    The staff was excellent. Everyone was exceptionally helpful and friendly. The location was convenient to everywhere we wished to visit. We absolutely want to come back here again. We enjoyed the breakfast- it was a great start to our day and we looked forward to it each morning.

    Galway is a lovely region of Ireland to visit

    Our room was facing the road, so it was quite noisy when the traffic started going in the morning. It would be great to have a queen size bed. The shower could also be bigger. Having said as much, none of these stopped us from enjoying our stay, but they are just a few things that could be considered if/when you are doing major improvements.

    Breakfast was great. Service was great. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Very convenient location for walking into town. Would book the same place again.

    Noise from heavy traffic on road. Was like living beside M8 motorway in Glasgow. Surely you can upgrade double glazing to front rooms to help. Road property is on is extremely run down - not the best of areas.

    It was close to amenities.

    Desota B&B was a perfect place to stay at if you are visiting Galway! It was a 5 minute walk to the main city center which had an amazing atmosphere. The staff were welcoming and extremely friendly. on top of that, the breakfast was so yummy! It was so nice to be able to wake up, get ready, head downstairs for a good breakfast. They had a huge variety of things to eat along with hot coffee and tea!! Felt like home which was great since we are from the States. Whenever we return to Galway, Desota will be first on my list to stay at :)

    Some light came in through the window, better curtains/blinds would have been ideal. Not a huge problem but we did notice the morning light and outdoor lights at night.

    Location was amazing and the parking was great. Easily walk into Galway city centre along a lovely canal. Despite being so close to town, the area is nice and residential, so no late night noise or partying. We had a great, spacious room, clean, everything worked, lots of hot water and good water pressure. Staff are all incredibly friendly and helpful, really lovely people. Breakfast was plentiful and good, lots of options and cooked fresh.

    Staff at breakfast seemed very young and didn’t have any hospitality skills( similar for whoever communicates through the app). I would expect better from a b and b(eg never asked where are you from, how did you sleep?) It’s nice to have breakfast included and continental buffet was good but the hot food is clearly microwaved.

    Free parking, great location(5 minutes walk from the west end) and traditional pub only 30 seconds away.
