I'm not usually a B & B kind of guy. Petra House could change that. Location 5 minutes from the downtown, nearby a stadium, which can be noisy if there is a match on. Breakfast sensational -- just you even try to get a small portion. Rooms more than adequate and very comfortable. Best of all, Frank -- our new... More

Immaculately presented B and B. the room was clean with a tv and the breakfast was excellent. The menu had a wide choice and all of it was fresh and delicious. The location was an easy walk to the city and the owners couldn't have been more helpful.

Frank was a lovely and quite obliging host. His knowledge of where to go to get washing done (remember to take the flyer with you to get the best price), where to find restaurants and what route to take north was very useful. The Sky road was an excellent suggestion, which I am glad we took up. Best breakfast hands... More

Top notch B & B, attractively decorated room, superior bed and bedding, guest relations by owners superb, easy location for walking in Galway. The breakfast was wonderful in the light and lovely decor of their breakfast room. Frank and Joan know how to run a B & B that pays attention to detail (like Irish bone china in the coffee... More

This is a great location -- short walk to restaurants, pubs and bus/train. They serve several delicious breakfast options. Friendly and helpful host/owner. Clean and comfy rooms. Would stay here again!

I can easily see why Rick Steves rates this his preferred B&B in beautiful Galway. There is nothing like having on site owners and Frank and Joan have a very beautiful and charming home. The decor has been thoughtfully selected and the furnishings and colors are traditional, elegant Irish-- and in top condition. The house is only 22 years old... More

We were two couples traveling through Ireland and spent two nights at Petra House while in Galway. We had a wonderful time! It was, hands down, the best breakfast we had of any place we stayed. They have a full menu (many selections besides the irish breakfast) and a great plate of fresh fruit. Frank and Joan are very friendly,... More

A REALLY hard act to follow!! I do not have enough room to express how wonderful our experience was at Petra House! Immaculate, beautiful, convenient, delicious, helpful, gracious, generous...only a short walk from town! It truly is the perfect B&B experience! We would return there without a doubt!! We needed postcard stamps...there they were. We needed to schedule a bus... More

What a fantastic surprise to find a B&B of such an excellent standard. The attention to detail is evident everywhere you look. We have been traveling throughout the UK for nearly a year and staying at B&B's throughout even managing a 12 room 5 star luxury B&B ourselves for some months so can be fairly critical when it comes to...

Warm welcome, and warm room even though the temp only reached 4 degs. (March 2013) whilst we was there. Very handy to Galway, only 3 min walk. Great selection for breakfast incl. Salmon and of course the full Irish breakfast. Room was large, clean & quiet even though it was at the front of the house. I have recommended this... More
