One of our favorite stays in Ireland. Great value, large room, absolutely pristine clean, comfortable beds, extra pillows, kettle, coffee and tea in the room. And the location is spectacular. We booked for 2 nights but wish we had made it 3. Walking distance to Spanish District, famous pubs, nice restaurants, shopping, Salthill. And the proprietors were a delight...welcoming and ready to provide local information. They even went out of their way to find a bag of ice and deliver to our room when I experienced a small injury while out sightseeing.

Loved it all

The location was great as you are a short walk to the bus station and main square. The breakfast was delicious and affordable, the staff is very kind and helpful. The laundry service is very convenient and was a fast turnaround. If you are doing a day tour with Lally tours, the bus will pick you up right out front. Overall, it’s a great spot.

Be aware, the room and bathroom are small. Our room was a little warm especially after taking a shower so we opened the windows to let in fresh air. However, our room faced the road so the trade off was hearing traffic especially in the morning. I’d recommend bringing earplugs.

Our experience at St. Jude's was excellent. The owners were attentive, kind, helpful, flexible, welcoming. The parking was a huge bonus for us traveling by car. We were early but our room was ready and we dropped our bags, had a cup of tea, and set out to enjoy the city. We had great information about sites and dining options. Breakfast was plentiful, delicious and healthy. The rooms are simple and basic. Definitely no frills, but comfortable and clean with everything we needed. The location was terrific with an easy walk to the center of the city with its shopping and sites. We highly recommend St' Jude's.

Nothing. There are many students from the local high school who come in at lunch time. If you are bothered by the "noise" of kids having lunch together, you might be bothered. We were not. The kids were polite and respectful of us older folks sharing their dining room.

Location, value and great service combine to make this modern but cosy B&B a superb choice for anyone wanting to see Galway. We stayed just before Christmas 2024 and walked to the Xmas markets in no time. Our hosts were super friendly and couldn’t do enough for us really. The room was great, the shower excellent and having good complimentary coffee available all day was handy. You can’t go wrong and we would definitely stay here next time we’re in town. Thanks for a great stay!

Very friendly hosts and lovely breakfast. We stayed in the St. Gerard house and everything was nice and quiet. The property was convenient to the bus station which we used to leave Galway. We also liked that it was a few blocks away from the business of the city center. Everything was within walking distance without being in the middle of things during a busy summer season.

Our room had a twin and a double bed in it that were close together. This seems to be the norm. We spent very little time in our room so it didn't matter much.

The charming hosts, brothers Sean and Donal, are friendly and considerate of any of your needs. The beds were comfy, the showers were as hot as you like, and the downtown was an easy walk from the premises. The breakfast spread they put out each morning was delicious, and more than enough. On our last day they were kind enough to let us leave our considerable baggage, which nearly filled up their back hallway, while we strolled the streets of Galway one last time. My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this B&B, and would return again in a heartbeat.

Some may find the rooms a little snug, but we managed just fine.

Great location, walking distance (5-10 min stroll) from the high street, Eyre Square, and the bus depot. Super friendly staff, excellent full irish breakfast. VERY impressed with the shower, wonderful water pressure - and you don't normally think about that, which goes to show how good it must be to be noticable. Feels like you're at a spa.

Room was a little warm, particularly at night, even with the window open. Not at all a problem, just noticable. Might be nice to have a fan or something.

Best place we stayed in on our Ireland trip! Uncomplicated check in (in case they're not there, you call and they'll be there in 10min), friendly owner, free parking in front of the building (on which they allowed us to park our car for free for a few extra hours after check out - thank you!) walking distance to literally all you want to visit in Galway. The room was exceptionally clean, It has a a cosy bed, USB charging outlets, good temperature, clean bathroom, a toilet that is more efficient than any other toilet we have seen on the entire island. :-) Highly recommended. We did not buy/try the breakfast as there are tons of good cafés not far awatry either.

Bed was comfortable, The breakfast was quite good and plentiful. Nice to have the laundry service available. Hosts were friendly. Location was relatively close to pubs and restaurants and a short walk to the tour bus pickup location.

Room was much more basic and smaller than what we expected. Bathroom was tiny and cramped. Room was warm and stuffy, had to crack open the window to let cool air in. A bit of a walk to the Latin Quarter.

Room was very bright and breezy - facing a lot of greenery. Very quiet and great for reading. The location of the lodge is pretty good - 5 minutes to the square and a 3 minute walk to the coach terminal. Shower works great - amazing pressure and hot water runs through all the time.

They need a proper shampoo in the bathroom - they have a body wash and shampoo in one which is a little outdated. Breakfast isn’t very good, the eggs are watery, it’s a small room and very crowded and the owners operate it. As people are finishing they are cleaning up and you just feel like you’re rushed and it isn’t a very peaceful experience as I believe breakfasts should be. The TV in the room is very small - definitely need to update that! If you don’t wake up and leave the room early for housekeeping to do their job - it can’t be done in the afternoon. I slept in one day and this happened.
