Guest Reviews
- JELLOULI (5/5): - Le fait que ce soit proche du centre de Galway et le parking Nos hôtes étaient invisibles sauf à notre arrivée. Sur la porte de la chambre était affiché une note indiquant les heures de calme/silence à respecter 21 H à 9 H du matin et voilà qu'ils ont fait du bruit dans leur cuisine dont le mur était aussi celui de notre chambre jusqu'à 3 H du matin, bruits de coups plus ou moins répétitifs, impossible de dormir... Quand nous avons fait la remarque, la maîtresse des lieux a accusé les voisins. Je précise que nous l'avons vu la veille de notre départ.
Pas de tapis de douche dans la salle de bain, pas de rideau de douche, sol mouillé très glissant au sortir de la douche (baignoire).
A part 1 carafe d'eau - jamais remplie à nouveau - à notre arrivée, du café soluble et 2 sachets de thé nous n'avons pas "vu" de breakfast puisque pas vu nos hôtes.
- Luis Martín Peña (10/5): - Ubicación excelente, todo limpio y cómodo. El anfitrión fue muy simpático y acogedor. Tienen un gato muy lindo.

- Marie (7/5): -
- SILVIA (10/5): - Muy céntrico y cómodo Por las mañanas apenas había agua corriente , no pudiendo ducharnos, teniendo que hacerlo si o si por la noche . Por lo demás era genial .

- Lorenzo (8/5): - La camera si trova in una posizione molto comoda ed è risultata accogliente, spaziosa e dotata di tutto il necessario per il soggiorno. Era pulita e ben organizzata, non mancava davvero nulla. Inoltre, la ragazza che ci ha accolto è stata molto gentile e carina, e ci ha dato anche alcuni consigli utili durante la permanenza. È stato un po’ complicato mettersi in contatto con i proprietari per organizzare il check-in. Inoltre, come indicato su Booking, il bagno è condiviso: non abbiamo avuto particolari problemi, ma è presente la lettiera del gatto. Va comunque detto che l’ambiente era pulito e ben tenuto.
- Franjo (8/5): Simpe - A small room in the very center of Galway - close to all the action, yet completely quiet at night (just the romantic sound of seagulls). Best of all: free parking included. The plug adapters and the electric kettle were a nice bonus.
James was very friendly during the check-in, showing us everything and telling us what we need to know. All the faults mentioned in the negative reviews seem to be due to the fact that people don't read the description carefully. You don't like the cat or the given check-in time? Then book somewhere else.
My only complaint is that the pillow was too hard for my taste, but wasn't a big deal in the end.

- Raffaella (7/5): Graziosa residenza - Struttura pulita e in buona posizione, anche se difficile da raggiungere seguendo le indicazioni sulla mappa. Consigliamo di contattare i proprietari con un certo anticipo prima di arrivare . Tutto sommato il soggiorno e’ stato piacevole Comunicare e’ stato un po’ difficile. Siamo stati avvisati solo dopo il nostro arrivo che era necessario chiamare mezz’ora prima di arrivare per trovare qualcuno a casa. Siamo comunque riusciti a metterci in contatto con i proprietari che sono stati gentili e hanno fatto il check in

- Ladislav (8/5): -
- Vendela (10/5): -
- Andre (5/5): - central location shower faucets for continental europeans not operable
- Tracey (6/5): 3 Hour check-in window or €20 penalty fee. - The location was great and there was the added bonus of free parking. We literally just needed a place to put our heads down for a few hours before leaving again so the price was attractive. - €20 extra for checking in outside of the 3 hour check-in window. 4-7pm. Sent numerous texts to remind me of late fee.
- Rudely asked to take off our shoes as we walked in the door.
- A little awkward to find.
- Given a contact number but explicitly told to use it only in absolute emergency.
- Shared bathroom with Cat's litter tray.
- Given a key but door was left off the latch all night. (Possibly for other flatmate?)
I let the host know that we were traveling a lot the day of arrival (from Tipp to Dublin then on to Galway) and wouldn't arrive until approx 7.30pm. We arrived at 7.45pm. I know that the host was home either way plus I had booked weeks in advance. Admittedly I didn't read through the finer details of the booking, however, the late arrival penalty fee is highly unusual. When arrival time was definite I let the host know. I was then sent a list of house rules and made aware of the extra €20 before arrival.
Honestly, I would have paid €50 extra to stay in a more professionally run establishment. It felt to me that the host was doing us a favour, that we were an inconvenience.
We were looking forward to our stay and meeting old friends. I was apprehensive having paid before arrival and was unable to cancel.
I think this late fee gives a bad first impression. If a more welcoming and friendlier approach was taken initially, I probably wouldn't have such a negative response. It just felt like my money was more important than I was. Perhaps the host had bad experiences with previous guests??
- Brendan (4/5): If you are ok with a cat litter in the bathroom it will be ok for you, stinks of cats. - it was a good location, I was only staying for one night and needed something near the city centre A cat litter in the shared bathroom is little short of disgusting, the check in process was a bit confusing. they will only accept a check in between 4 and 7, I said I might not be there until 8 and got what I think was a pretty shirty message saying more or less make sure you have 20 euro in cash to pay for the out of hours check in. FFS what is that all about. I managed to check in at 5 to avoid this nonsense having sent a message on booking.com I would be there about that time, although I was going to send my son to check in between 4 and 7. I rang the number on booking.com it took three attempts to get an answer and it was lashing with rain outside. I checked in went back out, and came in late and left early, the shower is a bit dodgy to get working. The cat was trying to get in to the place when Ieft. There was a strong smell of cat piss in the bathroom. It served the purpose for one night but the cat is disgusting.

