The Perfect Stay

The property had everything I needed, including a full kitchen, sitting room, immaculate bedroom and bathroom. The room itself was very comfortable. Staff was extremely helpful and patient when I couldn't work out where my room was. The perfect stay!

This was a great cheap option, and typical dorm room. The location was a little far from the main area but super close to bus route so it was fine. Solid budget friendly option.

The stay at the University of Galway was lovely. The staff was kind and helpful. It is a 30 minute walk to the city center, but a bus stop is nearby. The water pressure on the shower was quite strong. Otherwise, the stay was excellent.

Perfectly formed rooms

Travelling to Galway for work in August means a premium on your typical hotel stay so I opted for here. Perfectly formed rooms. Clean, comfortable and a great self catering kitchen. The university sits in a residential area so you’ll need.to walk a little to restaurants etc. Taxi service was quick.

Loved this stay. Affordable, clean, quiet. It’s a bit far for a direct walk to downtown but there’s a bus stop right nearby, and we didn’t mind getting the extra walking in so mad the walk multiple times anyways. The campus is gorgeous, you can walk by the River and get a nice view of a castle. Campus wasn’t busy at all. Highly recommend if you’re in the area looking for somewhere affordable. I’ll probably be staying here whenever I’m in the city in the future.

Good price. Parking close by. Downside is that if it is warm, no AC or fan so had to keep window open. Very noisy in courtyard overnight so had a terrible night's sleep.

Beautiful area and amazing to walk around. It’s easier to walk through the university campus than to walk around it (I made that mistake on arrival). It would be nice if the property provided some coffee and tea. I’ve never seen any place that didn’t provide that (including several university accommodations).

The bed mattress was of poor quality and not very comfortable. The bathroom sink was very slow draining. But otherwise was very clean. The reception staff were very helpful in sending across by post my son’s teddy and speaker that he uses to self soothe and has difficulty sleeping without. We were running late at check out and these items got left behind accidentally. Thank you
