We stayed in Galway for one night. The room was nice, clean and comfortable. It was a close walk into town and a nice view of the water. Breakfast was a homemade Irish Breakfast and was fantastic. Our host was nice, polite and helpful. She even let us keep our luggage there until we were done touring the city.

The location of the establishment is ideal for a walk on the promenade which is relaxing and refreshing. It is also approx. 20 minute walk to the City Centre. The premises was full on my visit. The staff were very friendly and professional with tea and biscuits served on arrival. The accommodation was basic put comfortable. The breakfast was very... More

The owner is Australian and very friendly gave us some great tips. Breakfast nothing special but hey it was free. Galway is an easy walk within the B&B and we had... More

The room and location of this Guesthouse were good, however we found that the service was quite disappointing. The managers were not on-site and breakfast was served late because some of the staff were late turning up - this made it difficult as we had other destinations we had to hurry to. The check-in staff were not very helpful and... More

When we arrived late in the afternoon we were told by the manager that they had overbooked and they didnt have a room for us! Thats it...your out of luck. Seriously....Who does... More