- Radka (4/5): -
- Colga (9/5): Very central but quiet at night. Perfect. - Very central. Clean and quiet. Garage parking in the building. Courteous host No suggestions for improvement
- Pabliuca (8/5): - Ubicación ideal en el centro de Galway el cual además dispone de aparcamiento. Cama cómoda. Para hacer el check-in es algo complicado pues hay que quedar con el dueño en la inmediaciones.
- Caolán (10/5): -
- Ravi (8/5): - The location is amazing and free parking in that kind of location in itself is a great plus. You can literally walk up to the main street where all the bars are and various other places. As advertised its not a hotel so don’t have such expectations but at the same time its a bargain to be able to stay so close to everything and not spend money on cabs to get around. Also thanks to the host for letting us checkin a little early and leave our car in the car park for a bit after the checkout so we could take a last stroll before leaving Galway. Much appreciated. Nothing major
- Gloria (3/5): Bad communication and deceiving place to stay - The parking and the central location. We didn’t feel welcomed. It seems like none of the two flatmates wanted to take care of hosting us.
The communication was terrible. I had to ask 3 times to get an answer for confirmation to know if it was possible to use the parking, and then, the instructions about how to access and exit could have been clearer, they only gave us a pointer gps pointer to the whole building. Basic information like how to do the check-out was not provided. Of course we neither got any information about the things to do nor places to see around. They only allowed communication through the booking app, what made things even slower and more complicated.
Very important to know! The real conditions of this stay are not described in the Description of the appartment section nor in the Property policies, they are in the information about the host. In my opinion, too hidden to be found easily. I learned too late that I would have to share the bathroom not only with one of the flatemates but also with her cat’s litter.
Besides that, the towels were paper thin, the slippers that they force you to wear are disgusting, and the bed sheets are great exfoliating your skin.
The flatemate that we did not meet, seems to be drunk every evening, or that’s what his flat colleague said, so she recommended us to do not have to reach them after 20h.
Do you think that’s acceptable?
I wouldn’t recommend to stay here not even to my enemies.
- WonSeok (4/5): 위치만 좋은 곳 - 위치만 좋은 곳.
이곳에서 머물기 보다는 차라리 게스트하우스를 가는게 더 마음이 편할 듯?! 체크인 하는게 쉽지 않았어요~ 호스트와 연락 후 직접 만나야 하는게 불편했습니다.
- Paul (9/5): Delighted with my stay. I highly recommend. - Great location. Clean comfortable room and facilities & very friendly welcome.
- Sagar (8/5): -
- Suzanne (10/5): -
- Larsen (8/5): -
- John (6/5): Good location - Great location close to town and only 5 minutes walk from the station. Galway's hotels are expensive so this was a better value option. Having an ensuite would have made a big difference and having to pay an extra 20 euros for a couple of hours early checkin so that I could drop my bag off early was disappointing.

- Pierre Brette (7/5): -
- Mari (9/5): - Sijainti ja parkkipaikka hyvä.Siisti huone Ohjeistus parkkeeramisesta olisi voinut olla hieman selvempi.
Yhteinen wc talon väen kanssa sellaiselle joka haluaa yksityisyyttä tämä ei ole hyvä vaihtoehto.
- rosarie (4/5): Great location, car park great, suitable for cat lovers. - location excellent, literally 2 mins from Quay Street! staff were very friendly, carpark great. peaceful, no intrusion. Good Wifi. Very responsive to messages. We knew there was a cat but we didn't realise we would be sharing bathroom with a cat litter tray. I asked for water and told to use the bathroom tap water. Told to wear slippers in apartment

- Joanne (6/5): Pleasant - The location was perfect. So close to everything. Having a parking spot too is awesome although we didn't need it. Zebra the cat was so friendly! Whilst the host was somewhat friendly, we felt he wasn't overly welcoming. He hardly responded to communication through booking.com (we were not given any other way to communicate). Also felt a bit strange that we weren't allowed anywhere in the house other than the bedroom and bathroom. Wouldn't stay here again unfortunately.
- Joan (10/5): Convenient and friendly - Friendly host, great location, parking was very convenient!
