The Stop

The Hosts could not have been nicer & more helpful! Wonderful location for restaurants, bars, shops! Very clean & comfortable! We had a Wonderful stay!!! Thank you!!!

Great location lovely hosts room cosy and spotless

Breakfast choice was a bit limited however what was on offer was excellent

Property was in great part of town. It was clean, warm and inviting. Beds were great. Russell was fabulous. So helpful and willing to please. Breakfast was wonderful. Overall just a fabulous place.

Best breakfast in Ireland so far

The ensuite was a bit small but very modern so all fine

Clean, comfortable, great location

The bathroom was small. My husband couldn’t use the shower

Fabulous in every way! The location was ideal with just a quick walk through the West End into the Latin Quarter of Galway. Russell provided the best recommendations for food, drink, & music! The room was very clean & comfortable. And the breakfast was delicious with lots of fresh homemade treats and local products.

We loved it all and we wish we had stayed an extra night here.

The staff that greeted us was very helpful and informative. We enjoyed the hotel. The room and bathroom was a bit on the smaller size. Breakfast was delicious and we enjoyed the location and proximity to the waterfront, shops and food in Galway.

Staff and breakfast

Bed was too hard, room 10, which was too small

The accommodation has so much personality. The staff is very welcoming, friendly, helpful & kind. The location was central & convenient, yet peaceful & relaxing.

Fabulous selection and presentation of breakfast choices! Cool vibe, great decor. Wonderfully friendly and helpful staff!

Het heerlijke ontbijt naar keuze en het parkeren bij B&B.

Er viel niks tegen (aanrader!).

Wir fanden unseren Aufenthalt einfach nur schön. Die Zimmer sind nicht besonders groß aber sehr gemütlich und geschmackvoll eingerichtet, das Personal ist supernett und das Frühstück einfach nur liebevoll gemacht.

Fresh and delicious with several options to choose from

A lovely gem! Stayed for 2 nights during our Ireland round-trip and loved it. Not cheap but worth it. Great central location, quiet, nice room with a comfy bed. Very friendly and helpful staff. This is not an anonymous hotel but rather a home away from home kind of place. Breakfast is plentiful and made ro order. Location is an easy 10 minute walk from the city centre, just off the west end area with lots of restaurants, bars and shops.

Don't expect expansive rooms (it's a converted house) but what they've done they've done well 👏

Location is great. Walkable to tourist areas and grocery store.

Small portions for breakfast, parking is a nightmare, rooms very small, bathroom so tight no room for trash can. Staff is very young and inexperienced. Very Over-priced for what the lodging has to offer.

Excellent location — just a 10‑minute walk to the West End or into the town centre. Off‑street parking, which was very convenient. Warm welcome on arrival — Russell was friendly and helped us find somewhere to watch the World Cup. Breakfast was good — fresh ingredients and decent options. Very clean — rooms and common areas were well maintained.

The Stop operates more like a small hotel than a traditional B&B, as the owners don’t live on site. Compared with other B&Bs on our trip, the experience felt less personal. We only saw Russell three times across our stay, and interactions were brief. On one occasion, he re‑introduced himself to us despite checking us in the day before, which felt a little odd. Breakfast, which is usually a highlight of B&B stays, was more chaotic than expected. Tables were often uncleared and had to be reset while guests waited, and used dishes weren’t removed before hot food arrived, leaving little space. Portions were noticeably smaller than at other B&Bs we stayed in, and the “squeeze your own orange juice” idea was fun in theory but impractical in practice. Guidance on things to do in the area was limited and tended to focus on food and drink rather than sights or experiences. Other B&Bs we stayed at offered much more proactive local insight, which made a big difference to our trip. The room itself was clean but had some practical challenges. The bathroom was extremely small, with the basin located in the bedroom, and no space for a sanitary bin. You need to do a yoga twist just to reach the toilet roll! The ventilation setup meant the bathroom light was left on daily by the housekeepers, which felt at odds with the signage asking guests to conserve energy. Towels never fully dried as a result. Finally, the property is quite noisy. We could hear guests coming and going, keys in neighbouring doors, staff arriving from around 7am, and conversations from the lounge and dining room.

