Lorraine's bnb is honestly the best place. It's accessible to the main city centre via the 409 bus (the stop is literally right outside the stay!) and it's really easy to tap and go with a LEAP card. It's clean, has great wifi, and is quiet. It truly is a getaway and a lovely place to stay.
Lorraine's family is splendid as well, and everyone really makes you feel at home. I'll definitely be staying here again when I come back to Galway in the fall.
