Dirty, Musty, Warm, and Uncomfortable
We arrived after the 2-6 PM check-in window (though we did call ahead and were told that would be okay) and it seems they were not very happy that we didn't arrive earlier. We got what felt like a pretty cold greeting. We were put out in a "guest house" in the back yard. It felt more like a shed converted into an extra place to house people. While the bathroom was in pretty good condition and seemingly recently renovated, that was really the end of what was nice about the unit. The furnishings were very well worn and dusty. The main bed was a double bed so it was pretty tight for two people. There was another bed in the unit but it was more like a cot and essentially not fit for sleeping on. The mini refrigerator had been unplugged for some time and was room temperature, musty, and dirty. The unit itself, being in the back yard and detached from the house, felt unsafe. We had a door that locked but we didn't dare leave the windows open at night (they swung out pretty wide) not knowing for sure how safe the area was. The room, though, was very musty and warm. There was no fan in the unit at all either so it was a pretty warm night of sleep. The breakfast included in the price was pretty good. There were multiple options and lots of additional things to eat while they cooked your breakfast. That being said, this is a place that I wouldn't recommend and will definitely never stay at again. The ratings this place has received seem very over-inflated based on my experience.

Most of their rooms are in the main house, but we had a room in a converted shed behind the house - being outside, it was a little less homely than you expect from a B&B, but it was warm, clean and private. A minor quibble would be that the TV had no service connected. The room was over-priced, but we did book last-minute. The proprietors were very friendly serving breakfast, and it was a solid full-irish, so nothing to fault there! I would use again.

Quaint B&B Close to Downtown
The living room area by the fireplace was very nice for our nightcap. We checked out a bit late, and they were very accommodating to us. We were still on California time and mornings were rough. The area is very quiet. We were able to park, but parking could get a bit tight depending on how many guests could be using their lot at once, but we didn't have an issue. The only downside was that the bathroom didn't have the best ventilation, and they turned the heat off throughout the night. It was warm when we got into our room so we left the windows nopen for awhile and then the room didn't heat back up, but that was our bad too! It was about a 15 min walk get get to more of the downtown part of Galway. We found a fee great bars and restaurants very easily. We only stayed for one night but wish we spent more time in the city!

The room was okay, but breakfast—especially the choral music—was just lovely. Our host was friendly and helpful. The town of Galway, however, was a traffic nightmare and the streets are poorly marked. Nice dinner at the Quays, though.

This was a last minute booking for me. I had the small separate ‘guest house’ out back. It was private and clean. Since it is on the back of the property, the view is of the cars and toools which can not be avoided. All in all, I would stay again.

Booked for a couple of nights following a wedding to give us an opportunity to see more of Galway city and the surrounding area. Took a trip out to Kinvara for the festival - absolutely fantastic. The program of cookery demonstrations and informative talks were very inspiring. An absolute bonus.

No room
Travelled 300 miles to knock on door and be told no room and placed with another b&b around the corner, no explanation as to why, no advance call to say this was happening, had to pay same price to replacement b&b which in our eyes was not worth it, wont be booking again

Poor service, rude staff and lots of problems
The room were a real disappointment and very overpriced. The food was tasteless. The hosts were very unhelpful and unfriendly. I liked Galway city itself and generally found the people friendly but staying here was a real let down. If you are paying premium money on a room you expect at least a good service. This place was 2 star at best. Look elsewhere for a getaway spot.

our first stay
our first time staying here, and it will not be our last, it`s a home away from home and it`s Marie and Peter who make it that way, nothing is to much for them to make you feel like a member of the family, this dog friendly accommodation, hits all the right buttons, it`s a few minutes walk to either Galway City, or Salthill,and shorter to the beach, and we had a chalet at the back, which was a lovely a and large building, it was clean and comfortable, and the bed was so soft, breakfast was freshly cooked, with a nice selection of cereals, and cold meat, we LOVED it so much we rebooked Inishmore house for later in the year

We were welcomed with tea and biscuits with charming hospitality and the accommodations weee cozy and comfortable. It is a quick walk to town and breakfast was delicious! This Inn will always have a special place in my heart because it is because my boyfriend proposed to me during our stay at the Cathedral of Galway! The staff was quick to congratulate us and help us celebrate. Fantastic!

