Where to start. We loved everything down to the smallest detail at The Stop. Everybody was incredibly attentive and kind from the minute we walked in to the moment we closed the door behind us when we left. The place itself was clean and beautifully put together. And the breakfast, wow. We had the shakshuka the first morning and the scrambled eggs and bacon the second. Definitely recommend both — especially the shakshuka. The flavours were delicious and the attention to detail in the presentation was great. We also LOVED the home baked cookies left every evening, and the freshly squeezed orange juice every morning. Russels and everyone also had lots of great recommendations for places to go close by and markets or events on any particular day. The location is also ideal, walking distance to the city centre. We couldn’t fault The Stop at all even if we wanted to. It was warm, cosy and homey with a fantastic attention to detail throughout. And we honestly can’t wait to come back!! Thanks to everyone at The Stop for making our stay in Galway one to remember!

The location was central to everything. We were directed to a parking garage down the street that was provided at a reduced rate for hotel guests. It was easy to access, although we did not need to drive during our stay in Galway. The room was spacious and well appointed. We appreciated the large bathroom space. Staff were very helpful. We experienced a problem with the AC in our room & it was dealt with right way. The self serve breakfast was exceptional. Both hot & cold foods as well as some grab & go options.
