Almara House

Didn't see when booking that this is a B&B. Found out after arriving thats what it was. There is limited parking here, so if there isn't a spot in front of the house (4 total) then you have to park in the drive under the tree. The entry and exit is desigened to direct you a certain direction so it makes you take wider turns which was a little hazardous. The bed was nice but took up most of the room. So if you need a lot of space for luggage you wont have it. The bathroom is big enough for 1 person with a small stand up shower. If you have used one before its not a big deal, but could be difficult for a foreigner. The staircase is very narrow, so again, if you have a lot of luggage its hard to go up and down and kind of hazardous. Breakfast was good, Marie is very nice.

The host was a lovely and very helpful. The room was very clean and the bed comfortable. Unfortunately we had to negotiate several flights of stairs to get to our room, which was a struggle. The room was on the top floor and not good as we had to duck often, especially in the bathroom when using the toilet as the room angled down, so heads would hit if standing up. A long way out of town.

The Bed and Breakfast is outside town. However, there are buses which make the access into town very easy. To go back, taxis and buses are readily available. When we were there, there was parking space enough just before the house. The place is well kept, and Mary is such a nice host. She is extremely friendly. Small things are taken care of in this B and B. Outlets are in the right places, everything is well thought. Breakfast is very nice, and the small conversation with Mary is nice to start the day. The only “complaint” is that our room an certainly the bed were very small.

Everything was great! There are three floors with rooms so beware if you have a lot of luggage. Mary is a lovely host and breakfast was great! It is a little bit out of town in the suburbs, but it was nice and quiet.

The hostess was pleasant and this property seems to be busy/full due to the location near Galway. The room is very small and you have to carry your suit cases up the stairs to the second floor. Bathroom is small but OK, with a shower. Parking is first come first served. Very tight if you come late in the evening. Breakfast was included and the parking was free.

We had a lovely stay. It was a busy weekend at the house with lots of guests. Rooms were comfortable. All very close together.

Great property, very clean and lovely room. Easy and short bus ride to the city. Very friendly host.

There was mistake with the days of my trip but Almara House was very efficient and she solved the problem sending us to another hotel with similar facilities. She drove us to the new hotel and she was in contact with us to know if eveything was ok.

I wanna start my review saying that Marie is the best! We arrived a day later as our flight was delayed so we lost the reservation, she did everything she could to host us anyway, super empathic and eager to help us. Her house is amazing and very cosy. Definitely would come back and recommend to any traveler to do so.
