    The host was so helpful and amazing. As a first time solo traveler it was great to have a local to check in with and get recommendations etc. The location was wonderful. Walking distance to everything but on a quiet street. I got to know my way around quickly.

    This place is a complete gem. I was welcomed warmly and helped with my questions about where to eat and places to visit. Ann is such a kind and considerate host, and went above and beyond to help with queries and requests. The full Irish breakfasts were superb. Excellent location for exploring the city by foot and also for getting out and exploring Connemara by car. I will hopefully stay again.

    I don't think it's the fault of the B&B itself at all - it was the best value I could find and exceeded expectations - but I'm genuinely shocked by the prices for accommodation in Galway in general. A four star hotel in Gothenburg, Sweden just last week cost me half the cost of a B&B in Ireland :/

    A very unassuming wee B&B that will pleasantly surprise you. While the room was maybe a wee bit dated decor-wise, it was comfortable, spotlessly clean, and the shower had great water pressure. The two main things that make this place stand out are the staff and the breakfast - Anne was so lovely, welcomed me, and went out of her way to accommodate my special requests. The breakfast was top notch - yoghurt, cereal, fresh fruit and cooked breakfasts, with different options. I went for the full Irish the first morning, and scrambled eggs the next. All delicious and freshly made - Anne even bakes the lovely brown bread you get on a Saturday herself! The dining room is also very cute, with the tables perfectly set. A proper B&B, the way it should be!

    The bathroom was tiny but well cared for. Stairs are narrow and a bit steep, but can be navigated.

    It was a good walking distance to Latin quarter but far enough away to be quiet to rest. Anne’s pancakes were amazing and she was a wonderful host. She made us feel at home and like she truly cared about us as people.
