Staff super helpful and came at a time when it wasn't busy so no complaints about noise. We only stayed one night and did the job. Shared kitchen was helpful.

Very ideal for a solo traveler who has \"outphased\" the hostel experience. I stayed 5 nights in a Goldcrest Village single room. You are in a \"shared apartment\" but all this means is you have a (USA) hotel-style hallway to your separate, key-card locked private bedroom and bathroom (think dorm style, but you get a solo room and private, tiny but functional bathroom). There is a kitchen and shared living area in a separate part of the \"apartment\" with kitchen and fridge. Honestly ideal. I know there were others on my apartment block but I didn't see a soul in the shared spaces the whole time I was there. Wifi is good, and there is a tiny shop nearby. Front desk services available all but a few hours in the wee night, and Campus Security van often present and parked out front. 20ish min walk to city centre. Bodywash but no conditioner available in shower (to my girlies out there wondering). The one thing is DO ask housekeeping for any extra towels//pillows//etc that you need when they are there in the morning or leave a request the night before because the front desk was not stocked with those items. Secure luggage storage. Pricey (like everything these days) and nothing fancy but honestly the cheapest you can do for peace and quiet and getting your needs met. I very much do recommend.

Nearby bus stop or walk along the Corrib to arrive at Galway cathedral and Francis Street. En-suite private bathroom and a well equipped laundry room. Modern dorms. Nicer than what you get in the Ivy League. Irish students spoiled rotten.

Loved this stay. Affordable, clean, quiet. It’s a bit far for a direct walk to downtown but there’s a bus stop right nearby, and we didn’t mind getting the extra walking in so mad the walk multiple times anyways. The campus is gorgeous, you can walk by the River and get a nice view of a castle. Campus wasn’t busy at all.

Highly recommend if you’re in the area looking for somewhere affordable. I’ll probably be staying here whenever I’m in the city in the future.

The bed mattress was of poor quality and not very comfortable. The bathroom sink was very slow draining. But otherwise was very clean. The reception staff were very helpful in sending across by post my son’s teddy and speaker that he uses to self soothe and has difficulty sleeping without. We were running late at check out and these items got left behind accidentally. Thank you

Good price. Parking close by. Downside is that if it is warm, no AC or fan so had to keep window open. Very noisy in courtyard overnight so had a terrible night's sleep.

Perfectly formed rooms

Travelling to Galway for work in August means a premium on your typical hotel stay so I opted for here. Perfectly formed rooms. Clean, comfortable and a great self catering kitchen. The university sits in a residential area so you’ll need.to walk a little to restaurants etc. Taxi service was quick.

This was a great cheap option, and typical dorm room. The location was a little far from the main area but super close to bus route so it was fine. Solid budget friendly option.

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!
