Wonderful location and Vinny was very welcoming and friendly.
Et sents com a casa, Viny és un bon anfitrió, atent i detallista.
El WC era molt justet, quasi no tenies espai per maniobrar
Very comfortable place! Felt like staying with family as Vinny, the owner, made a point of welcoming us and checking in with us each morning at breakfast on our plans and suggesting options for our day. Also loved that it was close enough to easily walk to downtown and the Salthill promenade, and that there was a small lot with room to park our car.
There was no common area to sit except the breakfast room and the chairs there weren’t comfy enough to just relax in.
The owner was great and very helpful. He had a ton of local recommendations which we enjoyed checking out. The room was very clean and comfy. The breakfast was wonderful. Great presentation and lots of options to pick from. Easy to walk from the Lodge to downtown Galway, if a bit long.
Great position near the center Clean room, comfortable, quiet Vinny was a great host, accomodating and providing good tips to explore Galway

the location was perfect and the host was quite wonderful. Good continental breakfast. I told the host that I am a vegan and the second day he had almond milk for me.
The room was maybe the smallest we have ever stayed in. It was claustrophobic. The bathroom was so small that we had to duck our heads down under the shelf by the sink to brush our teeth (after first hitting our heads on the shelf). There was no TV. Also, the drains in sink and shower were not clean.
Excellent location with parking available. Vinny is a super host-very friendly and helpful!
Mit viel Herz geführte Lodge. Lage war perfekt für die Erkundung der Stadt oder den Sprung in den kalten Atlantic. Vinny war immer für Tipps und unsere Fragen da. Wir haben es sehr genossen.
Lovely host
Beds were so uncomfortable. Worst beds I have slept in in decades
Easy 10 minute walk to the latin quarter. Easy location to get to. Galway is a fun town for shopping, pubs and music.
No issues it was great
Mi è piaciuta molto l'accoglienza e la disponibilità dell'host. La colazione anche molto carina e molto buona! Il fatto che potesse avere un parcheggio assolutamente utile
Non ci è piaciuta la dimensione della stanza ma soprattutto del bagno, con un lavandino assolutamente troppo piccolo per potersi lavare anche i denti. Il materasso e il cuscino scomodi per noi.
The location is superb. It is just between Salthil, and town center (20 min walk on either direction). Breakfast was a very generous cold/continental style. The room had a small rustic look but the bathroom seemed to be recently refurbished and was very bright.
There was no coffee making/electric kettle in the room ! this was the very first time I have seen this in tens of hot4els and B &B around Ireland and UK. So if you regular coffee drinker, mind it! If you are into Irish Breakfast/hot food for mornings, you wont get it here! Also, there is no daily room service and additional towels would cost extra!
Die Lage ist perfekt, man kann zu Fuß nach Galway laufen. Vermieter ist sehr nett und gibt auch sehr viel Tipps. Man kann direkt an der Unterkunft parken.
Uns persönlich war das Zimmer zu klein, man konnte sich kaum bewegen. Gestört hat uns die fehlende Sauberkeit im Badezimmer, das geht viel besser. Ein viel zu kleines Waschbecken und eine Ablage darüber auf die man nichts stellen kann weil es sonst herunter fällt. Es fehlen Haken für Handtuch/ Badetuch und Waschtaschen.
The space was on a quiet street, close to the center of town. A great breakfast was provided each morning and they had wonderful suggestions of what to see and do around the area. Parking available was a plus
Perfect location- easy walk to either Salthill or city center. Breakfast was lovely. I really liked how we had our own little set up on our table. Food was delicious and there was a nice selection. Very clean room and breakfast area. Vinny was a friendly host and always ready to make helpful recommendations.
Nothing!
Vinny was super kind, helpful, and informative, helping make our trip amazing! Plenty of options for breakfast, and the rooms were comfortable, spacious, and clean. Thank you, Vinny!
It is in a quiet area, you will have a good sleep.

Muy buen desayuno y muy buena ubicación, mucha amabilidad
Vinny was a fantastic host! Great recommendations and incredibly generous! Location was exactly what we wanted, close walk to the hub of the city but far enough away so the area was quiet. If I ever find myself in Galway again I will be staying here!
Ideal location, would highly recommend. Vinny was very welcoming and breakfast very tasty also. Will definitely be back. 😁
Beautiful room and great location
Comfortable, clean and excellent locations. Vinny’s lovely too, and very helpful with his recommendations.
El servicio por parte del propietario fue excelente, muy atento y servicial. Además, la ubicación es perfecta ya que está a 5-10 minutos andando del centro. Tiene aparcamiento lo que hace que sea aún más cómodo. 100% recomendable.
