The sole reason I chose the Abacus Guesthouse was entirely based on the reviews from the Tripadvisor community. I was not disappointed! It is located in a quiet and convenient residential location (buses to the city center are just around the corner, or it's a nice, safe 30 minute walk). Our room was spacious, comfortable and very tastefully decorated (very... more

I was traveling with a friend to several cities of which Galway was one. The managers were responsive, engaging and very friendly. The amount of sunlight coming into the room was great; and our room was very clean. A full breakfast is included in the rate--because of my special diet (non-gluten, no red meat), I requested special accommodations. The managers... more

Enjoyed the place, comfortable, food good. One minor problem - had to park car on street (half on sidewalk, half on street) due to limited parking. Location is a mile or 2 from city center more

We were given a map, directions, and suggestions when we arrived. There is a small parking area in front, but... more

You will not find a more hospitable, accommodating B&B in all of Ireland. Breege and Louise are positively wonderful people and will bend over backwards to make you feel at home, and they're also both a pleasure to talk to - I found myself just wanting to stay in and talk with them all day instead of going out driving... more

We stayed for four nights over Christmas time. Our rooms were spacious and attractive as was the guest lounge, the breakfasts were delicious and the location was very convenient. But the thing that stood out most is how incredibly friendly and accommodating they were. They even invited us to join them for Christmas dinner. We did so and had such... more
