    I know this place doesn’t falsely advertise having WiFi. But people don't even look if the place have wifi because it's a basic requirement for any traveller. Also don't think it's close to Galway city, it's about 1.4 kilometers from the city center.

    Quite neighborhood

    The bathroom external to the bedroom was freezing the window was broken.

    The location, the bed and the price. The room was spotless and very comfortable. The coffee shop down stairs was fab and the staff were so helpful.

    The only thing was there was no kettle or tea or coffee.

    Nice room with electric blinds with good bathroom and shower facilities. This place has electronic locks that give access to the room and premises. I had to book this place quickly as I was visiting someone in the hospital late at night. I was able to book quickly and easily. You check in online with a few details.

    it was exactly as I expected. the single room is quite small but fine for an overnight day.

    it is quite basic but perfect for my needs, as only in Galway as a drop off between Kerry and Donegal got in at 11pm and was gone at 7.30 the next morning

    Only downside was we were awoken at 9.30am by other guests banging on the outside door as their door code wouldn't allow them back in. I had to get up and go downstairs and open door for them .

    It was very clean. Comfortable bed.. Lovely bathroom, great shower.. the location was very good.. Gaining entry to room was by a code , which was both text and emailed to me in advance of our stay and everything went smoothly with it.

    It’s a great basic room if you want the convenience of the university or hospital nearby.

    The bed wasn’t great but the room was warm so I rectified the situation by sleeping on top of the duvet cover which made the bed more comfortable then used the throw as a light blanket.

    I enjoyed my two day stay here. It’s a nice location and convenient to busses, University of Galway and the hospital. It’s a 15/20 minute walk to Eyre Square. There is also a bus opposite Mocha Beans. The cafe was nice and I had a nice bowl of soup while waiting for the 2:00pm checkin and a nice cup of tea when I left. The accommodation is a basic box room. There is a cupboard where you can store clothes and there’s a carafe of water and a glass in the cupboard. There’s no window but there is a skylight where you can adjust the blind depending on your light preference. The bathroom was clean and the shower worked well. I had a problem with the door lock but it was fixed quickly after a phone call.

    As it was listed on the website as having parking (one of our criteria for picking accommodation) we arrived in our van expecting there to be spaces available to guests of the B&B, but when we arrived we found the small car park full with cafe customers which meant we had drive around looking for other parking nearby. We called and the man said it was first come first served for parking so we ended up waiting until the evening to park the van outside.Added a wee bit of stress. I am aware now that spaces are limited so I think if the parking situation was mentioned on the website that would be ideal. Otherwise, no complaints!

    Accessing the room was simple and hassle free, and the room itself was very comfy. We especially liked the luxurious bed and good shower. We also had coffee and porridge in the cafe and found it very satisfying.

    tea/coffee kettle. You have your own bathroom but not ensuite and -that´s a problem- you have no key for the bathroom. Everybody could use it.

    It is a 20 min walk to the city centre or you have the possibility to take a bus (10 min drive). Easy check in per email and code. Ok for its money.

    Automatic door closers on the bathroom and bedroom doors are set to be far too stiff and are very hard to open, these can be easily slackened off. Shower waste is slow and doesn't drain fast enough and after 1 minute in the shower, you have to turn shower off to let the water drain away before it spills out over the shower tray and onto the floor.

    Nice little room with newly fitted bathroom opposite corridor. Good communication from the host re door codes and access etc. Free parking. Very quiet.

    That even thou parking was free, during the day you couldn't get a park if you left as the cafe was busy. Maybe convert the area where the bins are to parking for guests.

    The location was great

    - Cold water for shower because someone turned off the heat (we solved calling the host, the day after the same) - Private bathroom not ensuite - not enough toilet paper but the store room wasn't accessible because of the missing handle - very little space in the room

    - Located at 20 minutes walking from city center - Bar under the accomodation for a quick coffee in the morning - Good price - Private and comfortable bathroom

    Room was very small. Barely room for bags and to move around. We tried to be very quiet going in and out of the bathroom (not connected to room) but the doors are very loud closing. Felt sorry for the others next to us.

    Room was clean. Bathroom was clean. Location was a good walakble distance to main restaurants and bars etc. It's not advertised but you also get a discount on coffee at the Cafe. We didn't know this. A good little bonus. The ladies at the cafe were very friendly.

    I know it is a coffee bar but still a kettle in the room would be nice so you can make a cup of tea in the evening when the shop is closed. The room was quite warm when we arrived. Only 1 window could open. But we solved it by opening both doors (room and bathroom) and open both windows to have some wind pass through.

    The granola bowl was the best I ever had in my life. Fresh warm granola with greek yoghurt topped off with raspbery jam. Pure heaven! We also liked the shower/bathroom. And overall nice and clean room.
