Very beautiful accommodation, in an excellent location for exploring Galway. The room and the bathroom were very spacious and comfortable. The owners, Paul and Amy, were extremely kind and helpful, they made us feel at home. The breakfast, prepared by Amy, was excellent. There is parking in the hotel.

It was genuinely a pleasure to stay at Bridie's home. The location is great, 10 minutes walk to the city centre and free parking. Bridie is a charming person and had very good advices for our trip to the Connemara. Would definitely recommend Sli Na Mara. Thank you again Bridie!

This was honestly the best hostel experience I’ve ever had. It was easy to find and easy to access reception. The staff were extremely helpful and kind. Upon arriving the receptionist gave us a map of bars to listen to music at, and even added his own favorite. We were not in the mood for something crazy but following the route we were presented with everything good Galway has to offer; from trad music, to sing-along-to-wonderwall, to ending the night at the receptionist favorite bar where we could rewind and end the night on a lullaby. The room were very clean, the beds sturdy (so when you climb to the top bed, you don’t move the whole bed) and all beds had curtains for privacy. The doors seemed to hold all sound out, so the rooms were very quiet. The toilets and showers were super clean. The showers were small cubicles, so you could go in and place your stuff on a small stool and then hop in the shower, which was great for privacy. The breakfast was good, lots of option and A+ for also offering other types of coffee like latte, flat white etc. (all from machine, but still). Fruit was available all the time, which was so nice. All in all just had a really great one night stay, and if we could’ve taken the Kinlay with us through the rest of Ireland, then we would’ve!

The location is super- right on the beach front. walking distance from Galway city. The room had double aspect views overlooking the beach. With our package we had wine and chocolates each day and bottled water. A lovely touch. Loved breakfast too.
