Stayed two nights at Griffin lodge and were very happy to have chosen the place. Anne, the owner, is so wonderful. We were driving, and couldn't find the place (it's a little hard to find at first, but easy once you do) and she walked around until she found our car and could lead us to her B&B. And she... More

We were a group of 6, who just showed up the afternoon of March 26th looking for 3 rooms for 2 nights. We met Anne, who was wonderfully accomodating, and we hit it off with her right away. The B&B is in a great location, just minutes from all the action of Galway, but on a side street so no... More

We loved our weekend at Griffin Lodge. It is superbly located just a short walk from town. Anne, the hostess, was lovely to us and made us feel at home. Breakfast was fabulous - lots of it, and good range, including full cooked Irish breakfast, served cafe style. Good coffee too. All in all, a very professional operation - and... More

Ann was so kind, we called the day before we were to arrive in Dublin and she was able to reserve a Double Room en Suite for us. We arrived early evening with a warm hello, no fuss or rules and were back out to the city centre promptly to enjoy the night. It was nice that Griffin sits back... More

Griffin lodge has an unbeatable location - just outside Galway town centre, literally 5-10 mins walk to Shop Street. The B&B is basic, no frills kind of place, but it's good. It's clean with very simple decor. Traveling with another couple we had two double bedrooms. One was tiny but with en suite bathroom and another one was was slightly... More

Let me begin by saying that this was a quite lucky find. I wanted to book accomodation somewhere else in Galway city for NYE 2010 but unfortunately my b&b of choice was fully booked. After reading some of the reviews here in Tripadvisor I decided to give it a shot, and I couldn't be happier! The b&b is a cute... More

Ann, the host, is a wonderfully warm person who made us feel very welcomed in Galway. The rooms were on the smaller side but as clean as a 5-star hotel. Breakfast was served by Ann, herself, every morning and was delicious. We spent 2 nights there and wished we had more time to stay! We highly recommend this location to... More

We stayed recently in this 11 room b and b. Anne was a wonderful garrulous host who took us in and greeted us with tea and choccy biscuits. Lovely. One of the rooms was quite small and had limited space to open bags but the other room was a good size, with the only complaint being at the size of... More

We stayed at Griffin Lodge for 2 nights, and were very happy with the choice. The location was perfect - just across the bridge from the main shopping/restaurant street, but a quiet location. Anne was a great hostess, the rooms were clean (although on the smaller side) and the breakfast was very nice. For the location and price, this place... More