Great location very clean and comfortable and Vinny is an excellent host would recommend a stay if you are planning a trip to Galway
There was nothing to dislike
Hébergement correspondant parfaitement au descriptif. Très joli, propre, confortable et très bon accueil par un hote avec qui il était agréable d'échanger. Un petit déjeuner très appréciable.
Great location. Breakfast fine Nice clean modern room
Vinnie is an outstanding host; helpful and responsive, with great local knowledge and pointed us in the right direction several times. The lodge is very comfortable, has a fantastic location — right in the west end and close to the Latin Quarter, and breakfast was simple yet ample. We'd definitely book again and pass along a recommendation!
It is a beautiful lodge close to downtown Galway. The host went out of his way to accommodate us & made us feel very welcomed.
Lovely, warm house. Friendly and welcoming host. Excellent location...short walk to city centre and to Salthill.
All very good. Great host, location and deluxe room was very nice.
No tea/coffee making facilities.
Vinny was so welcoming and helpful, he gave us great tips on where to go and what to do. The location was really good, being less than a 10 minute walk to the centre, and also closer to heading out to Salthill. The breakfasts in the morning were delicious!
Vinny was so welcoming, friendly, and helpful. Breakfast was a beautiful touch and a great start to our day. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Everything about this B&B is first class. Really cosy and comfortable bedroom. Lovely continental breakfast and the host Vinny is such a lovely welcoming host. You will not be disappointed staying here. We can't wait to return.😊
La ubicación y recomendaciones
El café del desayuno era soluble
Rooms were clean and well kept, and it was a 10 minute stroll to the centre of town or a 5 minute stroll to the seafront. Breakfast was a very good continental breakfast, and there was everything we needed.
Atmosphere, host, heat and comfort
Location was good.
Quality of breakfast was poor - no fresh bread; instant coffee; tasteless cold cuts and cheese; cold pancakes - everything seemed to be done to save time and limit work. Stayed 2 nights - no house keeping whatsoever. Room was not particularly clean and carpet needed a good wash.
Conveniently located and fantastic facility! The staff was kind, helpful and super friendly! The breakfast was adorable and great for an included continental! We loved this place!
Not a single thing- it was brilliant all around!
Good breakfast though not much choice for vegetarians and my two friends were vegetarians.
The fact that there was no lift and we had to climb two stories with luggage to reach our room . Difficult for people with knee issues.
Location is ideal, walking distance to Salthill and the City centre. The room was spotless, bed was so comfortable. Has everything you need. Continental breakfast was perfect. We were full for the day after it. The host was very friendly, very helpful and full of information about things to see and do. Home was absolutely gorgeous and in a quiet area. We had a warm welcome every morning. Will definitely stay again!
Loved everything.
Location great.
Breakfast was good . But it is not full Irish breakfast.
There needs to be a Keurig single serve coffee maker. Hot water and instant coffee doesn't get it done.
Prima Frühstück, ruhige Lage und doch nicht weit vom Zentrum entfernt. Sehr freundlicher Gastgeber.
Great location. Clean. The host was wonderful. He gave good suggestions of where to eat and things to do.
Ótima localização, bem perto do centro, tem estacionamento, bom café da manhã, o anfitrião é muito atencioso e flexível.
Warm, friendly welcome from our host, Vinny, who gave great suggestions for local pubs and activities. Communication with Lisheen Lodge very good. Nice continental breakfast. Tastefully renovated and decorated property.
Vinny ist ein sehr guter Gastgeber. Jeden Morgen gab er uns wunderbare Ratschläge, wie wir unseren Tag verbringen konnten und hat Rücksicht auf individuelle Frühstückszeiten gelegt. Die Räume waren sehr sauber und die Unterkunft im ganzen sehr gemütlich. Zu Fuß erreicht man in wenigen Gehminuten das "Latin Quarter". Dennoch ist die Lage sehr ruhig.
Auch wenn das Badezimmer sehr sauber war, war die Ausstattung etwas veraltet und das Waschbecken etwas zu klein. Lüftung und Spülung funktionierten nicht immer optimal, was aber nicht weiter schlimm war.
Very friendly staff, good location, nice and modern room
The bed wasn’t very big or comfy
Vinny is a super host as he created a super special must-stay place in Galway. Thanks for hosting us, for the amazing breakfast, the hints & the great time.
