    The location, the host, the guest house in general were all wonderful. Shauna is a very attentive host who knows her city well and has lots of helpful information for guests. The guesthouse is close enough to the city center to walk everywhere but far enough away for a quiet stay. Breakfast is an incredible spread, and you can't beat being right on the ocean in Salthill.

    The breakfast was fresh, delicious, and great fuel for the day! Plenty of choices including a cereal bar, yogurts, fresh fruits, and a hot dish of your choosing. Great location, quick 10/15min walk to the center and coach station. Ciara the host is very nice. This is a family run business passed down generations. First guest house ever in Galway. Shower water pressure was great as well! Will definitely stay here again if I visit Galway.

    Great host, very personable. Absolutely gorgeous decor. Very clean room, comfortable bed, great shower. 5-10 min walk to Salthill 10-15 min walk to Galway city center. Bar area is quaint & again decorated to a very high standard, unfortunately it was closed due to restrictions. Parking is on street so might be hit & miss
