The whole house is beautufully decorated. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and not the usual stodge that you can get in a lot of Irish hotels and... More

Russell and Emer are simply adorable. They are the youngest B&B owners I’ve come across, but they run a very well-oiled machine. Upon arrival, Russell gave us directions on how to get to the parking area behind the house (you then enter the house from the back door). He then gave us a self-drawn map (such a nice touch!) of...

We were a group of families and stayed in kilcullen house which is one of the best bed and breakfast I have ever stayed in in my life. It is really close to the city centre, university, pier, and the so-called Latin quarter (which is where pubs and traditional music bars are to be found). Just perfect! And yet, the... More

My husband and I stayed here for two nights and had a great stay. Russel is very helpful and friendly and gives you a map with great places to check out in Galway. My husband was determined to find a traditional pub and Russel had many suggestions. Breakfast is cooked fresh every morning and super tasty. The location is perfect... More

This is town-house b and b very close to Galway center run by two very charming innkeepers who helped make our one night stay truly memorable with their advice. Emer provided us on arrival with a great hand-drawn map of the area complete with suggestions on where to go. She even managed to secure last minute dinner reservations for us... More

I stayed at Russel and Emer's B&B last week with my 20 month old daughter, husband, mother and father. I was really concerned about meeting everyone's diverse needs (different age groups and nationalities to please). Thank goodness I took the time to read many reviews of Galway B&Bs on TripAdvisor. I give thanks to all the previous travelers who led... More

Such a great b&b, very modern and arty with tasteful decor and settings. The location is 5minutes walk from the centre of things. Russell was very helpful and gave us a list of recommendations for Galway's spots to eat, drink and to see live music. The fittings were new and clean, the breakfast was delicious (which was included in the... More

We visited Ireland for the first time in March 2013. Galway was our favorite city, and we stayed at Kilcullen House for the one night we were there (although we wish we could have stayed longer)! Russell and Emer were wonderful hosts, and provided us with a map of the places to go and places to eat while we were... More

We were only able to stay one night at kilcullen house unfortunately! Russell (and his son) was a fantastic host, very friendly and welcoming but not intrusive. The breakfast was really delicious (loved the home made bread!). The room itself was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the living area with home made cookies and lovely teas/coffee... More

I went to Galway with a friend for St. Patrick's Day weekend and we could not have felt more at home at Kilcullen House. We had a travel delay and couldn't arrive until the day after our reservations were made, and Russell (the owner) was very understanding. To make matters more complicated, my friend and I both arrived with colds,... More
