    Bed wasn't comfortable, if I was a student, I'd need a mattress topper!

    Well equipped kitchen, had body/hair wash in case you forgot it, only 15-20 min walk from the centre, and staff were lovely.

    Maybe it id a bit far away from the city center walking however the bus stop is just 3 minutes away and comes with regular service. Eyre square with bus is just at about 15 minutes.

    Spacious room, with a big bed for two people, clean bathroom and towels with all in one soap. Overall facilities are modern and its very easy to check in and out.

    The property itself is absolutely fine but the location is further than you might realise. You can only access the river walk, for example, at certain points - despite what Google Maps thinks - and there’s a lot of doubling back on yourself to get to the actual building. Add to that a lack of signage. Also, the shower was tiny which usually doesn’t bother me, but I did find myself wondering how other people might fit.

    Clean room with basic facilities for cooking in a shared kitchen. Staff were helpful. Near a pleasant river walk. It was quiet when I stayed.

    Only downer was the noise from very young, very excited overseas students staying nearby in large groups. Understandable. Only got a bit too much once. Forgave them. We were all young once. Oh - and it was very expensive.

    Nice riverside walk into town. Loved the cleaning team who swept through like an army every morning. You could almost hear “The Ride of the Valkyries” booming after them. Clean, comfortable room and shared kitchen. Helpful staff. Very clearly geared towards the welfare and support of students, which spills over to the summer guests.

    Room felt way cramped and smaller compared to all the other student accommodations that we have stayed in at the same price range. There was no proper closet for clothes. I understand it’s a student accommodation but even students need those, don’t they? Too many boxed shelves.

    It was a bit on the outskirts. So, peaceful and surrounded by greenery. The room itself felt a bit cramped at the price range.

    Since it’s a campus, there are naturally a lot of young people around, so it can get quite noisy at night

    Spacious and bright room. There are common areas and a room with washing machines and dryers, which are very convenient for longer trips

    The only thing we can think of is adding one more chair to a room for two people (so far there is only one which is a bit annoying), and the fan in the bathroom is on 24/7 and is very loud at night.

    The accomodation was great. The room was small, but clean with loads of space to keep our things in. The bed was comfortable, bathroom clean. The room was cleaned every day. Shared kitchen was equipped with everything we could think of. Location was ok, within walking distance to the city centre.

    The doors banged very loudly as they closed in the shared apartment. From 6am both mornings, you could hear vehicle reversing alarms on the maintenance vehicles in the courtyard outside. Otherwise a great stay.

    The room was very clean and had everything we needed.

    The room was quite warm at night, and we wondered if the heating was on in summer. We aren't used to this. It may suit others.

    Great rooms, wish I'd had halls like this when I was at University! Location was super for Galway and the walk to town was mostly in through the campus, easily signed by blue dots on the path.

    Room was hot, but easily fixed by getting fan from reception for 20€ deposit (should be routinely supplied without need to enquire as rooms could be very hot in summer periods where daily temp over 15 degrees; no air con to rooms) Shower was small with poorly adjustable shower rose; no ability to adjust water pressure. Unclear whether this issue was limited to our room as another resident said their shower was great.

    Good access to and from city via local bus (number 404 . Eyre square to Corrib Village). Access to kitchen with cooking facilities, fridge, kettle, toaster, but no coffee tea supplied. Comfortable bed. Room very compact with limited circulation space for two people.
