    The young lady that let us in was very helpful including walking me down to the lane to access the back of the property for parking. We had early plans and they made sure we had access to the continential portion of the breakfast early. Room was small but very efficient - the bathroom was the size of a closet but had a door & was all we needed.

    If you enjoy having a clean and comfortable bed, a spotless bathroom with great water pressure in the shower, the smell of freshly baked cookies and bread in the afternoon, and a delicious breakfast to start your day, The Stop is the place to stay in Galway. So convenient to walk to either the city center or the local neighborhood pubs and restaurants.

    Everything was wonderful. Nothing not to like.

    The Stop is an absolutely wonderful place to stay in Galway. We loved every part of our time there. The staff are welcoming, kind, and helpful. We had a delicious breakfast each morning and a comfortable place to sleep each night. The entire house is charming and relaxing. It has a common areas for all to enjoy, and so we were able to put our 2 young children to bed upstairs while we relaxed downstairs. We would 100% stay here again.

    The Stop is a real gem of a B&B. The minute I walked in the door, I enjoyed being there from the welcome from Daniella to the tasteful decor throughout and the comfortable bedroom and shower facilities provided. Breakfast was exceptional, bringing a delicious twist to your normal breakfast fare. Russell could not have been more accommodating with my special requests and helpful with my queries. When in Galway again, I will definitely want to stay at the Stop.
