Its provides the basics. Location was good for me that I was away from the city center it was quiet it was Secure very minimal of course because it's College residence it was a 30-minute walk to go downtown but only a 10-minute walk to Tesco & 15 min where the boutique shops were located. ##### SIADHE ANGEL Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris 11 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Chris Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Brittney 9 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice location, clean rooms, and quiet. I wish TV would’ve been included in the room and parking is minimal, there’s a free lot a few streets away but not convenient to walk back and forth with your luggage. ##### Brittney Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alynese 7 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Alynese Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Cynthia 23 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A nice place to stay for budget friendly traveling, but there is no A/C and no fans which made it very uncomfortable for a few nights during the summer. Otherwise it was nice, clean, and comfortable. ##### Cynthia Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Kieran 12 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Nice location. Kettle in room be nice(& TV?).Paid parking a shame. ##### Kieran Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Glenda 3 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities All the staff were very helpful especially Tara & Cathal went beyond. It was easy to take bus into town ##### Glenda Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Wes 11 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The rooms are great but very minimal, no glass or cup for drinking, and no container for recyclables. Other than that, quite excellent! ##### Wes Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### KESHAV 1 Aug 2025 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service We knew it was summer housing with limited facilities. No surprise there. Housing was clean. But students made lot of noise outside our room both nights we were there. Laundry is about 10 euros. Bus to city is twice in a hour. ##### KESHAV Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Karolyn 10 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities Very close and walkable to north campus of U of Galway. The room was clean and supplied with sheets/duvet, towels, bath tissue and soap. No other amenities, although I believe guests can request some toiletries as well as a hair dryer. The room was quite warm with no individual control of the thermostat. Staff promptly delivered a fan to the room when I inquired. The kitchen/common area on my floor was clean. I think some basic instructions for the appliances would be helpful for guests from other countries. A clean and safe accommodation for budget travel. ##### Karolyn Stayed 10 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Steven 13 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Decent accommodation for the price. Clean and quiet. Not great if you're driving. Listed as having parking, but there are very limited spaces that are almost always taken. The nearest alternative is 200-300 metres away at a public park. Also, photos on Expedia make it seems like the rooms have a kitchen, but it's a shared kitchen. ##### Steven Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Susan 15 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very loud at night outside with individuals, the outside gate slamming closed and people talking very loud ##### Susan Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas 6 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The services available were excellent ##### Thomas Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ray 27 May 2024 Liked: Amenities Property was very clean and friendly, nice and quiet. Staff was very helpful. ##### Ray Stayed 6 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra 16 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Sandra Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kenneth 3 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities VERY basic accommodations-- only 2 towels provided and not even any toiletries whatsoever (other than a tiny bar of soap). Even to get a hair dryer, we had to pick it up at the front desk. The place is pretty new, but so everything was in good shape. I will I would not complain except that in all the hotels we stayed at during our 11 day trip throughout Ireland, this was the most expensive, yet the least to offer. I understand that the prices were jacked up because of the horse races going on the week we were in Galway but as one of the locals I was talked to on a bus, I was it was inexcusable to charge so much. Even she was shocked and disgusted when I told her how much we paid. ##### Kenneth Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Karen 10 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The room was spacious, well-equipped, and clean. I liked the on-site laundry facilities. The downside was that on-site parking was limited. ##### Karen Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jun Kyeoung 2 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities A bit far way from the town. ##### Jun Kyeoung Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jonathan 2 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great experience! 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. ##### Jonathan Stayed 28 nights in Jun 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Gran Hotel Bali](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Benidorm-Hotels-Gran-Hotel-Bali.h1234444.Hotel-Information) > > [Menlo Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galway-Hotels-Menlo-Park-Hotel.h520812.Hotel-Information) > > [Long Beach Mauritius](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belle-Mare-Hotels-Long-Beach-A-Sun-Resort.h78675.Hotel-Information) > > [Imperial Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galway-Hotels-Imperial-Hotel.h973324.Hotel-Information) > > [The Western Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galway-Hotels-The-Western-Hotel.h1707887.Hotel-Information) > > [Victoria Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galway-Hotels-Victoria-Hotel.h2360342.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galway-Hotels-Harbour-Hotel.h583248.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ardilaun Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galway-Hotels-The-Ardilaun-Hotel.h518365.Hotel-Information) > > [Salthill Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galway-Hotels-Salthill-Hotel.h2360434.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Hotel Galway](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galway-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Galway.h21984.Hotel-Information) > > [Maldron Hotel Sandy Road Galway](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galway-Hotels-Maldron-Hotel-Sandy-Road-Galway.h1217426.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Galway](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galway-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Galway.h2166715.Hotel-Information) > > [The Galmont](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galway-Hotels-The-Galmont.h660779.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyde Hotel (Formerly The Forster Court Hotel)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galway-Hotels-Forster-Court-Hotel.h19115255.Hotel-Information) > > [Moxy Edinburgh Fountainbridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Edinburgh-Hotels-Moxy-Edinburgh-Fountainbridge.h64450784.Hotel-Information) > > [The Hardiman](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galway-Hotels-The-Hardiman.h1604748.Hotel-Information) > > [Nox Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galway-Hotels-Nox-Hotel.h10944527.Hotel-Information) > > [Galway Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galway-Hotels-Galway-Bay-Hotel.h106984.Hotel-Information) > > [Galway Bay Sea View Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galway-Hotels-Galway-Bay-Sea-View-Apartments.h6724479.Hotel-Information) > > [The Connacht Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galway-Hotels-The-Connacht-Hotel.h16232.Hotel-Information) > > [Flannery's Hotel Galway](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galway-Hotels-Flannerys-Hotel-Galway.h1993.Hotel-Information) > > [Clybaun Hotel Galway](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galway-Hotels-Clybaun-Hotel-Galway.h1201417.Hotel-Information) > > [Glenlo Abbey Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galway-Hotels-Glenlo-Abbey-Hotel.h4076.Hotel-Information) > > [Eyre Square Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galway-Hotels-Eyre-Square-Hotel.h2360371.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge Galway](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galway-Hotels-Travelodge-Galway.h916560.Hotel-Information) > > [The G Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galway-Hotels-The-G-Hotel-And-Spa.h1156121.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Luton (LTN) to Amsterdam (AMS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ltn/ams/london-to-amsterdam) > > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Sommacampagna (VRN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/vrn/manchester-to-verona) ### General > [Visit Pornichet](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pornichet.dx5849)