A cozy very beautiful b&b. Very good breakfast thoughtfully prepared. We received excellent information from the host, Russell.

The west end is your friend…great location. Russel is a superb host with excellent recommendations for all. The staff is wonderful. Could not recommend more highly.

The Stop is in a great location about 10 mins walk into Galway City. It's a shorter walk to Galway's 'Westend', where there are pubs and restaurants (Hooked is a great fish restaurant located here). It's 10 mins walk in the opposite detection to the coast, where you can walk along the seafront. Opposite The Stop is a Tesco supermarket and a small post office. The Stop is located on a main road into Galway, our bedroom was at the back so we didn't hear any road noise. Parking is behind the property, and Russell can direct you in as it's a bit complicated from the road. There's 5/6 spaces, it's a bit tight but fine. Our bedroom was small but had everything we needed. The bathroom was tiny with just a toilet and shower, albeit a double one. There's a sink in the bedroom. The breakfast was very good, with some nice choices. The property is focused on sustainability and offering organic, homemade food. The breakfast was a real USP for the property. Tea and coffee were available in the breafast room all day, and homemade biscuits were put out at around 4pm, but you had to be quick, or they were all gone! The other main USP was the location. The staff and Russell were super kind and helpful. We had a great time in Galway and were very happy we stayed at The Stop.

Bathroom a bit tight, but we managed ok. There's no TV in the building, but we didn't miss it.

Frühstück am ersten Tag, als Russel da war.

Frühstück am zweiten Tag, Russel war nicht da. Pancakes kalt, Personal unaufmerksam (es ging alles aus: Kaffee, Teller, Orangensaft, Gläser…). Personal war trotzdem sehr nett, nur eben musste man alles nachfragen (unaufmerksam). Das Zimmer war sehr klein. Das Bad viel zu klein. Von allen B&B auf unserer Irlandreise war dieses das mit dem „kleinsten“ Raumangebot.

There isn't much I can add to the glowing reports for The Stop. This high style boutique bed and breakfast has everything dialed in. The staff is caring and friendly. The food next level. Decor is high end. The location is wonderful. We loved walking around the local hip neighborhood with cafes, bars, restaurants, and thrift stores. An easy 10-15 minute walk into the heart of the touristy center, but we appreciate being slightly outside of it in a quieter location. Private parking behind the building was a bonus.

Our double room was small, but thoughtfully appointed. The bathroom was also tiny, but had everything you needed, just in an extremely compact footprint.

cleanliness the staff (very friendly and helpful) the location free parking space

Sehr freundliches und zuvorkommendes Personal. Relativ zentrale Lage zum Stadtzentrum.

Für einen längeren Aufenthalt ein zu kleines Zimmer, ohne Ablagemöglichkeit des Reisegepäcks.

Host, staff, location, interior decoration, breakfast, carpark

Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Das gesamte Personal war außergewöhnlich freundlich und wir haben von Russel viele Tipps bekommen die unsere Reisepläne abgerundet haben - Vielen Dank dafür! Das Frühstück war absolut fantastisch! Frisch zubereitet und unheimlich lecker.

Die Freunflichkeit des Chefs/Personals, die Lage des Hotels, das außergewöhnliche Frühstück.

Das sehr sehr kleine, eiskalte Badezimmer. Die Handtücher konnten nicht trocknen.

friendly and helpful staff

cramped room breakfast food good but coffee was truly awful price relatively expensive for the overall quality when compared to other similar places

Great stay! Friendly hosts, clean rooms, and a very good breakfast. The location is excellent, and parking is available, which was very convenient. Highly recommended!

Wir wurden sehr freundlich emofangen. Die Zimmer sind sehr schön gestaltet. Das Frühstück ist wunderbar. In der Nachbarschaft, ein paar Straßen weiter, gibt's tolle Restaurants und Pubs.

