Clean room, lots of stairs and no air conditioning if you are there in summer something to think about! Parking free and available behind the building. The convenience of the restaurants was the best part. We had breakfast included and it was amazing at the old barracks restaurant. There is also a great pizza restaurant below the rooms which is fairly fancy. Not open Mondays though. Would stay again.

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!

We were traveling with another couple. Location was not what we expected and parking was difficult when we first arrived. Had to check in at restaurant across the street. The staff was very nice and one of them took us to our rooms. I understand this was an old barracks but we did not expect this. We had to climb 3 flights of narrow stairs with luggage to 2 small rooms in the attic. The rooms were clean and each had a small bathroom. We were originally going to stay 2 nights but our tour the following day was cancelled due to weather. We wanted to move on so cancelled our next night. We were told they would reimburse cost of one room but they have not. We booked 10 months ago so they should have put us in better rooms. It worked out better for us to leave early. It is not a bad place but I would not go back.

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.

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.

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.
