If you are looking for an excellent location to explore Galway, Roisin's cottage is the go-to. It is an older and rustic stay, that feels like a Rep back in time.
Easy walking to both quay street and eyre square. A bit further of a stroll you can enjoy a walk to the salt hill beaches.
Roisin provided very clear and quick communication, suggestions for food and music in the west end, and ease of access to the cottage.
Be sure to make a stop at the gastropub, massimo, which is same ownership. I arrived late at night so the keys were kindly left for me to pick up. Staff here is equally as kind as Roisin. Food and drink delicious.