It was a beautiful little B&B that exceeded the quality offered by many big hotels. The staff were extremely polite. The location was perfect. The premises spotless. I would definitely recommend staying

LOVED this place. Lovely hosts, beautiful room. Comfortable and welcoming. Breakfast included and freshly cooked- delicious! Free parking onsite site however a bit squishy if it’s fully booked. Street parking nearby if it’s full

Location, ambience, cleanliness and friendliness of staff.

Das Frühstück war hervorragend und ein total herzliches und freundliches Personal!!

The owner was amazing. Friendly and informative

La cercanía relativa al centro de la ciudad y que contara con plaza de aparcamiento

Nuestra habitación (no la de nuestros amigos) era minúscula, con parte del aseo (el lavabo) en el propio dormitorio, que lo tenía todo aunque de modo excesivamente comprimido. En el desayuno eche en falta algunas cosas habituales,

A perfect location in Galway’s West End. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice house with very good and clean rooms, and a comfortable vibe. Wondeful breakfast!

Elli was absolutely gorgeous 😍 The breakfast was very delicious. Only 5 minutes walk to Galway city.

Everything was perfect

We were more than happy with the accommodation. Everything was superb and the host was very friendly and helpful. We had two different breakfasts and we loved both perfect !

Beautiful, artsy space with so much character and charm. Every detail felt thoughtful and creative while still being cozy and comfortable. The host was wonderful, and the whole stay felt unique and inspiring. Would definitely stay again!

Hôte accueillant et sympathique. Petit déjeuner excellent

Chambre petite

Location and Russell and team were fantastic

A bit cramped

Décor charmant. Emplacement Fonctionnel pour tout faire à pied.

Nous aurions apprécié un buffet de petits déjeuners un peu plus complet et la possibilité de se resservir en café. Un peu cher.

Absolutely awesome place. Breakfast was fantastic and very relaxing atmosphere.

Clean, close to everything and Russell was wonderful!

Breakfast homemade every morning. Art and book curation so well selected. Music selection was amazing

Thin walls. Could hear everything in the hallway.

Friendly , hands on host , well organised and wonderful breakfast. Being glutenfree was absolutely no problem.

Everything was perfect. Room was super clean. Breakfast excellent. Location is the best for exploring Galway. Ownera are super nice and kind.

Ystävällinen henkilökunta, kaunis ja kodikas miljöö, herkullinen aamiainen ja lähellä keskustaa. Iso kiitos omistajalle ja henkilökunnalle.

Suihkutila oli kylmä ja suihkun paine heikko. Ei pidetty ongelmana. Huone oli viileä, mutta peittoja oli kivasti. Ei tarvinnut palella.

Le petit déjeuner était excellent. Les chambres adorables et les communs très cosy ! Parfait pour un weekend de 4 jours.

Parce qu'on est picky mais tout était vraiment super - comme on est en Irlande, est-ce qu'on pourrait avoir accès à un séchoir à chaussure ou un sèche linge pour faire sècher plus rapidement nos vêtements.

Great hot and cold breakfast options. Friendly staff. Friendly guests. Good recommendations for sights to see. The location couldn't have been better for us. The decor of the b&b was lovely as well.

One night we had noisy guests rooming above us. Not the fault of the B&B, some guests just lack the consideration of others. No other complaints!

Great location and instructions to get in and park

All good, great stopover point

With 45+ years experience staying at B&Bs this is everything I could hope for: a friendly welcome, an introduction to local sites, a comfortable room, a great breakfast, free parking, close to the city and even closer to good local craic. There was always a record on the turntable and the collection of vinyl is to die for.

A great location host was very nice and gave great advice of the city

Mit viel Liebe eingerichtet, man fühlt sich sofort wie daheim, die Gastgeber und auch das Personal unglaublich freundlich.

Gastgeber, das Hotel und Frühstück waren unübertroffen gut!

Vi følte oss som hjemme med en gang, og ble ønsket varmt velkommen. Vi fikk gode anbefalinger om nabolaget. Det er veldig hyggelige folk, både eiere og ansatte. Vi hadde gode og fine samtaler med Russell og vi kommer gjerne tilbake. Ekstra pluss for hyggelig musikk fra platespilleren under den gode frokosten.
