Very comfortable room and good breakfast in a charming dining room. The owner, Frank, is terrific. A 10 minute walk to restaurants and pubs, with sidewalks and good lighting.

We are a young couple and travel often. We were very happy when we reached the Petra House during our stay in Galway. Since we decided not to rent a car, we walked from the bus station which was not a problem, just a few blocks from the city centre. At first the street looked a bit disappointing, many identical B&Bs lined up in a row but as soon we stepped inside and met the hosts and saw the place we were quite happy with our choice. The breakfast was far and above other B&Bs we stayed in Dublin and other parts of Ireland. The location was great- we walked everywhere.They had good tour suggestions and were polite. I highly recommend this B&B in Galway.

We also took an interesting walking tour with a local Galway grad student studying architecture and history we both truly enjoyed. We booked that through the visitors center.

Excellent value for the price; very friendly and helpful owner; fine well prepared breakfast; convenient location; clean

Frank and Joan were the perfect hosts. Breakfast was first rate. I opted for the salmon and eggs both days and was not disappointed. Breakfast is accompanied by home made scones. The room was spacious and the bed comfortable. Parking, though on site, was a little tight. The location, though not central (which is good unless you like noise) is right near a college campus and is a short walk to Eyre Square and city center. Galway was one of our favorite locations. It has all that one could ask for from a medium sized city, but still has a town-like feel. It is very pedestrian friendly. The restaurants were outstanding. Try Oscar's across the river.
