    Our room was small with slanted ceilings in the main room and the bathroom. This made it a challenge for me to get around at 183 centimeters tall. PLEASE NOTE THIS WAS NOT THE FAULT OF THE STOP!!! When we return to Galway again we would love to stay here again but will look into a larger room.

    Excellent location in close proximity to both the city center and the promenade. Excellent breakfast and cozy living room. We had late tea at night in the breakfast room which always had nice music in the background along with candlelight. Always fresh cookies available, too. The breakfast was very tasty with several options along with freshly squeezed orange juice, marmalade/jam, yogurt, etc. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The innkeeper, Russell, made us feel right at home. When we first arrived he showed us all the facilities, showed us how to get to many places in the area and also made a number of helpful restaurant recommendations. Russell was always there to help. He's a very friendly chap who runs a great inn.

    Nothing.

    It reflected the host's interests and style which added to the experience. Near city centre. Hot breakfast food was freshly cooked, scrambled eggs best ever.

    Russell and everyone we met were incredibly nice and helpful. I messed up and didn't book enough nights, but Russell found me a place to stay without hesitation. He went above and beyond!! The location was ideal as it was a quick walk to both the West End (much quieter) and the Promendade, but still quiet. We went to the West End each night for dinner/drinks and it was busy, but not overly so. We were able to get into the Crane as well, a great old pub that has live music. Go early and get a seat upstairs to listen to the pick up sessions. It was standing room only after it starts! Try the chips at Vinny's take out- they hit the spot! The weather was gorgeous so we walked along the Prom and also out to Mutton Island. It's a waste water facility at the end, but the walk it wonderful just the same. We had no issues walking to the docks to catch the ferry to Inishmore and walking to and from the train station was about 15-20 minutes. Plenty of busses and cabs if you prefer.

    The pillows were too hard and lumpy. Larger, softer towels would have been a treat.

    It was done beautifully. We were welcomed upon arrival and the morning staff were very friendly. The food was delicious. Very clean property.

    We liked everything about our stay. Russel and his staff were friendly, helpful, and attentive. They always had time to chat and pass on local information and favorites. Breakfasts were superb and the afternoon cookies were delicious. Location was the best. We got to explore the west end more than we had in our past visits.

    This is very very minor but I wasn't a fan of the mint hand wash / showergel in the rooms. It was a bizarre texture and quite drying on the hands.

    The breakfast selection was excellent, when I asked for something slightly different as I'm vegetarian they happily adapted the menu for me. When you get in at night they request that you note down what you would like for breakfast the next morning, even when there was a slight misunderstanding on the first night they were happy to still make us something and it arrived quickly. Considering this is all included in the price of the room, I think it's good value for money.

    Where to start. We loved everything down to the smallest detail at The Stop. Everybody was incredibly attentive and kind from the minute we walked in to the moment we closed the door behind us when we left. The place itself was clean and beautifully put together. And the breakfast, wow. We had the shakshuka the first morning and the scrambled eggs and bacon the second. Definitely recommend both — especially the shakshuka. The flavours were delicious and the attention to detail in the presentation was great. We also LOVED the home baked cookies left every evening, and the freshly squeezed orange juice every morning. Russels and everyone also had lots of great recommendations for places to go close by and markets or events on any particular day. The location is also ideal, walking distance to the city centre. We couldn’t fault The Stop at all even if we wanted to. It was warm, cosy and homey with a fantastic attention to detail throughout. And we honestly can’t wait to come back!! Thanks to everyone at The Stop for making our stay in Galway one to remember!
