Good B&B
This is a good B&B. The room was nice and clean (but very small single twin bed room, tiny bathroom). Walls were paper thin and the door key is an old fashioned key. Internet and gathering area was outstanding. Staff was very nice. Good for a quick weekend stayover.

Not the Place for a Good Night's Sleep
If you have someone staying in a room above you do not expect to get any sleep. We were not able to sleep until the people above us quick walking around the room. You can hear other guests' voices, TVs, showers, and use of toilets. The mattresses need to be replaced.

Nice, but not a 4 star
The hotel was pleasant enough. No real great amenities, but that's fine. It did what it had to.

Good for a day
Easy check in. The door key was a skeleton key and wasn't the easiest to open and the rooms you can hear what's going on outside and down he hall but overall for a one night stay it was perfect.

Large rooms with 2 double beds
Within a mile of "downtown" Salthill, which is lovely, but it is a steep hill coming back up. Easy distance to Galway as it is just over the bridge. No restaurants or food in the BnB and the beds were worn in spring mattresses.

Okay, but nothing special
The open area was nice enough, but the room itself was very small, a corner room on the top floor. Bathroom was also very small. It was in a nice enough neighborhood, but a long walk down to the Salt Hill (30 minutes approximate). But if you are looking for a budget stay, it was certainly clean and orderly.

No impressed with The Rise B&B in Galway City
Not impressed from the get-go. There was no receptionist when we got there. The owner has three buildings in the area so she had to come from another place. The building and the rooms were clean and inviting so no complaints there. The double bed was well used and sagged in the middle. The place was full of what looked like University students and they returned from Galway City after a night on the grog and we certainly heard them!! For the price (190 euro)this place was definitely not worth it.

Could've been better
The hotel staff could've been more friendly and the overall hotel could do with updating. Not a bad location and the staff were helpful ringing taxis.
