2/10 Poor

Our room had spider webs, bugs, a dirty toilet.

2/10 Poor

Close to train station and center of the city. The company uses this dorm building as a hotel for only about 2 months in summer. Room/shower not clean. We had a bag disappeared in the room while we were gone during day. All doors were fire doors that shut hard (no chance we forgot to lock the door). Cameras are at the end of hallway (no camera outside of our room door), they said they didn't see anything stolen on camera and asked us to check our luggage, but my daughter and I each had a carry on, a bag and a purse, not a lot of luggage/space that the bag could be hidden in luggage.

2/10 Poor

Hot room with no reprieve. People staying around us were incredibly loud but because of thin walls. No sheets on bed. Clear effort to reel in money from tourist while school is out of session. Would never in a million years stay here again. Felt like a one star motel but paid for so much more. Do not stay here

2/10 Poor

This is a horrid hotel. Its decor reminded me of an industrial park. My room had no air conditioning and a huge window that wouldn't open and took direct sunlight. There was a kitchen with things like a cork board and a white boad which were completely useless. I don't know who planned this but it wasn't for the vacation traveller.

Ripoff

Despite having booked and paid in advance online with Hotels.com, when i arrived at the property i was told it was not paid and my creditcard was charged again by a Ukrainian gentleman at reception. I queried this and said i did not want to pay twice. I was assured all was in order. On getting home i checked my cc statement and found i had indeed been charged twice. I messaged the property but got no reply.

Very warm inside the building and rooms, little airflow. Quite noisy at night. In a convenient area to the Latin Quarter - within walking distance to many pubs and stores.

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.

Great stay

I enjoyed my stay. The staff were helpful and friendly. The area was convenient and safe. The bed was more comfortable than I had expected. Wifi was excellent. Laundry facilities were easy to use. I knew going in that this was a student dorm turned hotel for the summer. The website FAQ stated it was not air conditioned. I do wish they had provided face cloths and refreshed the room more often, but overall great stay.

Great location, close enough to everything. Parking discount was good valuable & staff were really friendly. However, a massive negative was that the room was unbearably hot. Fans were available at reception but made little difference. If they could sort this issue it would be a great place but as it stands, wouldnt stay here again.

Nowhere in the ad does it say students accommodation. Rooms are not as pictured or described. Rooms not cleaned to a hygienic standard. Bed in first room not fit to sleep on. Second room cleaner and more comfortable than the other one. Very cramped singe person room being offered as a double, bed against wall. , do not recommend staying here.

Não é um hotel e sim um hostel de estudantes. Extremamente quente e sem circulação de ar. Sem ar condicionado. Inumeras portas corta fogo que abrem para dentro e para fora aumentando o risco durante um incêndio. Muito barulhento.

Galway Stay

This place exceeded my expectations! The room is quite small (which is to be expected for a budget stay), but there was plenty of storage space. Our room was clean upon arrival and stocked with towels and toiletries. Rooms are cleaned every 3 days, but you can request additional towels and toiletries whenever. I definitely recommend this place!

Disappointed in Galway

It was safe, clean and the reception staff was nice. Good location and close/within walking distance to many attractions. However, the rooms were unbearably hot. The reception area had air conditioning but the room only had heat. They provided a desk fan but it was so hot in the room we could not sleep. There also was no tv in the room and no restaurant or drink area only a vending machine. If you need a minimal place to stay in the winter with no frills this is good. It is basically a dorm room without air.

Solid and budget friendly

Budget friendly , easy location walking distance from the airport! Chrissy at the check in desk was lovely. Only negative was no A/C and the room was warm. They have fans I just didn’t think I would need one and should have. Wish they had an option for early check in!
Someone’s dirty laundry was in my room but I think it was just an oversight

Noisy seagulls were a bit of a drag but otherwise it was a decent place to stay! Also, we did ask them to change our bed sheets, but they just made the bed and left the same sheets. Otherwise though, staff was kind to us and we were able to sleep!

Ehhh

Very basic room. Converted dorm room or something. But if you’re on a budget, it’s clean so you can’t go wrong. But if you want any kind of creature comfort, try somewhere else.

Not a hotel

This is a dormitory for a local college, not a hotel. Misrepresented on the advertisement. We arrived and had to leave requested a refund since this wasn't as described in the the description. Requested double beds and each room had a small bed typical for a single person.

4/10 Fair

Aptly named! A little hard to find. Quiet and peaceful except for the seagulls at 8 pm and 4 am! Right around the corner from the busand train station; a minutes walk! Had all required amenities for convenience! Ample storage in the rooms to tuck luggage out of the way. Excellent in these regards. No air conditioning. Reception will provide fans on request. Ok with windows open but very difficult to close the blind with some windows when open. Some windows unfortunately do not open much! Odd designs. Cleanliness less than desirable! We found an empty captain Morgan bottle under one of the beds when we were leaving. While we were thrilled to know they had laundry facilities on site, we could not use them as we were thoroughly disgusted by the grime and filth in the gaskets of 2 of the 3 machines. We did not bother to check the third. The bathroom was dimly lit and had no proper ventilation.

Overall not bad. Close to city center, easy to get to parking, quiet and safe. Not great help at the front desk, especially after hours when checking in. Room was fine, but got warm and no ventilation or ability to open window, only a small fan.
