Petra House is one of a row of B&Bs on College Road in Galway, a 5-to-10 minute walk to the vibrant center of town. We stayed there for one night in Sept 2008 when we visited town to enjoy the Oyster Festival. The house offers off-street parking. Were were warmly received by Frank who was very helpful. Our room was a comfortable double - immaculate - with a compact but functional bathroom. The in-room TV allowed us to catch up with news of the financial melt-down and presidential debates at home in the USA. We thoroughly enjoyed the city - had oysters, Guiness, brown bread and Irish stew at The Quay and listened to Trad Irish music (American Bluegrass and Country) at The Crane. Breakfast at Petra was exceptional - one of the two best we had during our 2 weeks in Ireland. We'd happily recommend Petra House to anyone traveling to Galway.

lovely place to stay. we were very well looked after by frank who knows what people want . nothing was to much trouble.

ray, shaun, shirley, sue, thank you.

Referred onto here from another place i stayed in and enjoyable enough.Room average size ,neat ad tidy, small bathroom and as others say not great water pressure.Breakfast and dinign room very nice and as it is only a short walk up from city center a handy enough place to stay for work.Not the cheapest b&b I have visited and amount of cheaper hotels in Galway are probably killing the b&bs.

Petra House was my first experience with a B&B.
Frank and Joan, made you feel as if you were a longtime friend staying with them. They went above and beyond in every way.
The house is beautiful and very very clean.
It was an easy walk to the bus and train station and the town square.
I cannot end this review without mentioning the geat breakfast. The menu is large and the food delicious.
I would stay there again, in fact I would not stay anywhere else.
