    homemade breakfast

    Couple's getaway just right

    Teresa ensured we had everything we required and more! Had this breakfast that was HUGE! Hot options were all cooked perfectly and the fresh homemade bread was to die for. Really made our mornings special.

    It was a bit pricey but, you know what, totally worth it.

    The location was great and incredible so close to the centre of town, you may take train on Galway train station within 15 minutes walk from here.

    Had cold breakfast, it might be better.

    great breakfast but limited space for relaxation

    The staff were kind, we felt welcomed throughout our stay. Breakfast featured an excellent spread full of fresh fruits and homemade treats, made mornings good. The quiet atmosphere allowed for a restful sleep.

    Common areas felt a bit cramped, limiting space to unwind comfortably.

    We really enjoyed the room, it was very pretty and tidy with a double and single bed. The location was super, not very far from a public park.

    water pressure

    great location near city center, high standards of cleanliness, hassle-free parking options

    Water pressure in showers could use improvement!!! Small room sizes may not suit everyone!!! Steep stairs to second floor can be a nuisance for those with luggage!!! Limited guest lounge space leaves little room for relaxation!!!

    abundant breakfast
    spacious room
    peaceful location
    challenging stairs
    hard bed

    I stayed for two nights with my family and we had a great time! The breakfast was something special, with a wide selection that included fresh baked bread and pancakes. Our room was spacious with three beds, which was perfect for us. Although the location was a bit away from the main attractions, we found it to be peaceful and just a short taxi ride to everything we wanted to experience in Galway.

    great location
    diverse breakfast
    limited common area

    We had a fantastic group vacation! The location was perfect for exploring the city, including attending the Galway Theatre Festival and visiting local shops. The breakfast was diverse, and the balcony offered a comfy spot to relax after a busy day. Highly recommended for friends traveling together!

    We faced some inconvenience with the limited space in common areas, tough for our group to gather comfortably.

    A Fairly Pleasant Stay with Room for Improvement

    The breakfast spread had a good variety, but the bed left much to be desired. We asked for the heat to be turned on since it was colder than expected. Interactions with staff were generally pleasant, but staff could work on privacy respect when checking out.

    delicious breakfast
    friendly hostess
    far location
    parking issues
    water pressure

    The breakfast offerings were excellent, with an array of fresh fruits and homemade breads. The hostess ensured we had everything we needed, including great hospitality throughout our stay. The location was a bit far from major attractions, requiring taxis for convenience, and the parking situation wasn't optimal during busy times. The room's water pressure could use some improvement, which affected the shower experience.

    great location
    small room

    The breakfasts were a good buffet with a great variety (loved the fresh baked breads!), and the staff greeted us warmly, providing helpful insights on local attractions. A quick walk got us right into the city center.

    The room was a bit small for our taste, and the shower pressure could have been better.
