Guest Reviews
- MARK (10/5): - Just outside center Galway but a very quick bus ride into the city. Super convenient.
- Bridget (10/5): Absolutely fabulous, everything we needed and more. Even able to do some washing, just perfect for what we needed - Easy to find and good instructions for getting in. Fabulous to have the use of a house and not just a room.
- Ahmed (9/5): -
- Christian (9/5): Bien - excellent rapport qualité/prix
le petit plus avec le Pd el libre servive raso
- Ludmila (10/5): Обязательно вернусь еще и порекомендую - Отличный вариант. Завтрак не входил в стоимость. Но в кухне было все необходимое. Заботливо оставлены круассаны для завтрака, кофе и чай. Была возможность постирать и высушить одежду. Везде очень чисто Все отлично
- mayra (9/5): - Muy bien conectado con el centro con varios autobuses, las camas cómodas y el área de cocina con tetera etc.

Well stocked kitchen with tea, coffee and breakfast cereals
- Valérie (10/5): - Nous vons apprécié le frigidaire et les quelques petites choses à grignoter pour déjeuner. Déplus pouvoir laver son linge est tellement apprécié ☺️
- Yoann (8/5): -
- david (6/5): - Peu ou pas indiqué. Porte d entree et accès aux clés.
Pas de rideaux opaques. Il faisait jour à 6h ds la chambre.
- Laura M. (9/5): Galway in relax - La zona tranquilla e l' organizzazione degli spazi della struttura.
- Eoin (6/5): Bed - Room was clean, easy to get to. Were okay with me checking in at 11pm. Had an issue with the wrong code being given to me for the lockbox, someone was snoring incredibly loudly in the room next to me, and there were no pastries or snacks in the kitchen despite prior communication from the property saying so - the only substantial food item I saw was Weetabix. Can't remember seeing any toiletries in my room either.
- Maura (1/5): Covid - N/a Would prefer someone to stay with Covid and infect other residents than refund.
- PETER (5/5): -
- Ricardo (7/5): -
- SAJI KARUKAPILLIL (8/5): Good experience. Provisions in kitchen are like ok for a few guests but very low when booked to capa - Location was good. It was professional. Bathroom space needed to be more. Room space for two was tight but manageable. Space in bathroom and the room
- Elena (10/5): - Lovely place to stay. Lovely host. Great location.
- Sarah (10/5): -
- Sarah (10/5): - Stayed here every month since October for college. Comfortable rooms and facilities that you can use. Very close to multiple bus stops to get into town. Towels were a bit small
- Caitlyn (5/5): -
- Petra (8/5): Guter Dormatory Standard, alles praktisch und Parkplatz - Sauber, Dusche sauber, Küche vorhanden, Teppich im Aufgang, nette Angestellte Maintanance Autolärm, Küche tw. schlecht ausgestattet, keine Schälmesser, Töpfe zu wenig
- Sloman (7/5): Convenient stay in student quarter with access to washing machine and dryer. Property is a way from city so need to use - Property was in the university quarter and the reason we stayed there was access to a washing machine and dryer which was good. Delineation of food ie milk was not clear as some belonged to longer term student guests. Bathroom in our room has drainage issues.

- Oxana (4/5): - Parking available outside, the host is easily contactable. Quiet room as I requested. Very basic and tired room with very limited items provided: only soap & hairdryer. No mirror in the room, no shampoo/conditioner/shower gel, blinds were old and in poor condition. The shower was full of mold and tiny...
Some of these things might be forgivable if it was a bargain B&B, but they are charging 140 euro a night!!! No breakfast incleded
- Marie (6/5): Bedroom very good, poor ensuite - bad pong from handbasin and tiny. - None given It was the tiniest ensuite I have ever seen, 700mm wide. There was a bad pong coming up from the handbasin.

