The Perfect Stay

The property had everything I needed, including a full kitchen, sitting room, immaculate bedroom and bathroom. The room itself was very comfortable. Staff was extremely helpful and patient when I couldn't work out where my room was. The perfect stay!

The stay at the University of Galway was lovely. The staff was kind and helpful. It is a 30 minute walk to the city center, but a bus stop is nearby. The water pressure on the shower was quite strong. Otherwise, the stay was excellent.

Beautiful area and amazing to walk around. It’s easier to walk through the university campus than to walk around it (I made that mistake on arrival). It would be nice if the property provided some coffee and tea. I’ve never seen any place that didn’t provide that (including several university accommodations).
