Negative Reviews
negative:
Not in a good spot for Galway walking
Guests travelling without a car were unhappy to find that this B&B was a long walk away from downtown Galway or even the Salthill Promenade, and unfortunately, those who made the reasonable walk down to Salthill's beaches said that they had quite a climb ahead of themselves in order to get home.
negative:
Noise from other guests, small and dismal rooms
There can apparently be some noise experienced from other guests staying here due to creaky floorboards and apparently thin walls. Furthermore, some thought their rooms to be too cramped in size, a garage room was said to be fairly dismal overall and those in the attic rooms found the angled roof to also make things a bit difficult.
negative:
Price too high, especially without breakfast
The price of staying here was simply thought to be too high by many, partially due to the issues mentioned above. However, the fact that breakfast was not included in the price was thought to be particularly irksome considering that this is apparently a B&B.
