Can't recommend staying with Dolores enough. A friend and I stayed in the twin room for a week during Galway Race Week (if you've never been during race week it's a must do!). The room was as described, clean, tidy, fresh towels, and with really comfortable beds. The Irish breakfast is delicious to. But the best bit is the location. You are literally a couple of minutes walk to all the wonders of Galway's restaurants, bars and entertainment. Plus you can take a really nice walk/run around the bay to Salthills and see the brave people who swim in the sea in any weather! You can drive to Connemara or The Burren in about 1hr to.
Dolores will give you all the info you need about the local area and transport etc should you need it.
We'll definately be back. Great value and a wonderful host. Thanks again Dolores and Bernhard :)
