.ie/procurement/internal/contracts_awarded.html (check the distance to DERI before!)
The closest and most convenient Hotel (right across the street) is Westwood House Hotel. We have an agreed corporate rate from NUI Galway with Westwood hotel at 89 EUR per night. Reservations can be made calling there and referring to that you are visiting NUIG requesting the special rate, or via our secretary: Hilda Fitzpatrick.
Glenlo Abbey is also very close to DERI (and has a nice golf course
). For ones happy with a friendly and nice B'n'B (nothing fancy, but walking distance from DERI), I recommend Abbey House, which has reasonable rates, clean rooms and an incredible Full Irish breakfast (number of rooms limited, though).
Getting there and away
AerArann flies directly to Galway airport from Dublin and several UK destinations. AerArann also opened a new route to Amsterdam 4 times weekly, starting from May!
Shannon Airport is the next bigger airport, offering direct flights from the US for New York, Boston, Chicago, for example.
Buses between Dublin or Shannon and Galway operate by CityLink, NestorLink, or Bus Eirrann
As for local transport, a reliable Taxi company is Big-O-Taxis, telephone number: +353 (0) 91 585858
