"Nice place spoilt by minor irritations."

8.0

The property is in a really nice development. Walk to sea front only 5 mins.

Had problems opening the key lock box, needed a small screw driver to prise it open. Parking is tight. and a hike to the apartment if one has lots of stuff to get from car. Shower in en-suits needs maintenance. Traffic in and around Galway is mad.

Once located, excellent instructions for access (entry) to property via text.

A little harder to find than it needs to be. Of course, once you find it, there is the "ah-ha" moment. Maybe a better photo of the parking area. Took 15 mins but that could be my personal stupidity. lol

"Very clean, excellent location to access the Salthill Promenade. A few fixes and this place could be a real gem!"

7.0

Great location and very clean.

I was traveling with my 85 year old Aunt. The unit is one level, but parking is on another level. This was not disclosed. Ran out of hot water and the flow and temperature of the showers are poor. Toilet seat in the main bathroom needs attention. It moves around and the bolts need tightening. The lid closes on you like a clam shell when seated on it. Reached out regarding the water and was given a lousy excuse initially. Someone else contacted me and unfortunately with her advice we still did not have hot water at the sink taps. I find this very unhygienic especially when washing dishes.

Great location and lovely property

We weren't sent the check-in instructions until 3 hours before we were due to arrive. This meant we were very concerned that there was an issue with our booking.

Great location. Very quiet and easy parking

Very minor- one room had great blackout curtains which is great in mid summer . Would have loved the same in the bigger bedroom. Also , would have liked to get the entry instructions earlier that day before I started my journey there.

"A good choice for a party of 3"

9.0

Location was quiet and clean. Nice to have an apartment and not a hotel because we were 2 couples.

It's good for 3 people, but not 4 because the 2nd bedroom bed is a smaller than usual and the bedroom is small and cramped. The sizes are accurately shown in the photo of the bedroom, so easy to decide for yourself.

"Excellent accommodation but showers and toilet seats need attention."

8.0

Decor beautiful and beds very comfortable. Very clean and well laid out.

The showers- water pressure in shower in main bathroom was very poor and the shower in the en suite didn’t heat the water at all. Also one toilet he’d no top on the toilet seat and the other wouldn’t stay up while you were sitting on it.
