Lovely B&B & Wonderful Hosts
I stayed at this B&B on Saturday the 1st of October as I was attending a wedding in Galway. Mary, Marty & Patricia were very welcoming and let me check in a bit earlier than normal as I was in a rush to get to the wedding. Marty even gave me a lift into the venue which saved me a heap of time. The room was small but completely satisfactory for my needs with an en-suite bathroom. I did not manage to wake up in time for breakfast on Sunday so I can't comment on that, but it did smell nice. I would recommend this B&B to anyone who wants a welcoming and cosy stay in Galway.

Nice couple - good breakfast - but a sardine tin!
Pros -- the couple are quite friendly. The breakfast was good. The facility was clean. Cons -- the room was more suitable for a small twin bed at best. The bathroom was extremely tight too. For 80 euro -- I would shop around in Galway. I've paid far less for far better hotels. Not sure how it got the rating it did from Expedia. My wife and I were quite disappointed. It's not really in the city and it's a trek to get to the bus station.

Incredibly warm and friendly atmosphere
I arrived after about 13 hours travelling, and was greeted by a friendly face, a pot of tea, and a plate of biscuits. The breakfast was lovely, and I was even given a lift to the station after I'd cut it rather fine to catch my train. Definitely recommend.

Locked Out and Reservation Cancelled
The customer service at this B&B is non-existent - they locked us out with a 3 month old child and cancelled our reservation then had no one available to help us even by telephone. They have a three-hour check-in window, from 3pm-6pm, which we had intended to make, but we were delayed due to poor road conditions, traffic, and the fact that we were traveling with a 3 month old. We arrived at 8pm and were locked out of the B&B. No one answered the doorbell and there was no phone to call for assistance. We called the "after-hours" number listed on the booking confirmation but it was out of order, forcing us to call Hotels.com at international out-of-network rates. Hotels.com called the B&B on a different number and no one answered. Effectively, the B&B cancelled our reservation because we were delayed in our arrival then offered no way for us to contact them for late check-in. We spent 50 Euro in out-of-network calling fees talking to Hotels.com to book another hotel at the last minute. Unless you are willing to risk being locked out with no recourse, I recommend against staying at this B&B.

Warm and welcoming
From our check-in to check-out, our host Mary and her family could not have made us more welcome. Our room was extremely comfortable and well appointed with beautiful snowy white linen, and a modern and spotless ensuite bathroom. Breakfast was cooked to order with a great choice from continental right up to a full cooked Irish breakfast option. We had a very comfortable and relaxing stay, and would highly recommend.

I love Anach Cuin
Anach Cuin is only a 10 minute bus ride to the City Centre but is separate enough to still get a good, quiet night's sleep. I adore the O'Brians. They are a delightful family who go out of their way to make your stay a pleasure! They really make you feel at home and are just absolutely wonderful. They gave me suggestions for tours, pubs and restaurants and drove me in to town several times over my 3 night stay. I really can't express enough how lovely they are. If you are looking for a B&B in Galway, this is the place!!

Lovely B & B in a quite area. Very homely
Lovely hosts. Very homely atmosphere. I was running a marathon in the area and could not have chosen a more perfect place to stay. Easy to find and not too far from the city centre. Enjoyed the hearty full Irish Breakfasts. Would highly recommend this as a great place to stay to friends and family and anyone visiting Galway

The BnB owners could not have been more accommodating. With the BnB being a half hour walk into the city centre they would drive me into the city everyday, happily. It was all I needed for two nights in Galway.

Wonderful hostess
The hostess was so very nice and helpful, she even gave us a ride downtown so we didn't have to call a taxi to get dinner. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Overall a very nice place to stay. The only thing I was unhappy with was that it is in a residential neighborhood, but its an easy mile-or-so walk by the river to downtown, and it really was a pleasant walk.

Cosy B and B close to everything
I enjoyed my stay at this B and B. The hosts were kind and welcoming. The breakfast was great. There is ample parking and everything is within walking distance or there is a bus close to the house. The water is also within walking distance. The area is very safe and clean. Galway has a lot to offer visitors and this B and B was perfect for my stay.

Disappointing room, Far from downtown
The people who run this place are nice but the room is crowded and the furnishings and bathroom are old and inconveniently placed. There is a sink in the bedroom with a counter, but the space on the counter is largely taken up by the tea tray. The sink in the bathroom has no counter so there is no place to put your things. There is no bathtub - just a shower stall. What makes it worse is that it is a long walk to downtown. It is located in a basic middle class residential neighbourhood and there are no restaurants or shops nearby. (We like to walk to dinner so that we don't have to drink and drive.) For me it was poor value for the money.

Home away from Home
I really enjoyed my stay at Anuch Cuin. It was a home away from home on my visit to Galway. The room was ideal for me. I arrived in the afternoon and fell asleep for 2 hours it was that comfortable. Mary and Mattie were wonderful hosts who were so kind, and genuine. The breakfast was delicious and hearty. I can't wait to stay again.

Nice B&B
B&B was clean and comfortable, but the room was a little bit small. Old TV with limited channels. The full Irish breakfast was great. Took a taxi into town, approx. 10 Euros. The innkeeper was very nice and informative.

Very Small Room
The place was clean, but the room was very tiny as well as the bathroom. It is about a 20 minute walk from down town so plan on bringing walking shoes if you dont feel like driving. They were very persistent for us to pay by cash even though it says you can pay with a card...and they told us it would cost an extra 5 Euros to pay with your card (this was not noted anywhere online).

Close to The Huntsman Pub and Eye Cinema
Website says check-in is 3 - 6pm, but you can check-in later. The couple who run it are very easy-going and supplied a plate of biscuits to go with a cup of tea, before I headed out. Breakfast next morning was lovely

The owners are very friendly. They give you biscuits upon arrival. They were very accommodating. The full Irish breakfast was one of the best of our trip. Parking is right in front of the hotel. Free Wifi. I would stay there again and recommend it to friends and family.

Ingen styr på booking
Et rigtigt sødt ældre par men.... de havde ikke styr på deres bookinger og vi kunne derfor ikke få et værelse på trods af booking nummer og bevis på reservation. Måtte derfor vælge meget dyre overnatning istedet.
