We had a lovely stay here. The room was a good size with seating in it as well. The bed was large and comfortable. The location was a short walk to the city center areas. The first day we had to leave extra early to make our ferry to the Islands so we couldn't order a sit-down breakfast. They provided a paper bag with fruit, pastry and juice to take with us. The second morning we were able to order a delicious hot breakfast before going off.

I would say a luggage rack to put your luggage on would be helpful. The other thing would be to open the windows before guests come so there is fresh air to cool off the room. But these are small things.

The location of this B & B is excellent and easily located. We chose this place because it because it had free parking and was quite frankly the cheapest property that we could find in this overpriced city. The staff and accommodation are excellent. The breakfast was adequate in so far as it was cooked in a peculiar manner maybe all together in an air fryer (egg yolk solid , mushroom dried out 4 small slices, rashers and sausages okay, black and white pudding oddly dry from the cooking process). Overall impression is that corporate has gone mad on portion control. The cereals, fruit, yogurt, juice selection was very good, and in fairness we enjoyed the breakfast. The room was immaculate, quiet and the bed very comfortable. We slept very well. I would recommend this B&B to anyone having to go to Galway city.

Location was amazing and the parking was great. Easily walk into Galway city centre along a lovely canal. Despite being so close to town, the area is nice and residential, so no late night noise or partying. We had a great, spacious room, clean, everything worked, lots of hot water and good water pressure. Staff are all incredibly friendly and helpful, really lovely people. Breakfast was plentiful and good, lots of options and cooked fresh.

Some light came in through the window, better curtains/blinds would have been ideal. Not a huge problem but we did notice the morning light and outdoor lights at night.

Lovely B&B with an amazing breakfast! The rooms were very clean, I would say cleaner than most other hotels and B&Bs I’ve stayed at. The staff were all friendly and incredibly helpful. They were happy to help us when we needed. As many others have mentioned, the breakfast was incredible. They had toast, bagels, yoghurt, fruit and other cold foods available, and you could order hot foods at no extra cost. I recommend the full Irish or the mini Irish if you want to try a classic Irish breakfast!

The B&B is not in the very centre of Galway, but it is definitely close enough. Just a few minutes walk to the Latin Quarter, and a little bit more to Eyre square.

Desota B&B was a perfect place to stay at if you are visiting Galway! It was a 5 minute walk to the main city center which had an amazing atmosphere. The staff were welcoming and extremely friendly. on top of that, the breakfast was so yummy! It was so nice to be able to wake up, get ready, head downstairs for a good breakfast. They had a huge variety of things to eat along with hot coffee and tea!! Felt like home which was great since we are from the States. Whenever we return to Galway, Desota will be first on my list to stay at :)

Breakfast was great. Service was great. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Very convenient location for walking into town. Would book the same place again.

Our room was facing the road, so it was quite noisy when the traffic started going in the morning. It would be great to have a queen size bed. The shower could also be bigger. Having said as much, none of these stopped us from enjoying our stay, but they are just a few things that could be considered if/when you are doing major improvements.

The whole experience was lovely! The location was great. We were able to walk to most places in town with ease. We traveled to Sligo by bus and were able to walk to the bus depot. it took us about 15 minutes to get there. Breakfast was good, freshly prepared and plentiful. Our overall stay was totally worthwhile. We would recommend it to anyone and we would definitely return.

Please add more vegetarian and vegan options. Porridge was good, but we wished there were more options.

I had a lovely stay! They were very helpful and the whole staff and the host was super friendly. The breakfast was amazing there was everything you need and it was delicious. My room was super clean I can not complain about anything! The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was very clean and the water in the shower was warm :) I could also make tea in my room which was great. I felt very safe inside the Hotel and the location is very good I could reach everything by walking! I would always come back and can really recommend this Hotel! :)

- Close to the action in Galway. 850 steps or about 9 minutes of casual walking from DeSoto to Dew Drop Inn, which is where the restarants, bars, shop density starts. And it's a pleasant walk. - nice breakfast with variety of options - About 20 minute walk/2000 steps to the Coach and train stations. - Very pleasant staff.

- Small room. But I knew what I was getting into because of the room description and reports from the other reviews. I booked a single room, knowing it might be a tight space. Not a lot of real estate for you to stow your unpacked belongings. - No sitting area, other than the bed, within the room. - Horizontal surfaces for your things are the bed, the floor, and a small end table.

The property was lovely. The bathroom was very spacious and the room was big, lots of room for our backpacks and belongings. Loved having tea and coffee in the room and a fridge. The staff restocked things daily. The breakfast included was great. They have bread, spreads and cereals out but also often a hot breakfast and freshly squeezed juice.

I liked everything from the rooms, to the breakfast to the staff. They were very friendly.
