This was our first B & B in Ireland & couldnt have been better. The room although not over large was spotless & comfortable and had everything we needed, tea /coffee iron & board which after a couple of days travelling was a welcome facility. The shower cubical was small but again the bathroom was spotless.
The breakfast was well cooked and pleanty choice with endless tea coffee & home made scones.Frank was helpful & welcoming. A first rate B & B.

All my OH and I can say is thank you to Frank , Joan (and Ming) for letting us stay at your stunning home, in the lovely city of Galway. Everything about the stay was faultless and I would unhesitatingly go back to stay with you again.

Very friendly hosts who allowed us to check into our room at 10:30 am after an early flight. The room itself is very basic but the easy walk into town (10-15min) was perfect...away from all the noise but still convenient. It was a bit warm in the room but too much street noise to open the windows. I'd be weary if I was staying here during the summer months. We also had a problem with the toilet not flushing but this turned out to be nearly everywhere in Ireland so not to fault Petra House. The breakfast was wonderful as was the backyard garden, the friendly hosts, and the little dog! Would definitely consider on a return trip.

I have to emphasise that this is a fantastic B&B. Clean, quiet, excellent central location (but still nice and quiet -within walking distance of the city centre and close to main roads) , fabulous variety of food, comfortable, clean and tidy bedrooms and bathrooms, relaxed , helpful and friendly host. Thank You !!!

We stayed at Petra House earlier this month. I think everything's been said in the reviews already. Great people, fantastic breakfast options, comfortable rooms. It's about a 10 minute walk into the heart of Galway - I liked having a little walk to and from town though. The only negative thing I will say is that there are windows above the doors in the rooms - which is great during the day - but at night, they leave the hall light on, and this really affected my sleep! It was so bright in the room I couldn't get a good night's sleep! That's the only thing I would change...
