Within a 5 minutes' walk to Galway's medieval city centre, Adare Guesthouse offers free WiFi access and free on-site parking. The National University of Ireland, Galway Sports Pavilion, is 3.1 km away and Gateway Retail Park is 3.7 km away.

I can only recommend Adare Guesthouse! The interior made you feel right at home, everything was very clean and good smelling, the beds are comfortable and on top of that the Family that owns Adare are very kind and friendly, offer you advice (and a piece of chocolate). If you are on foot you are in the city center and at the beach in under 10 minutes and other bus stops are also easy reachable.

Wild Atlantic Stay Guest House Self-Catering, a property with a shared lounge, is situated in Galway, 22 km from St. Nicholas Collegiate Church, 23 km from National University of Galway, as well as 23 km from Eyre Square. This guest house features free private parking, a shared kitchen and free WiFi.

The property was like renting out a single room airbnb. You had access to a kitchen and living area but basically on your own. It was quiet, and clean. The host were kind but we didn’t see too much of them as we were out and about a lot. Perfect location for visiting Galway, Canamara, and Aran Islands. Also the views of the ocean and the cute walk down to the shore was a nice benefit.

This recently renovated apartment is located 6.3 km from Eyre Square and 6.4 km from Galway Railway Station. The property is non-smoking and is set 6.8 km from National University of Galway.

The property is amazing! The owners have thought of every single detail from decorations to comforts and necessities. Even left a lovely welcome basket on the kitchen table. The place was spotless. It has everything you could possibly want if staying for a few days. A nice little kitchen with all your basic cooking needs, washer and dryer. I would highly recommend.

    10 mn walk uphill from Central station. Not located directly in the city centre but easily walkable in 10-15 mns. Room was very clean and loveley, enough space for luggage (even a closet). Hostess couldn`t have been nicer. Breakfast was incredible, freshly cooked, be it porridge or full irish. Fresh fruits, self cooked cakes, bread, cheese.

    The hostess Ann was very friendly although she's only an employee. We could park the car next to the house for free. The room was clean, the choice of breakfast quite large. The house was quiet even if the 10+ bedrooms were all booked; Father Griffin Place is very quiet, and you can walk to the old city centre of Galway in only a few minutes.

    Mari was a great host, very friendly and helpful. The property is in an ideal location. There's a bus stop right outside, and the bus journey only takes 10 minutes to get into the city centre. Breakfast was very nice with plenty of options to choose from.
