Phil is a very nice lady with a nice home, full of interesting displays and art. Going up the stairs with a suitcase wasn’t the easiest, but we managed that as well as the shared bathroom. For the price we paid, compared to the very expensive hotels in Galway, I would say we got exactly what we paid for. A nice place, perhaps not the ideal place for a married couple, but Phil was very nice and served us a nice continental breakfast and then we walked about a mile to the bus station to catch a ride back to Dublin. I don’t regret at all staying this 1 night at Phil’s, saved a bunch and the positives outweighed the negatives. If you want more, plenty of much more expensive hotels in Galway.
