The perfect place to stay” Amy & Paul make sure you are welcomed into their house and take an interest in what you are doing in the city. Paul went out of his way to give us directions to everything we wanted to do and offered spot on suggestions for restaurants etc. We were actually spoiled that we made this our first destination in Ireland….

It has been many years since I last stayed here and I was hoping the standard would still be high. I needed have worried. Bright, modern room, excellent facilities and lovely breakfast with a huge choice. I won’t leave it as long the next time to spend a night in Galway city and return to Petra House.

One of the best B&B’s that we have ever experienced, and at a reasonable price. The rooms are beautifully decorated and meticulously maintained. The location is a short walk to the center of Galway. The breakfast menu was as good as you would find at a good restaurant and the food preparation was excellent! Highly recommend the Petra House B&B!
