Clean place to stay. Nothing fancy, but perfect for a cheap option not too far out of the city. Very near to grocery options, which is great! It is also easy to walk in and out of Galway if you are okay with a 30 min walk.
Would recommend bringing earplugs if staying on the weekend, as the courtyard was loud in the late night hours with people coming back from pubs.
Decent place if youâre traveling alone. Mattresses and rooms are a bit small for couples but doable. Definitely would not recommend for plus size couples
All good apart from the mattress was far from comfortable (very springy and not soft!) But the space is great and you have the ability to use the kitchen, fridge etc which is very handy if you're staying for a few days. Didn't really bump into anyone either so it felt quite private despite it being a shared apartment.
Check in was easy and the staff very helpful. My only complaint is that our room overlooked the quad and it could be very noisy in the middle of the night.
For the price I wasnât expecting much but dirty linens made us uncomfortable. The fitted sheet had lots of hair in it. It seems like they only wash flat sheet.
The hotel is a bit out of the way, so be prepared to taxi into the center. The rooms are tiny - bed against the wall tiny, squish in the shower tiny. Itâs also loud at night - thereâs no air conditioning so you have to have the windows open, and people are loud all night in the courtyard when coming back to the hotel. We didnât have great sleeps here. But there is parking onsite, which is nice.
Nice approach convenient to Superstore and bus stop 25 minute walk to City centre.
Easy, quick check-in and out.
Quiet area except for doors rattling in hall and Apartment when people come in or out.
Room was stuffy when arrived but opened window onto courtyard with pleasant view felt safe apart from one person wandering around apparently lost during the night presumably a reveller out on the town.
Only other downside was layer of dust on woodwork above bed and shower cubicle had some black mould in corners.
Great location, near the city. Our room faced the courtyard, so it was noisy at night as people returned from the pubs a little worse for wear. Hated the cold showers. The timer and or capacity could not supply enough hot water for the six people staying in our unit overall. So each of us had at least one very cold shower, not good.
The doors auto slam around the building so throughout the night you can hear every door being closed. Seems to be a place younger people go to drink. The first night we stayed we didnt get much sleep as there was partying going on throughout the building, mirrors got smashed, holes punched in walls. The following 3 nights were fine as we were alone in our dorm. Would not recommend going here when there is a festival on. But outside of that, should be okay.
Good value. The doors are really loud no matter how gently you try to close them. The walk to city centre is on a very busy road, but the upside is there plenty of shopping close to the hostel.
