I've just returned from 2 days in Galways where er stayd in Asgard Guesthouse.
Is is a nice house with beautiful and very clean rooms.
Housekeeper is very nice, she helps you in every way.
Breakfast is very Irish so you can also avoid to eat until 7.00 p.m.
House is 5 minutes walk far from city centre to be reachd to a pleasant green park.

We stayed here on 29th & 30th Apr 07 and found it very friendly and welcoming. The room was adequate and clean. The breakfast was plentiful and unhurried. The location for central Galway is superb.
We booked by email and paid on departure. We would definitely stay here again.

I was there for one night at the end of March and Ive never been so disappointed and shocked by anywhere Ive stayed. Its the worst B & B Ive ever come across. The owner has no manners and no idea how to treat guests. As soon as we arrived in the door before we even got our room or the key she demanded money off us. We asked to see the room first and it was tiny. The door into the room couldnt even open the full way because it hit off the bed. There was only a narrow space between the beds and the wall where one person could stand. The bathroom door wouldnt even open fully. The person I was with went down to ask was there a bigger room & she told us it was the biggest room in the house. An absolute lie! She shouted at him and demanded the money. I could hear her all the way upstairs. We only paid the money because we had rang around other B & Bs to check for availability and there was none so we had no other choice.

The next morning we went down for breakfast and she asked both of us did we want a full fry, my friend said yes and I said no and started to say I just wanted eggs but before Id even gotten to the word eggs she had turned her back and walked off.

The owner is rude, inconsiderate, angry and doesnt even know the meaning of manners or friendliness. Even if she had been nice it would not have made up for the poor quality of the B & B.
Avoid it at all costs!

This was the worst place I have ever stayed at. Veronica, the owner, is very abrupt and can be downright rude. The place is very overpriced and the rooms are very small. We did not get much sleep as the walls are paper thin (I could hear the people next to us snoring at night). Constant doors slamming and floors creaking. We had one morning with only a cold shower and a constant water pump knocking through the walls. Also, we were blocked in by cars parking and blocking us in all night long, when I told Veronica about it and told her the following morning that we had to leave, she said the owners of the vehicles blocking us were having breakfast and she would get to it. I told her that I didn't want to wait for people to finish eating when they were the ones rude enough to block me in. She made a comment saying they were probably Americans. Turns out, no they were Irish. Then she made a comment to them saying she had to take care of the "Americans" as if it was so distasteful. Stayed two weeks in Ireland and loved all other B & Bs, HATED THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,

I stayed here last weekend and found Asgard Guesthouse to be a good place to stay, when i first arrived I was offered a glass of wine by the lady of the house and found her very friendly indeed! The room was a bit on the small side but was ensuite, clean and had cable TV, but what i found worth mentioning was the wireless broadband which was free and allowed me to make calls home via skype on the internet.

All in all I would recommend Asgard as a good place to stay and i have stayed in alot of guesthouses near the city centre.

regards

Tom Quinn
