We had one night in Galway City and had booked this B&B which was just 7 minutes walk into the city, and we were so lucky we
picked Petra House.
Frank is such a helpful gentleman, he gave us a map of the city & pointed out different pubs with music and places to eat.
The house was immaculately clean and very cosy and we were made to feel very welcome in their home. The breakfast menu was brilliant too, especially the warm homemade scones that his wife Joan had made ~ everything was perfect.
So if your looking for a brilliant place to stay in Galway City, don't hesitate to book Petra House, as you will not be disappointed.

I found the Petra House after searching the reviews in TripAdvisor and we were not disappointed. We travel often and prefer B&Bs and Petra House was a wonderful choice. Frank and Joan were very welcoming and provided lots of information on what to see, where to eat and how to book tours. Lots of information available at the B&B if you needed it. The B&B was full when we arrived so there was only one room available but Frank did offer us to move us the next day when the other guests vacated but our room was great so there was really no need.

Breakfasts were wonderful, Joan's daily homemade goodies made them special. Lots of different choices and definitely plenty of food to keep you going for the day.

The B&B is a short walk into the main tourist area but close the visitor centre where all the bus tours start from. We were based in Galway for 4 nights and did tours to see the surrounding areas and there was lots to see and a good choice of restaurants and pubs with live music nightly.

Petra House has everything you need for a great visit.

The rooms are small but neat and clean. The B&B itself is about a 20 minute walk from town so it may not be for those who want to be close to everything. The breakfast was very good. The hosts were teriffic. Very helpful and friendly and really made it feel like a home away from home.

We recently stayed at Petra House and thoroughly enjoyed it. Frank and Joan are wonderful hosts who make you feel very welcome in their lovely home. Frank will give you tips on where to dine in Galway City and which sites to visit in the Galway area. The dining room is a lovely setting in which to enjoy delicious breakfasts, which include potato waffles, porridge and home-made scones. Food and atmosphere are both superb.

Petra House is in the perfect location on the outskirts of the city. It is a short stroll into the city, yet you are just far enough to be removed from the congestion of the city. Petra House is in a nice area on the college road and they also have ample parking, as well. We will definitely stay at Petra House again, the next time that we are in Galway!
