What Guests Say About Their Stay

This aging guesthouse is over a lively pub that doubles as the breakfast room in the morning. There's parking on the street out front and a small private lot out back. Rooms are compact but everything works. Small shower but plenty of hot water and a very clean bathroom. Wi-Fi worked great. Delicious hot breakfast too. And the best part was the hotel's proximity to the West End's Sea Road, where trad music pubs such as the Crane and Áras Na NGael, and restaurants such as Massimo and Mona Lisa, are a short walk away. Further on is the Dominick Street scene, and the bustle of the city centre is beyond that over the bridge. The Quays is like the Doctor's Tardis: looks small from the outside but huge enough for 800 people inside. The Skeff is nice too. In between them, lots of shopping, but watch out: all the shops close promptly at 6.

Expect to carry your luggage up narrow stairs. Typical Irish accommodations with no air or fans, so if you are there during a heat wave, expect to sweat.

Room was small and shabby bathroom had a very musty smell and shower was disgusting. Didn't really use bar a bit noisy first might but not really an issue for us. Short walk to salthill but definitely not to city centre and we would walk lots so would recommend bus.

Nice clean cisy room in a nice comfortable welcoming hotel in a quite part of a very busy city . Only 10 minutes walk to city centre and 5 minutes to the beach .
Room was warm and all expected facilities were provided(tea, coffee, towels, shampoos and shower gel) room was serviced to how we found it on arrival on our second day.
The breakfast was very nice and they also offer a variety of options for breakfast .
Have stayed at wards before and will again

This is a B&B. Not a hotel. Deceptive information about that matter you can find better quality B&B. For the same price in Galway city center.

I was attending a party in the area so didn't spend too much time in the room. It was small and clean but the heat was stifling, I tried to turn it off but left the window open all night for some air. Hotel is dated but the price reflects this.

Extremely friendly service. Very small rooms, but clean. Being a solo traveler, all I needed was a bed and a working hot shower. The bar downstairs was fun and friendly with locals catching the latest rugby match. 10-15 minute walk to city centre. Excellent location and value on a somewhat residential street (the street was loaded with B&Bs, a long row of them.)

Having fond memories of the busy bar in the 1980/90's,I was familiar with this friendly family-run hotel.It's location is perfect,as its a stones throw from the city centre and Salthill "nite-life".Also my classic sports car was safely locked up in the secure private hotel car -park,which is outside the back-door entrance.Great breakfast, and,at 95eus for two weekend nights,its unbeatable for good value!

Tired run down hotel. Our small uncomfortable room was a 3rd floor walk-up. .Dance around under broken showerhead to try to get wet. Stairs so steep and narrow it was difficult to get luggage up.Hotel is part of and above a bar. At 3 am on first night apparently a bar patron tried to light up a cig in bathroom, and set off the FIRE ALARM for the entire building. Did get a "sorry about that" from the manager after we made our way down to the first floor.
Advertised free WiFi. Did not tell you that it wasn't available in the rooms. Very small carpark. 3 or maybe (?) 4 cars max. Good breakfast, but no other food available.
Stay again?.....Maybe if there were no other rooms available in Galway, but even then might consider Oranamore.
