Ardawn House

My friend and I stayed here for 9 days and loved it. We arrived early and were offered coffee by the manager Van Dennis. He saw that our room was prepared ASAP and also served us breakfast while we waited. Our room was a good size and the beds were very comfortable. The water pressure wasn’t great but that’s the only negative I can say about our stay. The choices for breakfast were wonderful and the server Valentina was friendly and provided great service. It’s an easy 5-10 minute walk to Eyre Square and the city center. Our room faced the street but I didn’t find it to be too noisy. There is some traffic noise but it lessened a lot after 9 pm. They provided earplugs just in case you want them. The staff could not be more welcoming and professional. I highly recommend this B&B.

The location is great, very close to downtown Galway. Everyone is nice and friendly! Definitely will stay again if we come back to Galway!!

This is such a nice B&B in Galway. The rooms are beautiful, and the chocolates on the bed are a nice touch. The rooms are up a flight or two of stairs (which might be an issue for some very mobility challenged), but the hosts will help you with your bags. The breakfast was wonderful (I've attached a picture), and you can choose from a wide variety of delicious dishes. Our host, Dennis (Cavallo) was very friendly and was very happy to share his experiences living in Galway (his colleague, whose name I unfortunately I don't remember, was also very friendly and greeted us on arrived when we arrived quite late from Belfast). Parking is in the front of the accommodation (I've attached a picture) Highly recommended,

Great experience. Room was very nice! The only down side was a super small shower. The breakfast was delicious!!! Great manager as well. Located close enough to the city to walk. Parking available

Good location, 10-15 walk to center of city. Good sized room. Excellent breakfast. Very welcoming staff and manager Denis.||Being picky, the bedroom toilet door was very sticky and the road noise (room at the front) was very noticeable. The property decor was a little dated.

The room & bathroom were spotless, & as promised in the listing, it was easy to do a load of laundry in the laundry room off the kitchen. As for the kitchen, this B & B not only has a friendly & efficient manager, but an actual chef who makes each guest's breakfast to order from a small yet well-chosen menu. The omelettes & fresh breads with butter & preserves were delicious, and the manager serves speciality coffees as guests sit down at tables in the attractive breakfast room. It's an easy 12-15 minute walk uphill from the Irish Rail station or bus station. Our room faced east toward College Road but was very quiet at night & caught first light in the morning. It's a very pleasant, welcoming, & well-managed guesthouse.

Best Guest house I have stayed in. Very comfortable bedrooms with bottles of water &. toiletries supplied and the best breakfast with lots of choice also coffee you can help yourself to throughout the day. Close to Eye Square Highly recommend and will definitely be back

The house is just a ten minute walk from the city centre. We received a fabulous welcome on arrival and were shown straight to our room even though we arrived before check in time. The room was spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean. The welcome, facilities and level of service would not be out of place in a five star hotel. Wonderful!

Enjoy Galway but bypass this B&B. The exterior of the place looks charming but don't get taken like we did. After checking in the host was more concerned about her personal activities than her guest. We had to make ourselves familiar with the B&B and even show ourselves to our room. Once in the room we were very disappointed but we were left on our own. There were no available electrical outlets if you needed one, the heater didn't work, and talk about the mismatched bathroom towels. Good luck in taking a shower if you could find enough water pressure and watch out you don't get burnt or frozen by the faulty controls. Made our trip to town, very close, and had a great time. Returned to our room that evening with no one else around but another couple who had checked in after us. Had a very restless sleep from the traffic noise coming from the main road fronting the complex all night long emitting throught the thin walls of the building. An exterior light coming from dog race track nextdoor didn't help either. When the host was informed the next morning about our situation she made it sound like is was our fault we didn't tell her we were light sleepers. She also related she had never had this complaint before but she was wrong. The wife of the other couple who also stayed that night told me of her having the same problem and internet reviews also mentioned this and other problems. This ruin our whole day as we were too tired to enjoy the rest of the city or sites. Decided to leave instead of spending our second night even though the host offered to relocate us to a room in the back. She also said she would not refund our second night charge if she couldn't find someone else to rent our room. Chose to spend the day driving to our next location and rest at our next stop. This way we could be refreshed to enjoyed the following day. I should have checked the on-line reviews about this place instead of solely believing the suggestions from those travel books. BOY, did they get this one wrong! Save your money, frustrations and enjoy yourself by passing this B&B and going elsewhere. There are many around this area. This place is overpriced for what they offer and don't have. And guess what, we found another place for half the price and offered a lot more with staff who were on the property and were available.
