I had initially booked one night, but ended up staying three as it was such great value for money. This home is older but well kept, and has a very cosy, homey feeling. I would definitely recommend and stay here again - inclusions were great - tea and coffee, modern TV, very comfy bed, and reliable internet. Carmel and Ann... More

We stayed at this very friendly, welcoming B&B while we toured Inishmore, Connemara and saw the local "Trad on the Prom" show at the hotel. I found Carmel, the hostess to be very friendly and helpful. She worried about us getting to Rossaveal in time for the ferry to the Aran Islands, but we made it fine. She supplied us... More

My wife and I stayed here last week. We really enjoyed Galway City and this house was a short walk to the city centre. The hosts were very friendly and helped us with directions to town. The room was clean and normal sized for the B&Bs we stayed at in Ireland. Only two minor complaints. We were in the front... More

If you're there to stay in Galway and see nothing else in Ireland, I'm not sure even then I could recommend this place. My friend and I were making a trip around Ireland in April and trying to see as much as we could with what time we had. This was our next stop after visiting the Ring of Kerry,... More

I found Galway to b my least favorite of all cities I've visited and I've traveled everywhere except for northern Ireland. It's very dirty and lacking that Irish charm we all seek on vacation. Seems to be more of a college town. When we drove up to this B&B I didn't want to stop, but we already had reservations. The... More

We were only in Galway for one night, but we wish we could have stayed longer. The city was great and Roncalli House was great. No issues with water pressure, hot water, or the rooms. Breakfast was delicious and staff were very nice and good at their jobs. If I am ever able to make it back to Ireland I... More

This house is in the perfect location. City Centre is 10 minutes walk east and the bay is right across the street making access to the walk along the bay as easy as could be. Carmel, the hostess, was delightful and charming. We got to Galway super early (like 10am) and they allowed us to check in immediately. Breakfast was... More

Roncalli House is located close to Galway Bay (we had a glimpse of the bay from our room) and is convenient to local restaurants. We received a warm, friendly greeting from the hosts. Very good breakfast. Our room and bath were small, but certainly adequate. We were somewhat bothered by noise due to the location beside a busy road and... More

This B&B has a very good location, it is close to the city centre, we walked for about 15mins and arrived at the spanish arc. The staff was helpful and always interested in making our stay a pleasant one. Probably the only "minus" is that the room we stayed in #1... was a bit noisy both from outside cars as... More