- Naziha (7/5): - Wehebben een prettig verblijf gehad. De kamer was in orde en alles wat we nodig hadden was aanwezig. De eigenaar was erg aanwezig, wat soms even wennen was, maar tegelijkertijd ook betrokken en gastvrij.
Hij heeft bovendien een erg mooie keuken met fantastische ovens, wat duidelijk terug te zien was in de zorg en aandacht waarmee hij kookte. Een bijzonder leuk moment was dat hij speciaal een heerlijke ei-pizza maakte voor mijn zoon, wat erg gewaardeerd werd.
Dat soort persoonlijke aandacht maakt het verblijf extra speciaal. Al met al een goede ervaring, vooral dankzij de vriendelijkheid en inzet van de eigenaar.
- ColinSB (9/5): -
- Mireia (6/5): - Parking gratuito dentro de la propiedad.
Cocina a disposición. Las escaleras para subir a la habitacion.
- Carolin (7/5): Okay für kurzen Aufenthalt - Gut ausgestattete Küche, kostenfreie Parkplätze , waschmöglichkeiten Das Zimmer war etwas spartanisch eingerichtet , dadurch leider etwas ungemütlich, Zentrum nur mit Auto erreichbar
- Michael (10/5): -
- Miroslaw (9/5): -
- Ahmed (9/5): -
- Gerard (9/5): - All good and satisfactory. Thankyou
- Gerard (9/5): - The Warm comfortable room and bed and the excellent spacious kitchen which is always stocked with things to have for breakfast and with your coffee.
- Nicola (3/5): - Location The heating full blast, no TV, poor parking facilities, noise levels throughout the night
- Gianluca (8/5): -
- Michael (10/5): - Everything Perfect.
- Buckley (9/5): Great stay, with some minor blips. - Clean, central, quiet. Not much milk in fridge for cereal next morning. Couldn't get coffee machine working properly. Central heating on full so had to eventually open window, kickoff bed clothes, as sweating profusely.!
- Michael (8/5): Great. - Great 👍 More notice for recycling.
- Paweł (10/5): -
- Audrey (8/5): Staying at the Silver Sea was just right for our weekend stay in Galway. - Very clean. Comfortable beds. Well heated. Own bathroom in the room with hot water from early morning. Hairdryer in the room. Well equipped house: for laundering clothes, dishwasher, kitchen & cooking utensils, coffee machine. Foods for breakfast included in the price and available in the kitchen. Didn’t see any staff but they were obviously in and did housekeeping, made beds etc. Clear instructions to access keys, WiFi etc and owner kept in touch via email. Handy bus stop, with frequent buses to travel into town from early morning to about 11pm For the price we paid I think the service and facilities very reasonable. The house is on quite a busy road and we stayed over a weekend. If you’re a light sleeper with a front room the traffic might disturb you, especially if you keep the window open. However, once I fell asleep it didn’t bother me.
- Thomas (6/5): Bodenständig - Der elektrische Boiler in der Dusche war nicht sehr Vertrauenswürdig für mich.
- Colin (7/5): -
- Patsy (10/5): Extremely good -
- Rachael (10/5): - Loved the property. It was clean and comfortable.
- Gerard (9/5): -
- Alfredo (8/5): - All comfortable and clean, good sized room and nice bathroom
- Victor (10/5): The bathroom was very clean - The staff was very nice
- Mohammed (2/5): -
- anthony (9/5): - Clean professional, location closed to merlin park hospital for my visit Shower would not go cold enough on high.
- Lu (9/5): Close to bus station and cook for yourself nicely. - Kitchen for cooking by yourself I really love it. The location in booking.com is wrong, I believe that should be corrected.
- Geraldine (7/5): Great for a night out but not for longer - Excellent location in the midst of pubs and restaurants in the old town No tea or coffee in the room. Basically just a bed
- james (7/5): clean comfortable room good value rate. - ideal location as i had early morning app in merlin park hospital . walking distance. no tv in room
- Kevin (7/5): - Nice and warm. Rooms were spotless. Comfortable bed. Nice big tv though l found it hard enough to get what I wanted to see but got there in the end. A shame there was no milk in the fridge
- Hazel (9/5): I had an early hospital appointment and just needed an overnight stay, checked in late and was out early. Lovely and cle - Very clean, use of kitchen and living room if needed. The property itself was great, I had a late check in, so no one was there and I eventually found a number to ring to get a code for the self check in. It would have been easier if when I had been messaging about my late check in that I was told this. However I did get the code very promptly and all was good then.

- Siobhan (7/5): -
- Balázs (8/5): -
- Paola (8/5): -
- Maria del Carmen (10/5): Breve y cómoda - La tranquilidad y la naturaleza
- Michael (7/5): Small room and bathroom, but daily cleaned. - Room very small but clean & proper, daily cleaned.
Kitchen to share with all you need for prepare breakfast yourself.
Bus stop "ATU Galway" 5 min away to get to the city center within 15 minutes. It's regularly served. Room and bathroom very small.
Carpet in room.
House is situated in industrial/commercial zone and a lot of construction work outside in this area.
No supermarket nearby.
A lot of bus stops seemed out of use...take bus stop "ATU Galway" 5 min away to get to the city center within 15 minutes. It's regularly served.
- Charlene (10/5): -
- Junior (8/5): -
- Michelle (8/5): - Clean place to stay in a good location you can drive or bus to city center. Nothing charming about the small room and bathroom, but they had coffee tea in the kitchen and closet and cubby space to put your things in the room. Property owner/manager was really responsive and helpful! Linens were rough and seemed like a generic room.
- James (8/5): -
- Isobel (6/5): Good stay, budget accomodation. - Good proximity to town- short bus ride into the city. Very clean accomodation. Noisy at night, could hear many doors opening and closing.
- Olof (9/5): -
- Rosemarie (10/5): Good value for race week, overall everything good - Full selection of eatables for breakfast, brilliant location 👌 Cannot think of anything could be better,
- Jennifer (9/5): - Staff was very quick with responding to questions. Self check in was convenient. Shared bathroom was actually bigger than the bathroom that comes with the single room. I didn't use the laundry but it's great that it is available. Wish I had known about the construction on the street because it was difficult to recognize the guesthouse among the fences
- Diane (5/5): - There was no milk at breakfast time! I used UHT milk in my cornflakes :(
My room was very hot - I couldn't open a window as it faced the road and was downstairs. The only open window was in the bathroom but the bathroom radiator was on full blast and I couldn't turn it off so I had to close that door!
- Merri (10/5): The rooms were nice and comfortable with everything we needed. The host was great and very helpful. -