Nothing - all expectations fulfilled
Great location
Room quite small
wunderbare Unterkunft, sehr gepflegt, sehr sauber, perfekter Standort; Gastgeber ist super hilfreich und freundlich
Immaculately clean and beautiful. In a quiet neighborhood that was within walking distance of City Center. Public bus stop only 2 blocks away. Breakfasts were amazing! What made this property even more amazing was the host, Vinny. There are not enough stars to give to him. I am traveling with my elderly mother and Vinny went out of his way to assist in her comfort and enjoyment of Galway. When I return to Galway, I will return to this lodge with fond memories.
Absolutely no complaints!
Great location and lovely breakfast
Nothing
Very clean. Comfortable beds. Welcoming host. Good continental breakfast.
I would have loved a choice of poached eggs and toast for breakfast. Or maybe an omelette maker. Or a waffle maker. Just a suggestion.
Acolhimento. Simpatia. Conforto.
Property is very well located and close to the centre. Clean and recently renovated
Lack of black out blinds in bedroom making it difficult to sleep in the mornings at summer time. Breakfast could do with an upgrade
Vinnie was a fantastic host and gave great recommendations. The accommodation was clean and as promised. It is in a quiet part of town, near beaches and the Salthill Prom, about a 10 minute walk to town. You can walk from the bus or train station and to the docks if taking a ferry. Breakfast was delicious, and Vinnie made us feel welcomed and at home. Thank you!
Everything was fine - no complaints
Great location, very clean and comfortable rooms. Vinny was a great host, super friendly and helpful.
This may have been our favorite place to stay during our trip to Ireland, which is saying a lot because we visited some great places! It felt like visiting a friend in Galway - seeing their lovely home, being welcomed with chocolates, and having a delicious breakfast before heading out to explore. Vinny was incredibly welcoming and helpful with recommendations, and we were also fortunate to meet his lovely friend Ciarán who helped us check-out on our last day.
Vinny was fantastic and was sure to have breakfast ready for us at an agreed time each morning, property on a quiet street but still a short walk to city centre, comfy bed, plenty of recommendations provided too :) would stay again!

Everything about this hotel was perfect. Great room, amazing location. The breakfasts were delicious and offered a great variety each morning. The host was incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. Thank you for a wonderful stay in Galway!

Vinny is a very friendly host. Everything was as expected and we had a great stay. Nice breakfast!
Breakfast was adequate. Close to supermarket. Close to beach promenade. Friendly host.
Stairs
The host was very helpful giving advice and tips for local amenities and entertainment.
It would be good to have tea / coffee making facilities available all day in room or dining area.
High standard. The location was wonderful, walking distance to the beach and restaurants, and town. Lovely building, nicely decorated inside. Vinnie was very welcoming and helpful. The room was spotless, cozy and quiet. Very nice Continental Breakfast. I was looking to destress and left feeling refreshed and rested. ♥️
Amazing host and the breakfast was very nice
Room was super small and the bathroom door didn’t really offer full privacy (sliding door that left a small gap).
Very close to city Nice quiet spot at night no noise Very comfortable rooms and staff were a pleasure to deal with
Accessible to the city, quiet and rooms were neat and tidy
The towels had an odour after one use, the shelf in the bathroom above the sink was loose so couldn’t place anything on it, and there was a smell from the drain in the shower
The accommodation was very warm and inviting, the room was rustic with a modern touch, the continental breakfast had an excellent selection, the manager Vinny was very attentive and provided great recommendations for places to visit in the city, and the location was convenient. Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend anyone to stay here.
Nothing to note
Great, peaceful location. Managed to park at the yard. Supermarket nearby and restaurants as well. The room was clean and nice. Wellcoming water bottles and some chocolate🙂
The room can be warm in summertime. We needed to open roofwindow even in October. Breakfast was small disapointment.
The Lodge was beautifully renovated.
No chairs in the bedroom.
Very close to shops, great restaurants and beautiful scenery. Clean accommodations; quiet area. Welcoming host who was most gracious. Very nice breakfast included
Loved our stay room was lovely, breakfast was great with great variety. Or host Vinnie was amazing and couldn't do enough for us would highly recommend staying here great location with a short walk to either the beach or the centre
Only slight problem with the position of the toilet as we were in the attic room and my partner is tall and he kept hitting his head on the wall 🤣
Distance to city centre Friendly and helpful staff Spotless clean Generous and nice continental breakfast Relaxing Comfortable beds
Room slightly small for family of 3 people No TV or tea facilities in the room but these facilities were available on the ground floor
Excellent service and wonderful location!
Really nice place, exceptionally clean, I received a very warm welcome and felt very cared for!
