My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the hotel is conveniently located close to the Railway and Coach Stations, making it easy to access the city center. However, the room size was a bit small, and there was no kettle in the bedroom.

Staying at this B&B was a mixed experience. The rooms were quiet, comfortable, and spacious, but facing the street meant dealing with some traffic noise. The staff was wonderful, offering great local tips and always being friendly and helpful. The location was excellent, a short walk from the lively downtown area, although being in a very quiet spot. The dining was average, not standing out compared to other places visited. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

I had a pleasant stay at the Ardawn House overall. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and perfectly decorated, although slightly smaller than other places we stayed during our visit to Ireland. The Tea & Coffee facilities were nice and accommodated our group of four well. The view overlooking the Greyhound racing track was a unique touch without any noise disturbance. Breda and Mike, who run the B&B, were kind, thoughtful, and made our stay feel like a dream. The location was excellent, just a short walk from the center of town, making it convenient to explore Galway without being amidst the bustling hostels and pubs. The dining experience was okay, but nothing extraordinary compared to other B&Bs we visited. The made-to-order breakfasts were a nice touch each morning. The facilities provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
