Very good

The room was spacious, well-equipped, and clean. I liked the on-site laundry facilities. The downside was that on-site parking was limited.

The room was next to a busy main road with no double glazing. Roadworks at night until 3am, asked to move room but was resisted. Furnishings cheap and uncomfortable.
The staff would not move us from our room, the room was dirty, stains on the sheets, and holes in the towel. Staff refused to provide refund upon checking out early. Do not stay here.
I've never had such kind and friendly service in a hotel before. Esther, Ellen, Eric and really all the staff at reception desk were amazing. There are fancier places to stay, but this was clean and I've never had friendlier service. The service in the convenience store next door was a little less friendly and impersonal.
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The services available were excellent

this is a college dorm. my bad review is mostly in regards to the Expedia listing and it trying to make it seem like a hotel. the staff was very nice but I feel the listing is inaccurate. My wife and I are in our 30s and celebrating our anniversary in Ireland and staying at a college dorm room was probably the least romantic thing lolol.
These rooms are university dorms, I believe, but if you’re popping into Galway for a day or two during the summer, they’re comfortable and well kept. Staff are friendly and attentive. Parking may be an issue if you’re driving but there’s a free lot that’s maybe a five minute walk from the hotel you can use. You’re definitely away from the town centre, but we drove in so that’s no problem. Grab an Uber and it’ll probably be something like €10 to get you downtown, not bad at all. Overall, a pleasant stay!
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.

Property was very clean and friendly, nice and quiet. Staff was very helpful.
*****NOT a HOTEL******** Please read the listing very carefully, this is not a hotel. To be fair, it never says it is a hotel, but if you're using an app, you sort of expect a hotel. This is student housing (dorms) rented out during the non-school time.
It was clean and quiet. Not very spacious. You have a private bedroom and bathroom. There are common areas you also have access to. There is no AC. Bathroom and bedroom are very, very small.It suited our needs very well, but it wasn't a hotel.
Nice to have access to the amenities: study room, pool room, laundry room, kitchen, and spar next door. Our room faced a narrow alleyway between two residential buildings and was near the main entrance to the complex. The sound of people coming back from parties at all hours of the night was amplified by the tunnel effect and we were wakened up every night of our week-long stay. Try to ask for a room outside of that area.
This place is not a hotel, it's some kind of student housing, in good condition but very tight rooms, no room cleaning, no restaurant and except for a convenient store on its premises, no restaurants nearby at all!
