“Cosy place in a cosy city”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 April 2013

We were greeted warmly, friendly, and with much trust; we were even given a map, instructions to get to town, information on pubs with live music, and other places to see. We could drop off our luggage earlier and come get it later, without... More

“Excellent place to stay, just off downtown”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2013

My partner and I stayed here for one night in January and we really liked it - charming old building, clean, a very easy walk to downtown (10 mins through a very safe area), and an amazing breakfast included. Bonus - we booked the cheapest room the day off, and were upgraded to a lovely 2 room suite with a... More

We stayed 3 night in Dun Aoibhinn House and all in all had a great experience. We were told there wouldn't be no breakfast, wrong. There IS a breakfast, and really good one. Our room was cozy (I especially liked the wooden floor and the shape of the windows). Jim was very friendly and helpful. One more thing: the location... More

Stayed for 3 nights in downstairs room. Room was clean and good size although slight smell of cigarettes. Great location for exploring the city. Jim and staff were very friendly and provide a good breakfast. Would stay again if we were visiting Galway.
