The owners are always available, smilling nice and helpful. The full Irish Breackfast served in the morning is generous and delicious. To finish, I want to thanks a million the owners to make our...

We had a lovely night and fabulous Irish breakfast at Abacus B&B. Location was really good for us and the room lovely and large. Brid the owner couldn't have been more charming and helpful and even rang us to make sure we had a set of keys as she was due out for the evening. Breakfast was lovely and especially... More

We spent a very nice night at Abacus Guest House in January 2013. The room was warm, comfortable and very roomy. Our hostess was very helpful with directions to the City Centre and restaurant suggestions and breakfast was delicious. My husband is still talking about the warm and soft blankets. We would certainly stay here again on our next trip.

Best breakfast we've had thus far in Ireland. Breege is very welcoming and genuine making you feel right at home. Our room was spacious and modern. We took the bus (short block away) downtown to the square, super easy. I would recommend staying here to anyone in Galway, it was perfect for us!

We really enjoyed our two-night stay at Abacus, and would have loved to stay longer, had our plans allowed. Breege, her husband and family were wonderful hosts- friendly, helpful, and including thoughtful considerations for our eldery parents. There is no substitute for the recommendations of locals-- such as restaurants, pubs, or suggested routes to explore the Connemara region. The decor... More

Abacus was very clean and comfortable. The owner was very helpful with travel tips and advice. Breakfast was great. We would come back for sure. Galway is a great town, and a good base for many day trips in the surrounding area.

Four of us stayed 3 days with "Breege" in her guest house, and found her welcoming, personable, ready with a laugh, and full of local lore and suggestions for our stay. Since we were unfamiliar with the area, it was just what we needed. It was also a challenge finding Abacus, but once there, we found the rooms large, comfortable,... More
