close proximity to Galway downtown yet in Residential neighborhood FOOD WAS BEYOND WONDERFUL

Sarah United States of America

The breakfast was exceptional and I really enjoyed the variety on offer. The room was really comfortable and had everything we needed. The location was really convenient as it was a walking distance away from the city centre and tourist attractions.

Camira Ireland

Quiet location within walking distance to town centre.

Quinn Canada

The location is perfect for strolls around Galway, only 10 minutes to the Latin Quarter along canals. the staff is very friendly and breakfast is delicious.

Godelieve United States of America

Everything was very good and we would return for sure!

Catalin Romania

easy check in and out process. rooms were comfortable.

John United States of America

Breakfast was included. It was a continental breakfast but also included an optional full Irish breakfast. It was very tasty. Also, the owner had wonderful suggestions for dinner and local entertainment. And the room was exceptionally clean and tidy. Additionally, it was just a couple blocks from the main entertainment but, even though we had a street facing room on a Friday night, we never had issues with sound.

Zoe United States of America

Everything was clean and nice! The hosts were really amazing and welcoming.

Amira United Kingdom

Location, staff, parking, room, just everything was so nice

Lukas Switzerland

Very comfortable, great location, great staff. An absolute delight.
