My husband and I booked a double. The room was spacious with a double bed, a single. and a large bathroom. The shower was hot and had a powerful spray. The only weird thing about it was that the glass panel only came half way across the tub, allowing water to leak out onto the floor. Other than that it was fine. The mattress were a little hard for us but that is pretty common in Ireland The B& B was spotless and nicely decorated. Breakfast was served between 8-9:30 am and was delicious. In addition to a full Irish breakfast, there was also cheese, grapefruit, several types of toast and cereals. Coffee ,tea and OJ are also served. There is a lovely garden view from the dining room through french doors. Mike and Mary were warm and friendly. Mary would ask each day where we were off to and how we'd made out the day before. She was especially helpful when we were planning on catching the ferry to the Aran Islands. We stayed at AbbeyLee for 3 days and would highly recommend it.

Stayed just the one night in AbbeyLee with my partner in the Rose Room. Bedroom was lovely and homely, we were very happy with it. Breakfast was lovely with plenty to be had and second helpings offered also. Michael and Marie were pleasant and helpful and we had no problems at all during our stay. The only thing to be aware of is that it is not exactly a central location in reference to Galway city itself; Salthill is a lot closer. However there are buses nearby and taxis in and out are pretty reasonable. Try Da Robertas in Salthill for dinner - its absolutely amazing!!!

  • Liked — Lovely rooms and very friendly hosts
  • Disliked — The walk into town, approx 30-35 mins to the bus station

this place was just what was needed after 24hours of constant travel and was the perfect springboard for visiting connemara and the aran islands, pity about the rain. Michael and Marie were extremely helpful with directions and insider information on the best places to eat . My only wish is I could take that double bed back home with me I have not sleapt as well since, maybe it was the sea air? :)

We stayed two nights in two rooms (we were four women) and had a really warm welcome. Our hosts were happy to give as much information as we asked for and breakfast was delicious. Beds were very comfortable. I would recommend this to others and will stay there again.

Ok-
Stayed here for a wedding at a nearby hotel.

I really hate doing this because the hosts are absolutely lovely and we really enjoyed everything else about this B and B. BUT- I woke up with 22 bed bug bites. This is my second attack in the last 6 months and I believe that the hospitality industry worldwide needs to understand that it is THEIR responsibility to keep their premises bed bug free.

It is simply not acceptable to have bed bugs, as they are easily detected by a bed and mattress inspection. As a two time victim- I am making a concerted effort to name and shame hotels and other lodging that have bed bugs. It is a sore dose- three weeks or so of pain and not worth it.

If they address this problem- I would be more than happy to give the review that the Abbeylee deserves as it is a lovely B and B...until then though....

I wish to offer my apologies to our guest of Sept 24th in his unfortunate experience with bed bugs. The room has been thoroughly sanatised and all other rooms checked and found to be bug free.
We are 6 years in business at Abbey Lee and this was the first encounter we had with bed bugs and I hope the last. Thorough vigilance and inspection will be our policy from now on.
