My sisters and I spent 4 nights here - 3 at the end of August and 1 in early September. Galway is close to the airport in Shannon, so we spent our first three nights here. There were two of us the first night, and three of us the other nights as one sister came a day later. Teresa had... more

Just a short walk into the hustle and bustle of the city this bed and breakfast was warm and welcoming. On a quiet street outside the city made it great for sleeping and siteseeing. Very easy to get to both walking and by car if traveling outside the city for a day. Great place to plant for a few days... more

My husband and I stayed atthe Balcony House for three nightswhile visiting our daughetr who is studying at NUI-Galway for tehsemester. We arrived early from our flight and although Teresa was busy preparing breakfasts for her guests she welcomed us with open arms. She invited us to breakfast and made sure that our room was prepared early so that we... more

A few friends and I stayed here for a few nights in July and although our stay wasn't bad, it wasn't the best b&b I've stayed in either. The good points are that its only a 5 minute walk from Eyre Square and a 10 minute walk from the majority of bars and restaurants on Shop Street. Nor is it... more

We stayed at Balcony House for four nights in June 09 as we were going to a wedding nearby. We struck lucky finding this B&B, as it is clean, well priced and very welcoming. The owner, Teresa made us all feel at home especially our four year old daughter! She really could not do enough. The food was plentyfull and... more

I was in Galway for a friend’s wedding and found the Balcony to be perfect for a lovely stay in Galway City. Driving up from Shannon and it was easy to find with adequate parking and its location is great as it’s only a short walk from the centre of town. Teresa was a charming host and most helpful throughout... more

We actually didn't book at the Balcony House, but had intended to stay at the nearby (and also superb) Petra House B&B. However, there was a slight mix-up, and Petra House didn't have our booking, so they very smoothly set us up at Balcony House instead. It ended up being wonderful. The owner was very kind and helpful (she gave... more

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3-night stay at the Balcony House, Galway. The accommodations are clean and tidy and very well serviced by Teresa Coyne, a most gracious, welcoming, and helpful proprietress. If you have a lot of luggage, your room could be a little small, but the ensuite bath is more than adequate. (We are not aware of the sizes... more

House was spotlessly clean, breakfast was very good, and location was only a couple of blocks from main downtown (translation main tourist area). Room had a prominent odor of "wet mattress" which we mostly solved with a can of OUST. Mediocre atttress seemed to be a 20-year old model. No comfortable chairs in the room, no sitting room and no... more
