Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Overall the room was very nice and comfortable and easy location to the city. Very relaxing area by the park. Also we loved our passports in the room and thank God we were coming back two days later and the hostess was gracious enough to keep them locked away and safe. Great! Also the coffee shop next door is really good!
This is just personal preference but I'm not a huge fan of the whole shower room idea. It's impossible to keep anything dry.
Loved everything . Bed so comfy bedroom was beautiful as well as the house. Bathroom was a wet room and it was huge. Lovely and peaceful in that location and our host got up next morning to say goodbye that was first time it happened to us
Nothing
The location was great for my purpose. Ger was super friendly and helpful. Check in is extremely simple and straightforward. Good coffee next door is a great bonus.
Nothing to dislike.
I needed to be close to the hospital and it was minutes away so perfect for my requirements . Lovely owner and great little cafe next door . Coffee machine in the room which was a great bonus .
struggle to find wifi password but got there in the end!
Very clean and quiet. There was literally a Park View and coffee shop just steps away. Nice suburban neighborhood and very peaceful.
It was a little far from the city centre but the bus stop was an only a short walk. We actually walked in to town in about 30 minutes and enjoyed it.
The area was excellent, really quiet place, perfect for a good night of sleep, the room very clean, with a small refrigerator in case you need, the gave us water muffin , coffee, so it has more than i expected, recommended place, the caffe of the place near it was great, Ger was very nice with us.
Nothing
Nice fluffy towels.
Location! Lack of communication with host! No wifi code provided! Awful bed! Broken blind! I’ll fitting toilet seat! Would not recommend! Totally overpriced! Had to ask for milk and sugar for tea!
Ger was absolutely pleasant!! Communication was great, room was tidy clean, made for a comfortable stay. Coffee at the cafe next door was the best. Location was great, as we were attending Kingfisher Sports club
Absolutely nothing
Not a single thing, this was not up to the standard, that we have paid for.
Location was great.
No TV in room.
I have never written a review. But, I had to share my positive experience as this was outstanding. Lovely facilities and Ger was so helpful. The small coffee shop is beside the house was also a lovely addition. Great shower facilities and bed.
Absolute serene environment, perfect chilled out place if you looking for a budget quiet place out of city.
Room was comfortable and facilities and little extras were appreciated.
A TV would have been good to watch the sporting events taking place at the time when pubs weren't open.
Brilliant location, excellent staff, very good rate for apartments
Nothing
Good information and breakfast conviniant
We didn’t stay here. We had to find accommodation elsewhere late in the afternoon, due to the owner not responding until late.
Communication was poor throughout the whole booking process, no instructions were sent as to what to do for check in. We were told “you should have knocked” how are we to know the host lives up stairs? We waited for 10mins in the driveway after msging and calling with no response. We went into town for a few hours before deciding we had to find accommodation elsewhere as it was getting later in the afternoon. We lost our money on what seems to be quite and expensive stay looking at other reviews from this property. Communicate to guests in future with what to do when they arrive a few days before hand so they don’t end up like us.
It was in a good location
The bed was broken and mattress was not comfortable at all. We stayed on 24th Dec when everything was closed, wanted to boil water in the kettle but it had limescale. Luckily had enough fuel and Chose to travel back to Dublin instead and cancelled all our travel plans for the next day.
Great location & comfortable bed. Would stay here again. Good facilities in room. Thanks Ger
Very nice owner
Very nice and silent suburbs area; very comfortable and clean room; the owner is very kind. I would only suggest that adding a shower cabin would make the bathroom more comfortable.
The room was clean, quiet and spacious, very well located in relation to the city centre, and the host was very friendly
Really good communication with the owner. She gave us good recomendations about the city and the place was lovely.
Very good location close to the city centre. Ample parking provided. Set in a very quite open air location with greenery at your door step. Room was very clean and the host was very friendly and helpful
The property was so clean and tidy with plenty of space with big clear windows giving a spectacular view of the outdoors. And it was so conducive and quiet place for peaceful mind away from the busy city life.
The place is very nice, the neighborhood was quiet and calm. you can easily get to the city centre by bus. If you rent a car, there is no problem with parking. It was definitely a good idea to stay there
Everything was great
Clean and quiet, well priced for the city. Communication was clear and quick
Thin walls, creaky uncomfortable bed, squeaky floors, the bathroom was a combo toilet and shower wet area which was a bit odd (I totally get why they did it, but it did make the toilet wet). They did warn us about the dog, but it wasn't nice to be barked at whenever we came in. I think the place has potential, with a bit of investment and care it could be a more pleasant stay.
The bed 🥹
The host went beyong what is expected. I needed to cancel one night due to change of plans and she obliged with only a cost to cleaning.
Everything, hostess a lovely lady,who looked after the place well
Spacious and clean.
Had a great time here. Room was very clean and spacious. Ger was very accommodating with check in/out. Great location from bus stop. Will definitely come back again.
nice owner, good coffee next door, very cute dog Floki, it was clean
The room was nice and clean, comfortable.
