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!

A nice surprise

A very comfortable hotel. The beds are quite small, but that’s the only complaint. Extremely reasonable rates. A nice garden courtyard. Friendly staff. Great location.

The hotel was lovely really enjoyed my stay however it was very hot in the building and the thermostat didn’t lower the temperature in my room, I would still recommend this hotel and it was a very enjoyable stay besides the heat

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.

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

Budget friendly plush backpackers lodge

Stay was good, the room was a bit noisy and although the keycard worked on all doors required to get to my room, it didn’t work on the entry door, but overall it was an enjoyable place to stay and I will stay again.

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.

Very close to coachstation. No bags in trash can, might be a good idea to provide this. Besides this has a great stay.

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.

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.

Adequate value for price given that I booked it at short notice. Only cold water in the shower in the evening (there was hot water in the early morning).

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.

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.
