    The pillows were too hard and lumpy. Larger, softer towels would have been a treat.

    It was done beautifully. We were welcomed upon arrival and the morning staff were very friendly. The food was delicious. Very clean property.

    We liked everything about our stay. Russel and his staff were friendly, helpful, and attentive. They always had time to chat and pass on local information and favorites. Breakfasts were superb and the afternoon cookies were delicious. Location was the best. We got to explore the west end more than we had in our past visits.

    This is very very minor but I wasn't a fan of the mint hand wash / showergel in the rooms. It was a bizarre texture and quite drying on the hands.

    The breakfast selection was excellent, when I asked for something slightly different as I'm vegetarian they happily adapted the menu for me. When you get in at night they request that you note down what you would like for breakfast the next morning, even when there was a slight misunderstanding on the first night they were happy to still make us something and it arrived quickly. Considering this is all included in the price of the room, I think it's good value for money.

    Where to start. We loved everything down to the smallest detail at The Stop. Everybody was incredibly attentive and kind from the minute we walked in to the moment we closed the door behind us when we left. The place itself was clean and beautifully put together. And the breakfast, wow. We had the shakshuka the first morning and the scrambled eggs and bacon the second. Definitely recommend both — especially the shakshuka. The flavours were delicious and the attention to detail in the presentation was great. We also LOVED the home baked cookies left every evening, and the freshly squeezed orange juice every morning. Russels and everyone also had lots of great recommendations for places to go close by and markets or events on any particular day. The location is also ideal, walking distance to the city centre. We couldn’t fault The Stop at all even if we wanted to. It was warm, cosy and homey with a fantastic attention to detail throughout. And we honestly can’t wait to come back!! Thanks to everyone at The Stop for making our stay in Galway one to remember!

    Room was great but a little small and could have used a light over the mirror to get ready.

    We loved the location! We walked to all the sites from here. There were many restaurants and pubs within 10 minutes. Russell was an excellent host giving us many restaurant and pub recommendations that were great. The breakfast offered was varied and excellent! Great coffee!!

    While we appreciated the free onsite parking, it would have been helpful to receive instructions prior to our arrival on how to find it (or perhaps just advance notice to call upon arrival for directions.)

    Great location within easy walking distance to the city center, delicious breakfast, and helpful staff.

    The Stop is probably the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in. I got a personal tour the moment I stepped in, and the staff continued to be personable and helpful throughout my stay. Breakfast was incredible, the room clean, quiet, and comfortable, the furnishings unique, and the simple comfort of having tea and cookies to come back to at the end of the night was such a joy. The owners put care into every inch of the property and guest experience. I’d fly back to Ireland just to stay here again (and I’m only mostly joking).
