Can't say enough about how awesome this place is. It might not be some "dreamy B&B in a brilliant part of town" but believe me, it is nothing short of fantastic. The host family is better than at any place we have stayed before - most welcoming, SUPER helpful, and just great people to talk to. POSITIVES -rooms always cleaned... More

I booked this B&B based on the reviews on trip advisor and I wasn't disappointed. We stayed for two nights and the rooms were very clean and comfortable. Birdie was very hospitable and makes the most wonderful Banana Bread - I wish I had the recipe. Only a short walk from the City Centre it allowed us to park the... More

We stayed for two nights and we were very happy to have stayed here. One day, we planned to drive out to the Aran Islands. As it turned out, the Galway Ironman was on that morning, shutting down a lot of the roads. When we couldn't get around the road closures, we returned to the B&B. Right away, Bridie hopped... More

When I started booking my trip to Galway, my schedule landed right on top of the Galway Races completely by accident. I found a room at Sli Na Mara. I called and talked to Bridie and asked her why Galway was so tough to get a room and she explained to me about the event of the year in Ireland.... More

Dear rankin2010, Thank you for your positive review. I was sorry to hear that you thought the room somewhat small, we would have been happy to address this matter to the best of our ability during your stay if it was brought to our attention. Soaps and Shampoos are something we are considering adding to the facilities offered by Sli... More

Great location to discover Galway. Only 10 min walk to the city. Clean rooms, good breakfast, comfortable beds and a quiet surrounding area. 5 min to the waterside promenade. Host Bridie is a lively person who always gave us good tips for our trips. We stayed there during the Volvo Ocean Race and Bridie did some copies of the program... More

My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our 2 nights at Sli Na Mara. Located just a short, 5-10 minute walk from the heart of central Galway it offers the best of both worlds-- easy access to all the action, but a quite a safe place to come back to at the end of the day. Our room was quite small,... More

Whitestrand Park is a nice mid-town neighborhood in Salthill, so Sli Na Mara gives you a genuine experience of being a local homeboy/girl. It is indeed very conveniently-located; getting to the Spanish Arch and nearby attractions was a very easy walk. When we called Bridie on our cellphone from County Kerry, she helped us a lot with FINDING her place.... More
