Reviews of Sli Na Mara

The owners were very welcoming and gave could tips on where to eat and visit. Very central

We spent two nights at Sli Na Mara in Galway and want to thank George and Bridie for their warm hospitality. They provided us with a comfortable room with a private bathroom, making our stay very pleasant. The B&B is conveniently located just a 10-minute walk from the city center, making it easy to explore Galway. The breakfast was excellent, perfectly attended and served, with a choice of several à la carte dishes, plus coffee, juices, and more. We were celebrating our 26th wedding anniversary, and they surprised us with a balloon in our room congratulating us—such a thoughtful touch that made our stay even more special. Highly recommended!

Had the best sleep of my life at Sli Na Mara! Bridie was an excellent host and made me feel instantly at home. She prepared a delicious breakfast for me slightly earlier than allowed to make sure I had enough time to make my ferry.

20/10! Amazing place and the most wonderful host you can imagine!

What I DIDN'T like? Are you kidding???

Bridie and George were fantastic hosts. Breakfast was delicious. Rooms were comfortable, clean and had everything you might want or need. Would definitely stay again if in Galway

Nothing

Excellent Warm welcoming, kindness of the hosts, organization and logistics

Nothing, everything was really fantastic!

Loved the location - really handy to the city centre and out west to Connemara They were so good at recommending restaurants .

I was not 100% well when I arrived. Bridie was really kind and a great host. Due to my illness I was not able to fully walk around Galway the first night. I spent the majority of my time sleeping in the bed. The next morning I was feeling a bit better. Bridie was kind enough to let us stay parked at her place for a couple of hours so we could walk into town and take in the sights of Galway before we left. I appreciate her kindness and thoughtfulness.

Our stay was delightful. We ended up staying 2 nights. The room was clean & comfortable & the breakfast was delicious. The owners were very attentive & even drove us to one of the restaurants because it was raining. It is within walking distance to everything and the owner had great recommendations for restaurants & pubs.

Nothing stands out as a negative.

Wonderful hostess who really made us feel welcome in her beautiful and cozy home. The room was spacious and fresh with a private bathroom. The Irish breakfast was good and generous with many kinds of bread, cold cuts and other goodies. Quiet location about 10 minutes walk from the city. We would love to come back here! / Maria and Stefan from Sweden

The only negative was that we would have liked two beds instead of one

Location - in a quiet residential area but in short walking distance to restaurants, pubs and shops. Good night sleep with an open window. Lovely breakfast room. Parking.

Triple room rather smallish, not enough space to unpack bags. Narrow staircase, challenging, when you have bulky luggage. Private bathroom across the corridor. Watch out for water temperature changes when showering. No cotton linen.

Excellent location in a quiet neighborhood, convenient to downtown Galway & the shoreline. The room I stayed in was very clean & had nice natural light. Great breakfast in a lovely dining/sitting room with a variety of hot & cold foods available. George & Bridie are attentive, friendly, & informative hosts. They also let guests leave cars parked a while longer after check-out -- a nice bonus to be able to explore a little more without having to navigate to public parking. Would stay again.

The bathroom is rather small (but is tidy & makes good use of the limited space).

Staff were very friendly and welcoming, room and ensuite were spotless warm and comfortable and breakfast was delicious

Nothing to say here only compliments to our hosts

Loved our experience! Bridie was super helpful with suggestions of places to eat, hear live music, etc. Very comfortable accommodation and close to everything! We liked being close to things but it was outside the mix so it was quiet-was about 10 minutes walk to Quay street.

Nothing. Was lovely.

Our stay with Bridie was nothing short of exceptional. She was the most friendly, offering us tons of advice and local tips and tricks to make our stay that much better. Her breakfast was phenomenal, the location is excellent, and the parking was easy. Will be returning in a heartbeat!

Friendly host and in a great position to either walk into the Latin Quarter for dinner and down to the sea front at lunchtime

The shower did not work properly. The pressure of the water kept popping it off the upright ‘handle’ and the tap for hot/cold did not respond so it was stuck on scalding hot- so no showers for us! We told the host who was most apologetic - but that was of no help to us!

The owners were very friendly and helpful.

The bath tub was slippery.

This a well-designed and well-established B and B in a comfortable neighborhood just outside central Galway. The host family was fantastic and welcoming, and Galway was a cute, well appointed town spread along the estuary. Directions to the property were well-communicated and accurate. We loved the stay and would happily have spent more than one night both in Galway generally and at Sli Na Mara. Breakfast was also wonderful and every interaction with our hosts was a delight. We rested well, and I don't think there is any single more important quality to any accommodation.

This is less an opportunity for improvement than a 'didn't like', but the property is definitely 'well-loved.' No points deducted, but it could use some refreshing to really heighten the stay. Again, nothing wrong, and it hasn't reached what I would call 'tired,' but the property - which is really well designed, BTW - seems to have seen better days.

Perfect stay with Bridie..great location. will definitely use again when I'm in Galway

N/A

I had a wonderful stay at this lovely bed and breakfast just a 10-minute walk from the heart of Galway. The location is perfect—close enough to enjoy the city’s vibrant atmosphere, but in a quieter area that’s ideal for relaxing. The owners were incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout my stay. They clearly take pride in their home and go out of their way to make guests feel comfortable. We were there for one morning and we enjoyed the breakfast - it was fresh and delicious with several options. The rooms were cozy, clean, and comfortable—just what I needed after a day of exploring. I highly recommend this B&B for anyone looking for a friendly, well-located place to stay in Galway.
