Nice house, caring staff.

There was mistake with the days of my trip but Almara House was very efficient and she solved the problem sending us to another hotel with similar facilities. She drove us to the new hotel and she was in contact with us to know if eveything was ok.

While our stay was OK, the cost for B & B was disproportionate to others we stayed at. Rooms were clean but very small, parking was very limited. Location was away from downtown and not very covenient.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The hostess was pleasant and this property seems to be busy/full due to the location near Galway. The room is very small and you have to carry your suit cases up the stairs to the second floor. Bathroom is small but OK, with a shower. Parking is first come first served. Very tight if you come late in the evening. Breakfast was included and the parking was free.

Didn't see when booking that this is a B&B. Found out after arriving thats what it was. There is limited parking here, so if there isn't a spot in front of the house (4 total) then you have to park in the drive under the tree. The entry and exit is desigened to direct you a certain direction so it makes you take wider turns which was a little hazardous. The bed was nice but took up most of the room. So if you need a lot of space for luggage you wont have it. The bathroom is big enough for 1 person with a small stand up shower. If you have used one before its not a big deal, but could be difficult for a foreigner. The staircase is very narrow, so again, if you have a lot of luggage its hard to go up and down and kind of hazardous. Breakfast was good, Marie is very nice.

A gorgeous retreat in Galway

What an absolute treasure our host was. We had the most gorgeous loft bedroom and wished we could have stayed longer!!! Very well appointed, spotless and super comfortable. Delicious breakfast - we felt spoilt. Great value and perfect for exploring Galway, particularly if you have a car. Would love to return and highly recommend to all!
