Great stay and excellent breakfast. Park behind the guest house and check-in at the restaurant across the street. Everyone I had contact with was friendly and helpful. If you want a different take on pizza, go to the pizza place on the corner, adjacent to the guest house -- very yummy!

Very clean, updated hotel with comfortable beds and bathroom. Inn was located over their pub/restaurant which was not a problem. In fact, the pub served excellent food including a delicious fresh salad and wood-fired pizza. We had to check out too early to enjoy what looked like a top notched breakfast, so the kind manager compensated us with reduced price for dinner. Very nice experience.

The staff couldn’t do enough. Room was pristine. I was running late for breakfast and they managed to get me a takeout coffee and sandwich. Couldn’t ask for more. I’ll be back. Also it’s great to have off street parking.

Excellent customer service, all staff very attentive, helpful and friendly. They include a full breakfast each day the room is reserved. They offer free parking in two lots so you won't have to pay for street parking. The restaurant serves fresh and amazing food that is served quite quickly. Many places to eat /drink nearby, town is easy walk to historic sites.

This is an excellent location, about 15-20 minutes outside of Galway. The room was clean, included two twins and was comfortable. We were on the top floor which was up two flights of stairs, only annoying when bringing the luggage in. There was parking for about 6-8 vehicles in the back, we didn't have trouble finding a space but the lot was full each morning. Breakfast started at 8:30am which wasn't an issue for us but was later than we expected. You order off the menu at the restaurant and it was really good. Highly recommend purchasing some pastries - they were delicious. The pizza restaurant below is also amazing so great location for a meal. We would recommend this location.