It's a bit outside the town, but Galway Centre is just 10 minutes away by public bus (runs every 30 min), bus stop is 3 minutes walk from the house.
Proximity to the city
It's in a housing estate, so a little effort needed to go to shop/breakfast etc.
The owner was lovely and gave us complimentary drinks from her son's coffee shop a few doors down.
Very homey. Host was very accommodating
NA
Very nice and warm,hostess was very accommodating and little coffee shop nextdoor was a nice touch
Remember, doors are black, not red!
We enjoyed our short stay at Park View in Galway. The room was one of the largest we had all trip. It's well presented, clean and comfortable. Our host Ger is very friendly and we had a couple of good chats. The room is located on the ground floor at the back of the property so getting bags in and out is easy. Parking at the front is also a bonus. Nice view of the park across the road. For travel into the centre of Galway you will need to either catch public transport or drive. If you have time the nearby coffee shop is well worth a visit. One tip the property is next door to the house with the red door.
Nothing. All fine.
Everything! Such a lovely place to stay. Huge room, comfy bed and pillows - great sleep, beautifully decorated, quiet, fridge, snacks, tea and coffee, free bottled water, kettle, iron, hot shower, good WiFi, felt safe. Easy 5 minute walk to bus (#404) to city (10 minutes). Cafe 2 doors down. The owner Ger is very helpful and friendly. I’d definitely stay here again!
Nothing - everything was great.
It was a very quick and short bus trip to the city which made it an affordable accommodation not too far away (in travel time) from the city. Very clean and friendly residents.
Nothing. It was a very good stay.
The hospitality and warmness of the host. The peaceful enviroment
A bit far from the city center
- The accomodation was fairly quiet, it is also located residential zone, so no traffic noise or other - Parking was easy & free - iron and Ironing board provided - Lots of snacks and drinks as goodies (which we didn't take though)
- The room was, as far as I can tell, part of their private home. The hosts own a dog, which was introduced to us shortly after we arrived. However, the owners headed out and left the dog alone at home. During that time the dog was constantly howling and yapping for their owners to return. That was all fine, but when we wanted to also leave the house, the dog was barking and growling at us. It turned out all fine in the end, but I was really stressed out, because I don't feel safe around dogs. - the room was really due for a vaccuum. The floors of the room very insanely dusty. - Also, I get that it safes space to install a wet room, but it is just highly inconvenient
The photo includes and focuses on a red door, which is of the neighbor's place and not the house itself, which is nextdoor.
the host Ger is very welcoming, the location is close to Galway university, its very handly for anyone attending a conference
We liked the location in relation to accessing surrounds, the bedroom space, newness, and having a fridge.
We did not like the combined shower, toilet and basin: after a shower the whole area was flooded! We didn’t have any toilet paper until the following morning after two request messages. We did not even meet our host: personal face:face contact makes a huge difference! “Park View” was totally stretching it…the grassed area/park was not visible from our apartment!
Large room, walk in wardrobe area, kit Kats and water supplied, with fridge and tea, coffee. Ideal location for a wedding in the Glenlo
Fridge makes a lot of noise, view out the window could do with a pop of colour
The host was super helpful in every case! Also offered milk for morning-coffee.
Shower should be separated by a shower curtain.
Lovely host who has set up the room nicely. Lovely decor and a nice spacious room. So handy to park outside in the big nice estate which has a great vibe to it. Geraldine sorted us out by getting in touch with me and I had everything I needed. I got it as a getaway for my partner's birthday and it was a lovely weekend away as we also got to visit Lough Corrib including the stunning viewing point which is a must, directions: 53.485472, -9.455206 and Irish Vegan Gala festival which hopefully will come again next year. Bridit's garden is also worth a visit. Thank you for looking after us Geraldine. All the best!
Friendly host and nice facilities in the room
5 min walk to the bus stop to town which only took 5 minutes, friendly and helpful host, spotless modern room. Loved the wet room. Very close to the hospital .free parking was a bonus too. áit alainn I gcroí na Gaillimhe ☘️
excellent and friendly host
very close to the city, lovely big room with a shower and tea and coffee making facilities. Ger is lovely and made checking in and out very simple. we look forward to staying again.
Perfect pad. Will use again when in Galway.
My girlfriend and I really enjoyed our stay. Ger was very hospitable and gave us great tips on places near by and advice on busses for getting in to town. Would highly recommend if you are looking for somewhere affordable and very close to Galway City.
Very comfortable self contained double room.
N/A
Not very much...useful to have fridge
Bedroom furniture impractical. Very small wetroom. Lack of facilities...but very expensive. Unkempt garden...no signage
Location very rough. Host had to put up CCTV To protect property No view just field and house opposite in a very poor area. Didn't like anything at all very depressing!!
The promised kettle as advertised, maybe a working TV! And in a better location. People upstairs very loud.
