Mountain View Guesthouse
"What a lovely guesthouse! It is spotlessly clean and quiet, and Patricia is a welcoming and gracious host. She prepares wonderful breakfasts each day. I highly recommend Mountain View if you want a Galway-area stay, a bit outside the city."

The map to city point apt was not to scale , missing streets and difficult to follow. The front desk instructions were brief unclear and misleading. ..."
