Ali was amazing! The place is a basic bed and bath no frills, but Ali was an absolute gem.

Unterkunft war genauso wie wir als Paar es erhofft hatten: ruhig, sauber, unkompliziert. Preislich etwas teuer, denke aber es ist normal für galway. Die Lage war sehr gut. Sollte ich erneut nach Galway reisen würde ich die Unterkunft wieder buchen

Very clean, up to date, private room with private bath and QUIET! The location couldn’t have been more convenient - 50 meters from the bus station. Highly recommend for solo travelers. <100 Euros/night is great deal and better than a hostel.

A great location in the centre of Galway, accommodation was excellent, staff where very friendly and helpful, walking distance to everywhere, cheap carpark directly across the road. I would highly recommend it.

Interesting place to stay. Felt young again being in student housing. Very comfortable common area to sit downstairs. Perfect for singles. In the unit my cousin and I had, the doors to the bedrooms were fire doors so automatically closed and locked. (I did end up, locking myself out.)

Excellent location right next to the bus station and 2 minutes from train station. Area felt safe and easy and short walk to main part of town. Room spacious enough with plenty of room for storage. Bathroom large and updated. Staff extremely helpful and friendly. My only complaint is that having a TV in the room would have been nice.

Property appears to be a rental for the summer months. Its a school dormitory but very quiet and safe. Washer and dryer at location for small cost. Room was small but comfy for what we needed. Bathroom was inside the room.

The pros: location and the staff were excellent. Cons: The water pressure in the shower so low I can’t even come up with a g-rated description that captures it. I really don’t know how they kept it so low - while still having something come out. And what came out was cold. There was not hot water at all. The good news - it was the hottest day in Galway and the room was as hot as outside (no a/c) but thankfully - I could sit in front of the provided fan after my freezing dribbley shower and cool off.

Super friendly staff My room seemed dusty It’s was hot which wasn’t too bad if the window was open but if the window is open you hear everything outside and you can’t close the shade.

This accommodation was wonderful and the room, although simple, provided everything that should be expected for an off-season dorm room. Note though, that basic kitchen amenities (ie, hot water, cups, etc.) are not provided

This could not be in a better location. A couple minutes walk to the train station or bus station, several cafes and restaurants walking distance. A 10-minute walk to the tourist area (Spanish arch, Galway Bay, Latin quarter) it was extremely safe as we had to use our key card four times to get into our room which we appreciated. It was extremely quiet as we were on the back side. There was a shared kitchen which was great for the fridge. Our room had plenty of storage with two closets and full bookshelves. The bed was way more comfortable than I was expecting. They provided a fan as we were there during Ireland's random heatwave so we appreciated that touch. The room was clean however the floors were kind of sticky but that didn't bother us as we always wear flip-flops anyways. Would definitely stay here again for how quiet and safe and convenient it was.

It is a student housing/cheap hotel so you do get what you pay for. It is very simple and bare bone. The room and duvet are quite warm and there is no cooling aircon, so do watch out for that. I will say that the staff are super nice and helpful. Our shower was draining super slow and we only told them the 2nd last night of the stay. They offer to switch our room, which we did not bother as it was smaller and we only had couple more night. Regardless, hey sent someone to fix it the next day. Overall, I would stay there again, as I am not a luxury traveler and it met my needs.

Extremt varmt rum och ingen AC och ingen fläkt. Liten säng. Hårda kuddar. Sprickor i golvet i badrummet. Men ändå ett rätt stort rum och passar perfekt om du har behov av ett kök.

The hotel is in a great location. Minutes from the bus station, minutes to the square a few more minutes to the Latin Quarter and all kinds of great shops. The rooms are nice but a comfortable chair would have made them great. The shared amenities are great. They have a book exchange so bring an extra book to leave behind if you’re able to.
