Wild Atlantic Stay Guest House Self-Catering, a property with a shared lounge, is situated in Galway, 22 km from St. Nicholas Collegiate Church, 23 km from National University of Galway, as well as 23 km from Eyre Square. This guest house features free private parking, a shared kitchen and free WiFi.

The property was like renting out a single room airbnb. You had access to a kitchen and living area but basically on your own. It was quiet, and clean. The host were kind but we didn’t see too much of them as we were out and about a lot. Perfect location for visiting Galway, Canamara, and Aran Islands. Also the views of the ocean and the cute walk down to the shore was a nice benefit.

7 Cross Street is in the heart of the city centre, with restaurants, shops and pubs just steps away. South Park and the beach are both a 10-minute walk away, and parking is available less than a 3-minute walk from the townhouse.

The hotel is so pretty and very charming, the staff is super friendly and helpful. It was amazing staying at the 7 Boutique Hotel so we’ll definitely come back!

    We stayed in a little guesthouse separated from the main house which was very nice and comfortable - we had our own space and privacy. There was a complimentary continental breakfast in the main house which was lovely, we were not expecting that. The house is located in a quiet and very green neighbourhood only a short walk away from Galway centre, we loved that it's away from the bustling city centre. The host was very welcoming and overall we loved the experience!

    The location, the host, the guest house in general were all wonderful. Shauna is a very attentive host who knows her city well and has lots of helpful information for guests. The guesthouse is close enough to the city center to walk everywhere but far enough away for a quiet stay. Breakfast is an incredible spread, and you can't beat being right on the ocean in Salthill.

    The breakfast was fresh, delicious, and great fuel for the day! Plenty of choices including a cereal bar, yogurts, fresh fruits, and a hot dish of your choosing. Great location, quick 10/15min walk to the center and coach station. Ciara the host is very nice. This is a family run business passed down generations. First guest house ever in Galway. Shower water pressure was great as well! Will definitely stay here again if I visit Galway.
