We stayed for three nights at Roncalli House. Our room was comfortable and we had a view of the ocean. This B&B is in Salthill, a 10 minute walk from Galway, but very close to the ocean and on the way to the Connemara area. The breakfast was great and Carmel was always very helpful. Make sure you get tickets... More

I stayed for just one night here but Carmel made me feel right at home. She was so friendly and helpful and chatted with me a bit during breakfast the next morning because I was the only guest having breakfast at that time. The rooms were very comfortable and clean. The best part is the location...far enough away from downtown... More

Stayed at Roncalli for a weekend in august. Booked for 3 nights but ended up wanting to stay longer. Carmel is a great host and very helpful, she organised day tours for us and arranged for us to be picked up which was great! Our room was really comfortable and we had constant hot water. The bed was made up... More

I had initially booked one night, but ended up staying three as it was such great value for money. This home is older but well kept, and has a very cosy, homey feeling. I would definitely recommend and stay here again - inclusions were great - tea and coffee, modern TV, very comfy bed, and reliable internet. Carmel and Ann... More

We stayed at this very friendly, welcoming B&B while we toured Inishmore, Connemara and saw the local "Trad on the Prom" show at the hotel. I found Carmel, the hostess to be very friendly and helpful. She worried about us getting to Rossaveal in time for the ferry to the Aran Islands, but we made it fine. She supplied us... More

My wife and I stayed here last week. We really enjoyed Galway City and this house was a short walk to the city centre. The hosts were very friendly and helped us with directions to town. The room was clean and normal sized for the B&Bs we stayed at in Ireland. Only two minor complaints. We were in the front... More

If you're there to stay in Galway and see nothing else in Ireland, I'm not sure even then I could recommend this place. My friend and I were making a trip around Ireland in April and trying to see as much as we could with what time we had. This was our next stop after visiting the Ring of Kerry,... More
