Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The location is pretty good, close to a great seafood restaurant and within walking distance of the city center. The building is a bit old school, but good. Parking is easy, you park in the front yard.
There was a leak in the ceiling in the bathroom when it rained, despite being on the ground floor.
Fantastic location- great to explore the city Accommodation was fine Beds were comfortable Good for the night
Breakfast wasn’t included. It didn’t meet our expectations.
The room was on ground floor with one window for ventilation… there wasn’t any grill or bars for safety. No air condition or fans. The room was decent size but felt humid and there was a musty smell . We didn’t stay there at all. The hallway stank of wet and humid odours. Had to look for alternative accommodation in the Galway city centre. As we didn’t have any option for safety or hygiene - in a rush to get out of there we didn’t get a chance to take any picture. We left . Unfortunately Lost all the money …
location was good. all facilities in room worked. room was compact but comfortable very easy check in & good communication with James the owner.
as a single traveller i thought the room was a little over priced
Het toeristische centrum van Galway. Niet de locatie.
Oud pand met een kleine kamer vol oud meubilair. Een onhygiense badkamer met een douchekop waaruit nauwelijks warm water kwam. Veel te dure prijs [178 euro) voor 2 nachten. De locatie ligt ook te ver van het centrum(circa 20 minuten lopen)
Room was clean & comfortable, didn't include breakfast (we were on the road again early). Is within easy walking distance of the city centre. The host was very courteous & chatty.
Bed wasn't to my liking, but was fine otherwise
Prêt du centre ville
Lit pas confortable et petit frigo qui beaucoup de bruit la nuit, obligé de le débrancher à un moment je croyais que quelqu'un faisait des travaux avec un marteau
The location was perfect,10 mins from the centre. The bed was comfortable.Fridge in the room which was handy. The owner was friendly and helpful.
The room was tiny. I was given a room with a single bed ,I would describe it as a box room. It was not dirty but was very shabby. Duvet cover looked like it had been washed many many times. The whole house was shabby. There was a fridge in the room which was great but not so good in the middle of the night,the noise was keeping me awake. Eventually I just got up and unplugged it. There were a few men in the next room and the first night the snoring was bad ,was fine the second night . So the walls are pretty thin. Went and got myself some ear plugs the second day. All in all not good value for money.
Ideal if your just looking for a bed. Parking.
Posizione e camera ampia. L' host cordiale.
Rumore esterno del riscaldamento, parquet rumoroso e sconnesso . Mancanza piano di appoggio in bagno. Il prezzo richiesto non è proporzionato ai servizi offerti.
La localisation, le parking et le sourire de la logeuse o depart
Accueil froid et distant a l arrivee, prix tres eleve , b&b sans petit dej Pour 20 euros de plus , on logeait o 4 etoiles avec petit dej Douche qui ne fonctionne pas , soit froide, soit brulante .... B&b a fuir !
Nice old building
To far out of the way,
Great location to explore Galway, clean and tidy, very good value for money.
A 900m du coeur de ville.
La femme d'entretien était aimable et à l'écoute
Le manque d'amabilité du gérant. Il devait me donner une facture, je ne l'ai jamais eue. Il a traîné pour me donner le mot de passe de la Wifi car il n'est pratiquement jamais là. La fenêtre de chambre ne pouvait pas s'ouvrir. Il y régnait une odeur d'humidité assez importante. Le lavabo de salle de bain était tout petit et très bas. La bouilloire ne pouvait s'arrêter sans qu'on la débranche.
Petite chambre modeste mais qui avait tout ce dont j'avais besoin. J'ai apprécié la bouilloire et le café, et le petit frigo. La femme de ménage était aimable et réactive et m'a apporté à ma demande un duvet supplémentaire pour mettre sur le matelas que je trouvais trop dur.
La localisation est parfaite et calme, mais les voisins des autres chambres, pas toujours. Leur demander peut-être de ne pas parler fort et de ne pas claquer leur porte après 23h ?
La zona tranquila, 10 m caminando al centro, fácil de encontrar La habitación tiene nevera, TV y tetera para calentar, más te y chocolate, un buen detalle…
El cuarto muy chico, los muebles muy antiguos y grandes para el tamaño del cuarto. El baño muy chico
La ubicación, zona tranquila a 10 min del centro
El alojamiento está algo abamdonado y dejado de la mano de dios,.
It was clean, bed was comfortable
Location and parking were excellent. Walked to Salthill beach and to Galway city center. The room is small and basic but it had everything we needed. the bed was extremely comfortable.
Bien situé pour visiter Galway. Parking gratuit.
Salle de douche présentant de la moisissure au plafond, joints moisis, lavabo dans la chambre et non dans la salle d'eau. Deux bureaux dans la chambre mais une chaise. Accueil en moins de 2 minutes, la clé fonctionne difficilement dans la serrure de la chambre (signalé par l'hôte lui-même)

Parcheggio e posizione
Stanza molto datata
Very quiet 🤫
Great late check out
The owner/manager was so friendly and so helpful, we had the quadruple room and it was massive - two separate bedrooms which was so handy! Comfy beds and parking right outside!
L' emplacement et 'e parking. La sympathie de l' accueil et les conseils
Good location with parking and within easy reach of the centre.

