This is a wonderful family B&B that has quiet suburban charm in a big city setting!

This lovely residential B&B in Galway city was perfect for a brief stop on the way to Connemara NP! It is ideally located near the city center, yet quiet and suburban in its setting. Bridie and George were wonderful hosts, and graciously accommodated my late check-in (I had done a day long tour of Innis Orr and couldn't arrive until 7). I still had time to take a lovely evening stroll through the park and the Latin Quarter and around Galway bay. Breakfast was wonderful, and I enjoyed a lovely chat with some fellow lodgers! Bridie introduced me to a wonderful new condiment that gave my eggs a nice little kick! Although my stay was brief, it was a joy - I definitely recommend booking with George and Bridie if your travels bring you through Galway city..

No complaints!

Great location, a few minutes walk from a bustling downtown. One of our favorite breakfasts. And the host , Bridie, is a warm , bubbly, and friendly hostess! We loved her.

We had a great time, thank you!

We had a wonderful time at Sli Ni Mara. The bed was spacious and comfortable, the bathroom was clean and well-maintained. The B&B is within walking distance to Galway's Latin Quarter, and you won't have trouble finding anywhere to sit and have a pint and listen to music. Breakfast was delicious, and our host was sweet and accommodating. This was a great place to stay.

Wonderful Anniversary Stay at Sli Na Mara

We spent two nights at Sli Na Mara in Galway and want to thank George and Bridie for their warm hospitality. They provided us with a comfortable room with a private bathroom, making our stay very pleasant. The B&B is conveniently located just a 10-minute walk from the city center, making it easy to explore Galway. The breakfast was excellent, perfectly attended and served, with a choice of several à la carte dishes, plus coffee, juices, and more. We were celebrating our 26th wedding anniversary, and they surprised us with a balloon in our room congratulating us—such a thoughtful touch that made our stay even more special. Highly recommended!

A home away from home :)

Had the best sleep of my life at Sli Na Mara! Bridie was an excellent host and made me feel instantly at home. She prepared a delicious breakfast for me slightly earlier than allowed to make sure I had enough time to make my ferry.

It was wonderful.

Our stay was delightful. We ended up staying 2 nights. The room was clean & comfortable & the breakfast was delicious. The owners were very attentive & even drove us to one of the restaurants because it was raining. It is within walking distance to everything and the owner had great recommendations for restaurants & pubs.

Nothing stands out as a negative.

9.0 / 10.0

Very nice b&b

Wonderful hostess who really made us feel welcome in her beautiful and cozy home. The room was spacious and fresh with a private bathroom. The Irish breakfast was good and generous with many kinds of bread, cold cuts and other goodies. Quiet location about 10 minutes walk from the city. We would love to come back here! / Maria and Stefan from Sweden

The only negative was that we would have liked two beds instead of one

Raw diamond with some rough edges

Location - in a quiet residential area but in short walking distance to restaurants, pubs and shops. Good night sleep with an open window. Lovely breakfast room. Parking.

Triple room rather smallish, not enough space to unpack bags. Narrow staircase, challenging, when you have bulky luggage. Private bathroom across the corridor. Watch out for water temperature changes when showering. No cotton linen.

Lovely stay in Galway

Excellent location in a quiet neighborhood, convenient to downtown Galway & the shoreline. The room I stayed in was very clean & had nice natural light. Great breakfast in a lovely dining/sitting room with a variety of hot & cold foods available. George & Bridie are attentive, friendly, & informative hosts. They also let guests leave cars parked a while longer after check-out -- a nice bonus to be able to explore a little more without having to navigate to public parking. Would stay again.

The bathroom is rather small (but is tidy & makes good use of the limited space).

Quaint Bed and Breakfast Walking distance town.

Loved our experience! Bridie was super helpful with suggestions of places to eat, hear live music, etc. Very comfortable accommodation and close to everything! We liked being close to things but it was outside the mix so it was quiet-was about 10 minutes walk to Quay street.

Nothing. Was lovely.

4.0 / 10.0

Great spot, but very expensive!

Friendly host and in a great position to either walk into the Latin Quarter for dinner and down to the sea front at lunchtime

The shower did not work properly. The pressure of the water kept popping it off the upright ‘handle’ and the tap for hot/cold did not respond so it was stuck on scalding hot- so no showers for us! We told the host who was most apologetic - but that was of no help to us!

10.0 / 10.0

The location was ten minutes from the city centre, located in a quiet neighborhood. Very homey.

The owners were very friendly and helpful.

The bath tub was slippery.

Well designed and welcoming B&B

This a well-designed and well-established B and B in a comfortable neighborhood just outside central Galway. The host family was fantastic and welcoming, and Galway was a cute, well appointed town spread along the estuary. Directions to the property were well-communicated and accurate. We loved the stay and would happily have spent more than one night both in Galway generally and at Sli Na Mara. Breakfast was also wonderful and every interaction with our hosts was a delight. We rested well, and I don't think there is any single more important quality to any accommodation.

This is less an opportunity for improvement than a 'didn't like', but the property is definitely 'well-loved.' No points deducted, but it could use some refreshing to really heighten the stay. Again, nothing wrong, and it hasn't reached what I would call 'tired,' but the property - which is really well designed, BTW - seems to have seen better days.

Excellent stay in the cutest little B&B in Galway!

My husband and I only stayed one night, but it was the best stay we’ve had in Ireland so far! The hostess was so nice and accommodating, suggesting places to go and things to do. We were in the very top room with a private bathroom across the hall- water pressure and heat was excellent; as was breakfast the next morning! Beautiful little home for a B&B in a great location to the city center. If we ever come back, we’ll definitely stay again!

9.0 / 10.0

a perfect second night on our 6 day Dublin trip

we had a family room and it was lovely for the 3 of us. the breakfast was excellent with lots of choices. the host and hostess very helpful with suggestions of places we can walk to, and for dinner. we were on the second floor and seemed very private and quiet. Also the hostess gave us a short cut direction to the sea and that is what I wanted, a short 5 minute walk and you are at a beach and long walk - Grattan beach

I liked everything. just to say though, if helpful to someone else, while we were ok with the 2 floors and stairs up and down, as we travelled with back packs, if we had bigger bags, or could not do the stairs, I am sure the host and hostess would help. best to travel light anyway.

10.0 / 10.0

Exceptional

Bridie is the best. So engaging and helpful to all of her guests. She helped us with places to go and see in Galway, and she was a joy with which to just sit and visit. My wife and I had a great time in Galway, and we really enjoyed our stay at Sli Na Mara.

Can't think of anything really.....
