The room was spacious, well-equipped, and clean. I liked the on-site laundry facilities. The downside was that on-site parking was limited.

kitchen tools were really dirty, especially the oven.
our room had gathered so much dust that you could've picked it up with your hand.
once a staff member barged in our room while we were naked, saying he mistook the rooms (he could've knocked lol)
i had to ask for towels and toilet paper myself.
the gate outside was broken and made a huge crashing sound whenever used (almost the whole day because obviously people enter and leave) and that was really noisy and bothersome.
overall nice place but perhaps only for 2 days...

The room was next to a busy main road with no double glazing. Roadworks at night until 3am, asked to move room but was resisted. Furnishings cheap and uncomfortable.

A bit far way from the town.

I've never had such kind and friendly service in a hotel before. Esther, Ellen, Eric and really all the staff at reception desk were amazing. There are fancier places to stay, but this was clean and I've never had friendlier service. The service in the convenience store next door was a little less friendly and impersonal.

this is a college dorm. my bad review is mostly in regards to the Expedia listing and it trying to make it seem like a hotel. the staff was very nice but I feel the listing is inaccurate. My wife and I are in our 30s and celebrating our anniversary in Ireland and staying at a college dorm room was probably the least romantic thing lolol.

These rooms are university dorms, I believe, but if you’re popping into Galway for a day or two during the summer, they’re comfortable and well kept. Staff are friendly and attentive. Parking may be an issue if you’re driving but there’s a free lot that’s maybe a five minute walk from the hotel you can use. You’re definitely away from the town centre, but we drove in so that’s no problem. Grab an Uber and it’ll probably be something like €10 to get you downtown, not bad at all. Overall, a pleasant stay!

The reception staff were extremely helpful and the kitchen was very clean with lots of instructions on how to use the oven etc. Thoroughly recommend it.

*****NOT a HOTEL******** Please read the listing very carefully, this is not a hotel. To be fair, it never says it is a hotel, but if you're using an app, you sort of expect a hotel. This is student housing (dorms) rented out during the non-school time.
It was clean and quiet. Not very spacious. You have a private bedroom and bathroom. There are common areas you also have access to. There is no AC. Bathroom and bedroom are very, very small.It suited our needs very well, but it wasn't a hotel.

Nice place with nice service.

Nice to have access to the amenities: study room, pool room, laundry room, kitchen, and spar next door. Our room faced a narrow alleyway between two residential buildings and was near the main entrance to the complex. The sound of people coming back from parties at all hours of the night was amplified by the tunnel effect and we were wakened up every night of our week-long stay. Try to ask for a room outside of that area.

This place is not a hotel, it's some kind of student housing, in good condition but very tight rooms, no room cleaning, no restaurant and except for a convenient store on its premises, no restaurants nearby at all!

Wonderful option for short stay with shared kitchen. Private room and bath, friendly staff, and extremely clean. Student dorms during school year, but easily adaptable for summer travelers.

We had everything we needed and more. The bed was full-sized not a queen - I didn’t understand what a ‘double’ was, and we are big people so that was cozy. There is a gym, full kitchen, dining and TV room on every floor. Plus a SPAR is onsite with hot food available all day. It is about 2km from the Spanish Arch and a taxi is 8-10E each way.

It was a fantastic please to stay. The staff were attentive to every detail. I was there for a month as I was transitioning homes. I couldn't have stayed any better in Galway.
