“Charming and comfortable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

person found this review helpful

We stayed at the Prague house for a few nights last July - and we had a lovely time! A full Irish breakfast and a clean cosy room...not to mention very welcoming and cheerful hosts! It's also very well located - just close enough for an easy walk into downtown Galway, but far enough to avoid the noise from evening festivities. We definitely recommend it!

“Loved the hospitality!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

person found this review helpful

This review is late but my husband and I stayed at Prague House during Halloween for a few nights, and Miss Marys hospitality was amazing! We got married on Inish Mor on Halloween, and even though I thought I told her she was delighted to hear the news and treated us like our Italian mom's back home with hugs/kisses and a nice glass of wine! She also was kind enough to take us to the train station and give us some advice on places to eat.

-Breakfast was made to order-very good.
-Short walk to the city center.
-Grocery store across the street-very convenient.
-The water is also close by.
-We were not bothered by noise on street, and the beds were comfortable.
-The bus to Rossaveal/island ferry picks us up right across the street- Miss Mary was kind enough to call them for us.

We will definitely be returning to Ireland, and when we go to Galway-DEFINITELY staying at Prague House again.

“Coldest night in a b&b!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 November 2011

We stayed here in November while the owners were very nice we found the room to be freezing cold. We mentioned it at breakfast the following morning and we were told that they switched the heating off at midnight. They provided us with an extra heavy duvet. We got so hot in bed we literally sweated. We found it hard to get out of bed as the room was still cold!
Breakfast was lovely but we would have preferred a comfortable room that a good breakfast!
Yes the rate was very cheap but that should have come with no compromise on the quality and comfort. We left the following morning.

I am so sorry you felt cold, we always seem to get complimented on the worm cosy house we have, we were really surprised that you were so cold, as we have thermostats on the radiators, and people tend to turn them off, some people like a cool room and other people like it warm, perhaps it was our fault that we did not check to see if the one in your room was on, we always have our heating controlled and when rooms get cool the heating comes on, if the thermostats are off of course the heating will not come on.
We apoligise to you over the cold room, and sincerely hope it will not put you off coming to Galway again, and invite you back to Prague house again and we will make sure you will not be cold.

We visited Galway mid November and stayed for 3 nights. Mary was very friendly and extremely helpful in every way. The en suite room was spotless. Car parking space was available. Breakfast was delicious with lots of choice. I would thoroughly recommend this B&B

“Terrible location”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 November 2011

I wish we had read the reviews before reserving here. This b&b is on a main busy and very noisy street. Will not return.

Sorry you found our location unsatisfactory, wish you had discussed it with me at the time of your stay,and would have tried to perhaps swith rooms, the location is five minutes walk from the centre, yes we are on a busy road, but we have double glazing, and most people do not complain of the noise, we are very dissappointed with your negative review and would be grateful if you had come to me and let your thoughts and feelings be known before you left. Thanking you for staying in our home.
