"I like the location to close from city centre but the room it's clean but not comfortable"

4.0

The bathroom was isolated from the rooms, which was very uncomfortable. There was no wardrobe, the bathroom window was broken, it was very cold, and the bed shook a lot.

I liked the location; it's close to the city center, Christmas market, restaurants, and shops.

"Conned by a conman who is facilitated by booking.com"

1.0

There is nothing good about this guesthouse. It's location next to NUI Galway for those who need to be there is the only possible positive.

The room is advertised as having heating. It is freezing and they turn off the heating entirely from about 9pm to 7am - the temperature in the bedroom as I was trying to go to sleep was the same as the temperature in the street outside. Not enough bedding. Thin duvet in a cold room. Home-made bed that sounds and feels like it is going to collapse. You can't read in bed, as a bunkbed built to overhang the main bed blocks the light. No shelves or cupboards. No coffee. No staff - this is stated by some as an easy no-frills access via pincode, but there is no one to complain to about anything. External bathroom across the landing. No shower gel or toiletries. Access by an old and narrow staircase - it is hard to even shut the door behind you and hard to take luggage up and downstairs. No food - the booking.com page highlights the Mocha Beans cafe connected to the property, but this shuts in the afternoon. They also highlight Cafe West 37 a few doors down - note this is also a Mocha Beans outlet and so they are directing you to their own establishments. That also shuts in the afternoon. Then they highlight Matt's takeaway a few doors further down - which also shuts in the afternoon. I ended up buying a Pot Noodle from Centra as there was nowhere in the vicinity to buy any food from at 8pm. This owner is running a fraudulent business model, claiming to provide heating and that eateries are nearby. Did I say the photos of the room don't match the reality? This isn't worth 30 euros a night. It is very similar to simply sleeping in the street. I will be demanding a debit charge full chargeback. I was booked to stay two nights, but after not a single second of sleep on the first night, I decided to abandon Galway entirely and go back to Dublin. Don't even consider staying here.

The room is clean and warm. Not far from the city centre.

Very little space for even one person. He doesn't have breakfast.
