“Great B&B in Galway”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 May 2011

My wife and I stayed at the Abacus House B&B in May 2011 for just the one night. We had a very spacious and confortable room, immaculately clean with all the necessary requirements. The cooked breakfast was very good and the hosts very welcoming and informative. A couple of big hotels with restaurants are close by which offer bvery good dining as well as some other stand alone restaurants. Free off street parking is provided as well as free wifi. About a 10 minute drive into central Galway. Can't go wrong with this B&B.

Room Tip: Just ask.

person found this review helpful

Stayed here twice now once last year in august & again in april this year. Both times were great with lovely rooms & well kept. Breakfast on both mornings were great & good selection. Anything we had questions on breege & noel was able to answer for us. Both times stayed was for friends birthdays which were special occasions & this b+b defintly guaranteed this. Only 5mins away from city centre with buses travelling in & out every 15mins only minute walk from b+b to bus stop. Willl be looking to return again sometime next year. Genuine lovely people.

“A pleasant surprise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 March 2011

We had difficulty finding accommodations in Galway and this was not necessarily our first choice being a little disance from the city centre. We were therefore not really expecting much and were very pleasantly surprised. While one of our rooms was a little small, the other was very large and pleasant. The B&B was accesible and a short cab or bus ride downtown. The breakfast room was pleasant, the meal good and the owners good hosts.

“Very nice people, very clean rooms, very comfortable beds. A+”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2011

While driving cross-country throughout Ireland this past holiday season, my wife and I stayed in many different hotels. I had always heard that to truly see Ireland, you must stay in a Bed and Breakfast, meet the locals, and eat their food. We stumbled upon the Abacus Bed and Breakfast while driving through Galway, and this place was absolutely perfect. The staff was extremely friendly, and even called the local pubs to see if there was traditional music being performed anywhere. (They recommended An Pucan, which was a great little pub, too). The breakfast was good in the morning, too. Next time we are in Galway (which I wish would be sooner than later!) we will look them up again.

“Huge room, amazing service!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 December 2010

I definitely recommend. Everything was perfect. From the free Internet, free parking, amazing breakfast and courteous staff, we couldn't have asked for more.
