Great location Friendly and professional service Free car parking is amazing
Breakfast looked horrendous Tasted good but everything piled on a small plate, rashers underneath the fried eggs, toast beside it dipped in egg yolk. Why not put toast in a basket and some side plates? Full breakfast and small breakfast served on the same sized plate, so full breakfast looked terrible. We eat with our eyes.. Sorry, as a chef of 40 years, still working in a 4 star kitchen, I'm critical of food presentation. Had a lovely beef Moroccan stew in the bar,very tasty,but same again, soda bread on the bowl and no side plates.

The breakfast was excellent. I ordered the eggs Benedict at 8:30am (first guests at breakfast) and it was the best I’ve ever had. The pub was busy at night but cleared out and clean in the am. Our room was TINY but for the purpose of sleeping and showering it was fine. Shower and bathroom very clean. Price was a good deal compared to staying in the city center a short walk away. We walked from the pubs to Sliding Rock around ~12am (0030) and felt safe. Waitress called us a cab in the am and it arrived immediately.
Whatever was outside the window… an apartment or pub? That can’t be helped. We stayed in #8. I liked that the windows open for fresh air.

Small cozy room at the inn, situated on top of the pub. Earplugs are highly recommended if you are a light sleeper, on certain days the events at the pub can run later in the evening. I used earplugs and had zero noise issues. Breakfast was excellent, offering a wide variety, including full and half Irish breakfast, porridge, eggs and avocado toast, etc. Staff is very friendly and accommodating.
The pub has excellent food, but is often very busy in the evening. Make sure to reserve a table on time, if you plan to have dinner there.

Being above a pub I was worried the noise would be bad late at night but it wasn’t. We could hear some noise but not what I expected. The hotel room was very clean! We had 4 staying in a room and had plenty of room to move around. The staff was very nice! The provided breakfast the next morning which we had to miss because we had to head back to Dublin airport before it was served. The staff told us about a 24 hour breakfast place a few doors down. The hotel was within walking distance to Quay Street and Latin Quarter of Galway - about 10-15 minute walk. There is a side door entrance into the hotel part so you don’t have to go through the pub coming and going. There was free parking behind the pub/hotel.
The beds weren’t very comfortable. You could feel the springs while laying on them.

Nice helpful staff, check in and check out was very straight forward. Had parking out back. Breakfast was very tasty. Room and bathroom was small but we were up for a nite out so all we wanted was somewhere to sleep so it did the job. Place was clean and beds were comfy. Location not bad, taxi cost us €10 on the way into town and €6.50 on the way home (considering traffic)
Not much I could say here other than the room is a bit small if you were planning spending some time in it, but fine for somewhere to sleep at night

Our sleeping room was clean and comfortable. It was conveniently located near the town center. We had a nice dinner with drinks in the pub during the evening and then a nice breakfast in the morning. The food was good both times.
Bathroom was tiny. I had to sit sideways on the toilet to avoid knocking my knees on the sink. After taking a shower, I moved out of the bathroom into the room with the bed to towel off as it was too cramped in the bathroom. This was a minor inconvenience considering everything else.

Lovely little B&B! Great location, everything you need on your doorstep. 15-20 minute walk to Eyre square. Stayed one night, check in was easy, and staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean and comfie, tea, coffee and water and everything else you'd expect in your room. Free parking. Exceptional Brekky included in the price 👌
Nothing much We didn't like, the room was quite small, and the bathroom was fairly compact, but as we only stayed one night this wasn't really an issue.

Very central location without being very rowdy. Very easy to walk to other things, absolutely amazing that they had parking available! Really spectacular food and drinks, friendly staff, wonderful live music, and lots of storage for a small room. Exactly as advertised.
Loud- which I don’t really think is a negative. It’s above a pub, of course it is going to be loud. If that’s not cool with you, this isn’t the right stay for you. The bathroom is exactly as shown in pictures, which is to say incredibly small. One member of our traveling party is about 6 feet tall and had trouble sitting on the toilet because his knee either hit the sink or pushed open the door. I’m 5 feet and felt pretty comfortable, but for taller guests this may not be the right fit for you.

Really lovely friendly place to stay and have a drink in. A wonderful location a short walk into town but an interesting one and if needed to as we did on occasion a short cab ride away. A lovely sunny garden was a bonus. The staff were uber friendly and helpful and the rooms were very clean and conducive to a good stay. Love staying in a pub where you can enjoy a good night cap and for us during a bit of a "heatwave" so outside day and evening!
The only thing I found was the location of the bathroom in our room. Our daughters' bathroom was better located at the foot of the bed rather than the side.

Staff location food facilities all amazing it had a lovely friendly vibe
The only thing which wasn’t actually an issue was the noise from the live music in the bar, I feared we wouldn’t be able to get over to sleep as we could clearly hear it, but my worries were short lived when I woke in the morning and realised it hadn’t actually bothered me and I had a full nights sleep, (I am a mum of 4 adults/teens I can sleep through most things) in future I will plan to stay up until the music ends, you only live once!