The 3 used durexs outside the bedroom window I told the man he said I don't know how they got there.. I did not like the shower which you had to hold to shower needs a good clean and paint work the quilt had staines on it I didn't even get in the bed I have photo if you would like it
The dog was very sweet and greeted us from the rear window
Location is excellent. Only a 10-15 min walk to Eyre Square & everything accessible by foot. Easy to locate & good size car park
Window was broken so it had to stay wedged open, but this was fine as weather was hot when I stayed & bathroom could do with silicone around the corners & in the shower.
Great location
Liked the proximity to the city (easy walking distance) and the charming host. Might have went for pints with him if we didn’t have plans! The room was basic but clean and warm. Bathroom and shower good.
It is very old property. Not upgraded..
Bathroom was so crumpy that one had to be very careful when using it. No proper wardrobe.
Location was convenient. Rooms were fine.
The facilities are aging (windows not opening, or held open with a cup). It would have been very helpful to have some kind of common space, to relax a little, wait for rides, etc.
Super Lage zur Innenstadt und freundlicher Gastgeber
Die Einrichtung ist ein wenig in die Jahre gekommen
Great Location! So convenient to everything
Clean and quiet.
Off street parking, walking distance to the city
The bathroom was very run down, cracked tiles and fittings were lose or missing, only window to the outside on street level had minimal security
No breakfast
Location , parking and the host was really friendly and helpful
Very nice
Convenient, nice host. Made me feel at home.

Nothing Special about this place
The Room had a Moth Problem & the socket beside the bed was "Sparking" if you plugged anything into it and the check in time is way too late in the day.
I've stayed here a few times. Comfortable bed, good shower, quiet and great location
The location was very convenient for walking into town for shopping, pubs, etc. I liked having my own bathroom in my room. I liked that I could open my window for some air. My bed was clean and comfortable.
There is no shared space - no room for gathering with your friends. My private room was very, very cramped with old, unattractive furniture and a small, noisy refrigerator. My room was clean, but the hallways were dirty with old dirty carpets on the floor. The facility is conveniently located, but I wouldn’t recommend it to friends or stay here again myself. It needs an upgrade because it’s currently very dreary and tired.
great location
Host gentile perché è venuto incontro a una mia esigenza. Parcheggio comodo. Vicinanza al centro
Purtroppo il bagno è completamente da ristrutturare: si presenta molto datato, con evidenti segni di usura del tempo e presenza di ruggine. Anche la camera non era pulita e necessiterebbe di una ristrutturazione generale per migliorare comfort e condizioni della struttura
Walkable to the city Center .
Die Unterkunft war ruhig gelegen und doch noch vergleichsweise zentral, indem das extrem quirlige Zentrum von Galway fußläufig in etwa einer Viertelstunde erreichbar war.
Dass kein Frühstück angeboten wurde, fand ich für ein B & B ungewöhnlich und etwas störend. Das Zimmer war ordentlich ausgestattet, aber selbst für ein Einzelzimmer sehr klein. Den Preis empfand ich für eine reine Übernachtung als etwas zu hoch.
Jim was friendly and helpful. Location is a moderate walk from the city center. Convenient if you enjoy a nice walk as I do.
Basic accommodations, but in accordance with the rate :)
die lage war sehr nah an galway und es gab ein parkplatz
es hat sehr unangenehm gerochen und war extrem dreckig. das fenster hatte einen riss, in der dusche war schimmel. ausserdem war das warmwasseraufbereiter in der dusche nicht richtig befestigt und überall im Zimmer waren spinnweben und allgemein war es sehr dreckig.
Der Parkplatz direkt vorm Haus, der kurze Fußweg in die Stadt.Das persönliche Gespräch war sehr nett
die Kommunikation im Vorfeld war etwas holprig,
Very pleasant stay in Galway. The room was comfortable and had its own shower and a small fridge, which was very convenient. The accommodation was clean and the owner was very kind and helpful throughout my stay. I appreciated the little touches, such as the bottled water and the regular change of towels. Communication was easy and the check-in/check-out arrangements were very flexible. Overall, a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I would happily stay here again.
L'emplacement a 800 mètres du centre ville. Le parking privé gratuit. Le frigo.
L'odeur dans les escaliers certainement venant de la moquette. Moisissures dans la douche (joints et tapis antidérapant). Peu d'entretien en général.
La ubicación y la amabilidad del anfitrión
Podría esta un poco más limpio