Just what we needed!
I’m traveling with my mom and dad and we stayed at Inishmore our first night. Marie and her son were there to greet us and they were absolutely lovely. Kind, welcoming, helpful. The B&B is in a great location, just a short walk from town and the Bay, yet removed enough to be quiet and quaint. They offer a big breakfast selection with something for every taste. I would definitely stay here again.

Cute little B&B in Galway
We really enjoyed our stay at Inishmore House in Galway. Breakfast was excellent! The house is a little tricky to find using iPhone navigation, but within walking distance of downtown tourist area. If you have trouble with stairs be warned that they do not have an elevator. Our room was at the very top of the house (attic) and was very nice but difficult to drag our suitcases up and down the stairs.

Very comfortable accommodations and great hospitality. Marie, our hostess, greeted us warmly and offered tea and pastries on arrival, then provided advice on restaurants, music, etc. Our room was spacious and comfy. Breakfasts were fine and served promptly; location is 10-15 minute walk from town, easier to walk than take the city bus. Overall, a lovely experience!

The owner was very accommodating. She told us how to get to the main part of Galway City, what sites to see there. There were a couple stores I really wanted to see but we ended up in Galway on a Sunday, the owner called to see what time and if the stores opened on Sunday at all. She was so nice and we really appreciated her going out of her way to tell us what shops would be open late due to everyone being at mass Sunday morning. The room was suitable, the only setback was as they very top room of the house the wifi had a hard time staying connected.

This was a very homey stay. We felt quite cozy and the beds were very comfortable. The breakfast was generous. The best of all was Marie, the owner and manager. She is delightful and full of energy. I made a mistake with my booking that she smoothed over without even a pause. She was full of good information and went out of her way for all of the guests to provide a great experience.

Nice place but.....
The house is nice and the staff was friendly. I cannot comment on the food because we left before breakfast. The area is very convenient and parking was easy. The main issue we had was that although we booked a room in the house with a double bed, we were given a room in a cottage behind the house that had two twins. We would have preferred getting what we booked. Also at checkout we were told the credit card machine was out of service and we would need to pay cash. This was terribly inconvenient because I had to walk in the rain to an ATM I had to pay bank fees and miss out on points from my credit card. For this reason we will not chose this place in the future and would not recommend it to friends.

A Decent B&B
The staff was there to greet you and feel welcome, breakfast was good. I stayed there for 2 nights and it was pretty comfortable. It was a bit noisy at night sometimes and when my sheets were changed the bed wasn't very nicely made. All in all, it wasn't bad, but I've been in nicer B&Bs.

Mixed Bag
We had a mixed experience. First, we stood outside for twenty minutes because no one could hear us buzzing and knocking on the door, despite it being 3pm--standard check-in time. But then the room was very nice and the shower was powerful. So that was good. But the WiFi was awful in the room. Breakfast was great. But, despite the booking saying we could pay with a credit card, when we left we were told we had to pay with cash only. It was a short trip across the street to an atm, but it was still an inconvenience. The absolute best part of the visit was Sparky, the dog. He was a delight. So, like I said, it was a mixed experience.

Supernettes B&B
Ein sehr schönes B&B mit wirklich freundlicher Gastfamilie. Die Lage ist sehr ruhig und günstig gelegen - ca. 20 Minuten zu Fuß ins Zentrum und ca. 10 Minuten zur Strandpromenade. Busverbindungen konnten wir nicht testen, da der genannte Bus nicht gefahren ist (warum auch immer...). Die Zimmer sind für ein B&B geräumig - das Badezimmer ist eher winzig - Waschbecken war im Zimmer und nicht im Bad (wg. Platzmangel)! Aber sonst alles sehr sauber und vor allem ein wirklich sehr, sehr üppiges Breakfast!
