Lynfield Guest House

Galway

The landlady was very kind and accommodating however we left after just one night even though we had booked and paid for two nights. 
This was a very poor room for the money paid. Everything was below what we were expecting. The en-suite was carved out of a corner of the bedroom and was tiny and smelt of mould. Poor wiring. Dated room.  We would not recommend this at all.  

Poor. I do not recommend this place sadly

The owner loves to talk about her city and country. The room was pleasant and meticulously clean. Located 600m from the city centre and its pubs, the car remains in the parking lot! In 2022 it was no longer serving Breakfast (covid) but the offer is plentiful around.

Very well located, very nice boss

We paid 127.39€ (tax: 10.52€) per night, I found that the room is too expensive not to offer breakfast. Many B&Bs took advantage of the COVID-19 situation to not offer breakfast while maintaining the same prices.

All right

Location was nice, and decor updated. The hosts were quite helpful and accommodating. Adrian even drove us to the beach when he saw us waiting for the bus! The room and bathroom were appropriately stocked, though small. We were able to leave our bags after morning check out so we didn’t have to carry them around town all day before our evening train. We really appreciated this!

Helpful and accommodating

The host was super friendly and attentive, I was looking for a room for three people until I found him and he even offered to pick me up at the bus station, the next day we left the place early and he allowed us to leave our luggage until we left the city.  The room that we had was very clean and spacious, with a decent price, yes, it does not accept cards, but it also told us that it accepted dollars, so that is a plus point.  I would definitely go back, it was a great place to stay.

Súper amable y atento el host, estaba buscando una habitación para tres personas hasta que di con el y hasta se ofreció a recogerme en la estación de autobús, al día siguiente dejábamos el lugar temprano y nos permitió dejar el equipaje hasta que nos fuéramos de la ciudad. El cuarto que nos tocó estaba muy limpio y amplio, con un precio decente, eso si, no acepta tarjetas, pero también nos dijo que aceptaba dólares, entonces eso es un punto a favor. sin duda alguna regresaría, fue un gran lugar para quedarme.

100% recomendado

I stayed here for 3 nights in large double room. It was very clean and the hosts were extremely helpful when checking in. It’s very close walk to eyre square which was handy for getting the bus back to Dublin on my last day. Would highly recommend this place and the lovely people who run Lynfield. 
10/10 would stay here again !

A lovely stay in the heart of Galway

The room and the bathroom were a pure disaster. It was very dirty and the bathroom needed to be urgently renovated. The bedding was not clean. The request to adjust the heating was rejected. There was no breakfast despite the very high price. The only positive thing was that the location was very good. It was quiet and close to the city center. But there are several B&Bs there, which are certainly much better.

Not recommended!

Room nothing like photos.... 1970,s decor very poor...... shoe box en suite.     No breakfast available.  Rip off prices and  this was midweek.   Only thing  going for it was the 5 minutes walk to eyre Square, city centre.

Came here over summer with a friend of mine, chose to come here as some pals of mine had suggested it, was very excited to come to Galway as it’s a very different scene to Belfast - where we’re from. Was greeted by “Trish” upon arriving, i can officially say i understand why my pals call her “trish smell like fish”. Where do i even start. Walked in the door and was asked to remove both my shoes AND socks, which were confiscated? we then walked up the stairs only to discover specs of poo on each step, which got between my toes. We were showed to our room which was what i’d imagine the room jack and ma stayed in in the novel “room”. TINY. big window - with the view of wilted flowers and a skip filled with shoes and socks, presumably belonging to previous residents, and presumably where our shoes and socks were being put. We stripped the bed to give it a quick inspection to find stains that resembled blood on the mattress. the smell was rancid, i’m still unsure if it was the piss bucket we were given due to the broken toilet, or the poo between our toes. fast forward to the morning - we walked down stairs. barefoot. poo between toes. to find that FishyTrishy™️ had all of the residents piss buckets on the kitchen table; where she planned for us to later eat breakfast, and demanded we bring ours down. it was full of piss. we still don’t  know what she did with all that piss. Anyways, fast forward to leaving; we left late at night, as we couldn’t take another night of this poo infested piss village. full of roaches. we tried to slip out the door only to find FishyTrishy™️ watering the plants with her homemade manure, well, her residents manure. we now know where the buckets of piss went. so much piss. so little flowers?. we still haven’t got our shoes and socks back. do not recommend.

IF U COULD GIVE IT 0/5 stars I WOULD

This hostess has some nerve charging full price and no breakfast. She said it was because of Covid. She’s just lazy and excusing her ineptitude on Covid. Really? I have eaten breakfast at every place I’ve stayed and appreciate the effort. This hostess lacks any gumption to help her guests or make an effort. €128 for room next to car park.
