    Let’s just say it was a very old and noisy house. Floors creaked, doors slammed, and the road and pedestrian traffic was loud. The room had no windows we could leave open - safety brackets so we could let air in would have been appreciated. It was a small room.

    Host was very friendly and helpful. We appreciated the on site parking a lot. Easy walk into town.

    The room was a bit small, works for just sleeping. I stayed in a room for 1 person, the other rooms might be bigger.

    The location was great, close to the city center, I walked everywhere. Also pretty quite, because not exactly at the city center, next to the bars, just the perfect spot. The house was really clean. Bonus is there is Netflix on TV, helps you to fight against jet lag. Rory is really friendly and a always makes sure you are happy.

    Not really anything to complain about.

    Overall it was a nice stay. We had the quadruple room with four single beds and ensuite bathroom. With two adults and two teenagers, it was fine for a couple nights. The continental breakfast was adequate with all the basic wants like coffee, tea, juice, toast, yogurt, cereal etc. The owner was very helpful and accomodating, even letting us use a fan for the room. The location offers free parking and it is about a 12 minute walk to the downtown area.

    The room smelled a little bit musty, though I didn’t see any signs of damp anywhere. It’s also summer so it was a bit warm in the house, maybe that leads to that

    10 minute walk from Galway city centre, beds were comfortable, en-suite bathroom, everything very clean, hosts very friendly and helpful, breakfast was good, included hard boiled eggs, pancakes and continental food.

    Parking is a bit tight since you have to back in and tho we booked a “king” bed it was not a North American king, more like a double bed. Probably a misunderstanding on my part but still not what I expected.

    So close to everything, walking distance to the core but quite at night. Staff were very kind and the breakfast was nice.

    Room was a bit small for the price not much room when you get out of bed plus bathroom located outside the door with just a toilet and wash hand basin no shower but price is probably the cheapest in Galway for a single room at the moment

    Location was really good only a few mins walk from eyre square breakfast was very good a great choice for a continental and woman serving that area was a lovely person
