My fiancé and I were very satisfied with our stay of 2 nights at College Crest. This was the first B&B we stayed in during our Ireland trip, so I was looking forward to comparing it to the others, and I am happy to report it is a good one. The hostess, Helen, greeted us warmly when we arrived and... more

This B&B is by far one of the better ones in Galway. We got a warm Irish welcome and the staff went over and beyond for us. The location is perfect (only 5 minute walk to town), accommodation was very comfortable & the breakfast was great. I would highly recommend this B&B to anyone staying in Galway. more

Very reasonable for so close to the city centre. Owner/Hostess was very helpful. Decor is dated but room was clean. No extras like toiletries in the bathroom but what do you expect for the price? Bit concerned when I discovered that the table lamps are secured to the lockers with screws! Would reccomend for somewhere to lay your head on... more

I had read the reviews before our stay and was a bit concerned because they were very mixed. Most of them were 06/07 so as it was January 09 I hoped things had improved. We have had varied experiences before where we had stayed in other establishments in College Road and the first visit was great, only to return another... more

We were impressed with this B&B. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was comfortable and clean and the quality of the breakfast good. The B&B is well situated. The center of Galway is only five minutes walk and we were given great advice on local hotspots to visit. We felt that the B&B was good value for money.... more

I am not a big fan of B&Bs in the first place, but I must say this one is by far the worst I've ever stayed at. I booked for one night only (thank god) and on my arrival, the front door was wide open and nobody at reception. I waited, rung the door bell 10 times, phoned the place,... more

We arrived into Galway without a reservation. Using our Rick Steve’s guidebook we called the College Crest Guest House. They had availability therefore we booked two nights. After arriving we sensed the property was not well run. We received our rooms and were immediately unimpressed. The floors were dirty, the bathroom was not clean, the room looked worn. Had we... more

Unfortunately our experience was really terrible. As the previous review says, there is a nice girl running the place - actually two student age girls with a baby were running it when we were there. After speaking with another B&B proprietor, I have come to find out that it is common in Galway for someone to own a B&B and... more

I have given this b&b a mark of 3, reason being the first two were terrible!!! Feel free to read reviews on my first two attempts at finding a decent place to stay! College Crest was run by a sweet girl who seemed to be all alone doing the best she could considering her English was not very good. I... more
