“If you can - book elsewhere!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2011

Shabby. Rooms with different flowery patterns on everything! Its a bombardment of bad taste! Dirty Dated bathroom and shower. Breakfast is first come first served! If you are not first down you get no fruit, juice to drink or pancakes. No question as to what you want for breakfast. You get fried eggs (cooked hard) and that's it! Staff are not there. I would never recommend this B+B except for the location.

“Comfortable rooms with great breakfast.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2011 via mobile

Very pleasant B&B within 10 minutes walking distance to downtown Galway. Teresa is an excellent hostess and provides a wonderful breakfast.

“Sweet owner, dated property”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 September 2011

Our assigned room was large and faced a noisy street. The bath was small, no place to put toiletries.
Property need some care and updating.

“Pleasent stay, good location.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2011

We were given the room on the ground floor. A room upstairs may have had a little more privacy as the door leads out into the reception area and the large bay window allows for passers by to see in. The room was nice enough and very clean. The bathroom was tiny but it wasn't a problem for us. The shower head could do with a clean or change as it was spraying all over the place. Parking was a little dodgy, you may need someone to guide you in/out but that seems to be the case with most B&B's on College Street. The location is great, only a few minutes into Eyre Square and Shop Street. Teresa, the proprietor was nice and helpful. She provides a large, lovely breakfast and won't let you go hungry. I thought €50 pps was a little steep as others in the area were offering for cheaper, however they were all booked out.

Room Tip: If possible go for a room upstairs as the room on the gound floor lacks a little privacy.

“Overpriced”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 July 2011

We had to stay in this place as we arrived into Galway about 2pm and there was nothing else available on a Saturday afternoon anywhere in the city. This was the most expensive place we stayed at in all of our 2 weeks in Ireland and it was the worst place we stayed. The lady who ran the house was very sweet and the location was nice because it was a short walk from downtown. However the bed was horrible, water not hot in the shower and you could barely move in it, and the breakfast was awful.
