Well I stayed here on and off through my travels in Ireland. I would say I was here for almost 2 weeks. Yes, it smells like diesel but that is the top floor, the other floors are fine. It is not as pronounced as most people stay unless your in the hallways. The rooms are fine. The owners act on... More

Dated Rooms are very basic. Remote control doesn't work on the 20yr old tv. Constant noise outside means you can't get a sleep.Double Beds are like concrete and would barely fit a large man. Shower is hit and miss for hot water. The staff are nice enough.This place is perfect if your on a drinking session but do not stay... More

Breakfast is good but too much for me in the morning time. O loved the pub and the music nights, especially the open mic and... More

Returned on my first night and was told that I wasnt staying there (having already checked in earlier that day), had to argue with an arrogant staff member for around 20 mins before I persuaded him to ring the member...

I stayed with my partner in Garverys at the end October and it was really because there was little else available at a reasonable price in Galway as it was a bank holiday weekend. I was very much tempted as i knew the location was excellent at the heart of Eyre Square. I had read the reviews and they were... More

b&b in the city at a budget price, not budget service. The rooms are a little small but perfectly clean and adequate. A great base for exploring the vibrant city and surrounding country areas. Notably the staff were all very good and helpful and knowledgable about events and tours. I will return. More
