We arrived in Galway late at night needing a place to stay and found this B&B...but it was not a pleasant stay. The beds were very old & uncomfortable, pillows were so worn & flat that we needed 4 of them to prop up enough to see the TV, the entire house smelled of old, musty smoke as there was... More

Shabby. Rooms with different flowery patterns on everything! Its a bombardment of bad taste! Dirty Dated bathroom and shower. Breakfast is first come first served! If you are not first down you get no fruit, juice to drink or pancakes. No question as to what you want for breakfast. You get fried eggs (cooked hard) and that's it! Staff are... More

Very pleasant B&B within 10 minutes walking distance to downtown Galway. Teresa is an excellent hostess and provides a wonderful breakfast.

Our assigned room was large and faced a noisy street. The bath was small, no place to put toiletries. Property need some care and updating.

The room was nice enough and very clean. The bathroom was tiny but it wasn't a problem for us. The... More

Breakfasts were prepared as requested, more than ample in size, served hot, and were delicious. There were only two negatives about Balcony House we experienced. The view out the... More

Balcony House in Galway is near to the city centre, and right next to the racecourse if Greyhound/Horse racing is your thing! The proprieter and staff are welcoming and friendly, and this sets the tone from arrival. The rooms are clean, spacious, comfortable and well furnished, I stayed in a triple room with friends. The breakfast was very good, a... More

City centre is about 10 minutes walk and parking is available on site so it was convenient to walk into this cute touristy town. Pubs are plentiful but closer to the river there are nicer restaurants. The centre is alive with tourists during the day and a brisk trade is done by all the souvenier shops, jewellers and other businesses.... More
