“Great service, far from Galway city center (40 min walk), not the cleanest”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 September 2010

person found this review helpful

There is no doubt that Celine was maybe one of the nicest hostess we have had a chance to encounter in Ireland, unfortunately we had what I hope could have been an isolated mishap.... My sister and I (both over 25) were having with our parents a family trip through Ireland like the old times and booked at the Marian Lodge a room with 2 double beds. The location is undoubtedly far from Galway city center (especially if you don't have a car...) but we wanted to be in Salthill to enjoy the nearby show at the Salthill Hotel called "Trad on the Prom"- worth your while!! The mishap was that we found out too late in the day that there were only 2 towels in the bathroom (one of them smelled dirty) so either they were missing to begin with or were, as Celine explained, "taken" by other fellow guests.... don't know why they would need to take our towels?!? Aside from our late night ordeal and sense of uncleanliness from the dirty towel, we had a good time and recommend the place, all in all, for singles, couples or families with cars or willingness to walk a bit into town.

“Great rooms, lovely hostess and a location with plenty of charm.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2010

Staying at Marian Lodge was a great decision. The rooms were exceptionally cozy, spacious and comfortable. Celine was a gem of a hostess, serving a wonderful breakfast and providing plenty of charm and good conversation. She was able to give us great advice regarding what to see in Galway and she directly sold us Aran Island ferry tickets, which was very convenient as well. If we hadn’t stayed at Marian Lodge, we would have likely missed Salt Hill (and O’Connors - one of the best pubs we found in Western Ireland). Being on the edge of town was surprisingly great and the walk along the prom was a charming part of the Galway/Salt Hill experience. If we went back to Galway, we wouldn’t hesitate before choosing Marian Lodge again.

“Enjoyable and Memorable Holiday, stayed at this guesthouse”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 July 2010

Myself and three friends recently spent three nights in Marian Lodge Guesthouse. On arrival we were met with a warm welcome from Mrs. Molloy who offered us tea and biscuits. Our accommodation was excellent with en-suite facilities. The following morning an appetising breakfast was served with homemade bread and choice of cereals, plus the Full Irish Breakfast! Mrs. Molloy was a great hostess, providing us with informaton on tours and local places of interest. We would highly recommend a stay at Marian Lodge. - Mary and Friends, from Dublin

“Wonderful hostess, beautiful room.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2010

Celine, the hostess was great. We booked online and would recommend this guesthouse to anybody. Celine cooks an excellent breakfast. She booked our trip to Cliffs of Moher, and even took us to the bus station on our last day. She took care of us like we were family.
