Disliked: Cleanliness
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.
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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Student center and hotel in summer months. Clean and in the midst of down town Galway, lots to do I the area.
You get what you pay for. Limited amenities (no trash can at all in room or tv). It’s great if your on a budget and just need a place to crash for 2-3 nights
The staff was very friendly, and the room was clean, with a very nice bathroom. The mattress was a little bit uncomfortable, but nothing unmanageable. It was also very loud, with people slamming doors well into the early morning. Otherwise it was a lovely place to stay, and I would visit again

It was perfect-I was thrown off by how it was a little hard to find, but very happy when I did!
