Five stars for sure. We had a cozy and clean room with a small attached bathroom over the local pub. Our room had no noise issues but then one of us can sleep through anything and the other always brings her earplugs along! Our landlady, Caroline, was definitely the hostess with the mostest and a one woman wonder. She tended the pub, the lodgings and prepared the food, always with a smile and a friendly greeting. Breakfast was made to order and she even managed to come up with evening snacks for vegetarians. The pub was a locals spot yet we never felt unwelcome. Caroline was also a wealth of local info and if she didn't know the answer she always seemed to know someone who did. Even had the local priest on speed dial! We would definitely stay there the next time if we are ever lucky enough to be in Galway again!
