We had a wonderful time at the Abacus Guest House for three days this April. The host and her daughter were so kind, friendly, and eager to please. They treated us like family. The breakfasts were large and delicious and not as greasy as many Irish breakfast we encountered. The rooms were very comfortable, well appointed, quiet, and private. Our room had a cool egg-shaped refrigerator in it too which was perfect for storing beer! They have internet and a flat-screened tv in the guest area, and we had a TV in our room too. The B+B is very convenient if you have a car and are using Galway as a jumping point to other locations in Western Ireland. But be prepared to walk 30 minutes or so along a road before getting to downtown Galway. (I'm ok with the tradeoff - while it was far away from the center of town, and we didn't have a car, it was certainly more peaceful than any hotel in central Galway, and we enjoyed the walks when we did go into town). I'd highly recommend Abacus!!
