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).

I booked two rooms on the same reservation and they ended up putting the two individuals in separate units.
