I stayed in Desota house just for one night in January and it was lovely! When I booked it I thought it would be just another B&B with old furniture and cheap price. But just when I arrived I realised how modern and well equipped it was. It seems like it has been refubished recently. Everything is kept great conditions.... More

As previous reviews have said, the location of the hotel is great, not a bad walk to the centre, the rooms are clean and of a decent size, the breakfast is fine, and the staff are friendly enough (although not Irish which was a slight disappointment). But it is fairly bland, and has the feeling of a travelodge not a... More

The house was located only a 5-10 min walk away from the central pedestrian streets. We had very comfortable rooms, modern house and furnishings, cool antique sewing tables, and the breakfast in the morning was great. The walk around the quiet neighborhood to city center was nice, with parking behind the house. More

Location of this B&B was perfect for my needs as I had to have an early morning operation at University College Hospital which is about 2 minutes walking distance, staff were friendly and rooms were clean with en-suite Satellite TV and free Internet access, a snip at only 45 Euro... More

Desota House is a great B&B, situated a very short walk from the centre of Galway. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with a flat-screen television in each. There are also tea and coffee making facilities in the room and some toiletries are provided in the bathroom, which is also clean and modern. There are a number of choices for... More

Clean room, good hot shower, comfortable bed and multichannel TV. Staff very pleasant and helpful and a there's choice at breakfast, ranging from cereals to cooked and vegetarian. Seemed to be ample on-site parking which is essential in this area near the hospital and university where business premises threaten clamping if you overstay. Light sleepers might find it a bit...

I paid 60 euro for one night here, including breakfast, in a single room. Arrival was smooth and friendly and I was directed to my room. On entering, I was expecting a small room, but not a dirty one! The dust on the doors and windowsill was thick. The bathroom was clean enough, but the towels were old and shabby.... More

I have no trouble in recommending the Desota. Good location for access to the City Centre, Private car-parking around the back. Very friendly and helpful staff - and a lovely cooked breakfast. All in all, pretty relaxing to be honest. More

Great for walking to city center shopping, pubs, and restaurants. Staff were very friendly and did their best given limitations of facilities. Other rooms may be more spacious but it was a struggle to even find enough space to live out of two suitcases at once. Recommend different rates be charged for such a small room. More

This B&B is within easy walking distance of the city, bars, and restaurants (even a hospital). And, it's a really nice walk. Not through any sketchy areas or anything. It is also right on a busy street. The overall feel of the place is nice, however we weren't overly impressed with the proprietors. They are not nearly as welcoming as... More
