The location was great and accesible, it was very close to a bus stop that connected with the cuty centre. The check-in was very easy and the staff attentive. It was also clean and silence.

Stayed at the Westwood for a week while attending a conference at the University of Galway. I've not complaints about the place or the staff. Indeed, I quite enjoyed my stay there and would certainly consider staying there again. This said, there are two things I wish I had known about before deciding to stay there: (1) Unless you have your own vehicle, you're largely dependent on bus 404 or taxi to get to/from the city centre (it's a good 50-60min walk each way); and (2) there's no food/drink options in the immediate vicinity by other than a Spar. This said, the food at Kelehan's Bar & Restaurant, which is about 1.5km further up the N59, is superb; as are the pints.

Logement dans une citée universitaire très propre, calme et confortable (sauf le lit un peu petit pour deux personnes). Personnel accueillant et sympathique. Quartier calme. Possibilité de stationnement du véhicule. Bon établissement.

Room was decent for 1 person to much of a squeeze for 2 people would recommend getting a 2 bedroom one no tv in the room but 1 in the common room where there is a kitchen if you want to cooke

Better than expected, knowing it was student accommodation. Cleanliness and Bathroom facilities were first rate. Having the kitchen space was good too. Fairly quiet, even though on a main road. The staff were really helpful.

Clean and modern space. Lots of great amenities in the building. A bit of distance from city centre but there is a bus stop only a 5 minute walk away.

Wonderful property. Yes it is student accommodation but very clean, secure and good facilities. If you need somewhere close to Galway and not as expensive then this works great.

La camera rispecchiava le foto . Camera pulita , letto comodo , doccia spaziosa, doccia shampoo assenti , c è un armadio, una cassettiera sotto il letto e una scrivania generosa. Utile e comoda la lavanderia , a pagamento, a disposizione H24 , una zona relax con giochi, il cinema e tanti altri servizi che non abbiamo usato . Personale gentile e disponibile . Posizione non centrale ma c è una fermata del bus proprio fuori .

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.

Vanessa • Couple Trip

It was a convenient area but unfortunately the bathroom wasn’t very clean (hairs all through the shower etc) and I wish some travel shampoo or soap was provided. The bed was also just made with a top sheet draped over the mattress. Not a terrible place to stay and was quiet but don’t think it was worth the price.

Das Zimmer und insbesondere das Badezimmer entsprachen unseren Erwartungen komplett. Lediglich die Küche war dreckig, es war wenig Geschirr vorhanden und Töpfe etc. gab es nur einen. Wasserkocher, Toster etc. haben alle aber einwandfrei funktioniert!
