City Centre Dockside Apartment - 2 Bed, 2 Bath

La posizione, cucina e living

Rumori del porto la mattina presto

Muy cómodo y céntrico. Además tenía plaza de garaje.

l’appartement est très bien situé près de la vie nocturne de Galway. Le parking réservé juste à côté est très appréciable. La résidence était calme (mi mai) et chaque chambre profite d’une salle de bain.

L’absence de rideaux occultant dans les chambres pour la lumière du jour avec un soleil qui se lève très tôt, nous ne sommes pas habitués en France !

Location

Very poor communication with Malcolm the host. I called because WiFi wasn’t working. He said he would call back but never did. We got it sorted out and I texted him we did. But no response. The day we left I had a couple questions. I called him on my phone. Seem like he blocked the number or something and I tried through WhatsApp a text and a phone call and never a response. That goes a long ways for me so I think people should know that Malcolm is a very poor communicator for his guests. I would never do that to a guest.

The location and the manager went above and beyond to get us in a little early. We were exhausted as we came in from the US and had flown all night.

The description of the location and the lockbox with the keys. We struggled for 30 minutes finding both. The description should be clearer.

Location, decor, clean, comfortable space

We love hot water for long showers, fitted mattresses sheets were not clean/had hair.

I liked that it was so close to the Latin quarter so you could walk 5 minutes and be at all the restaurants and bars. The apartment also overlooks the bay which was pretty to see. I also had a hiccup getting into the apartment because the keys weren’t where they were supposed to be but the owner was very quick to get in touch with to help me figure the problem out.

The apartment smelled like jalapeños (only thing I could think of that is smelled like) and even leaving the windows open… the smell wouldn’t go away. Also the WiFi DOESNT WORK. So it will say you are connected but in reality you’re not and for someone who needed the WiFi to keep in contact with people it was frustrating. The instructions also were a bit confusing getting there because booking.com says dock road but it’s not its dock street. There is a dock road in Galway so just be mindful.

Good location. Near the heart of the city

While the complex was located in a great part of the city, finding the apartment key and the room itself was like a scavenger hunt. The listing described the beds as king-sized, but this was not the case. Also, during our stay, the Wi-Fi went out, and the owner was unresponsive when we asked for additional help through the issue.

The closeness of the condo to the Christmas market.

The washer dryer combo. But I am from Canada and not used to the dryer. Other than that, fine place

The apartment was ok. Very comfortable, warm and pleasant. Easy enough to find, really good that there is parking available. Lovely size rooms, bathrooms, overall apartment larger than it looked in pictures.

There were a few issues, none that would stop us staying again, but given the price these should be addressed. The smell in the bathrooms, mentioned by almost all the reviews. This is obviously a drainage issue and needs to be looked at. We purchased additional airfreshener devices to place in each bathroom which helped cover the smell but it was still there. There was no wifi for the entire duration. We were being prompted to purchase a contract/ pay a bill. We contacted the host who said he would sort this out, but it still didn't go on. Stains. The apartment itself is very clean, we could not fault that. Plenty of towels, no tea towel though so unable to dry dishes once washed. The pillows and cushions on the bed are all stained which is off putting considering this is where you sleep. A small investment into new pillows/ bedding would make such a difference. In one of the bedrooms, the wardrobes were full with household/ building supplies which made the majority of the wardrobe unusable by guests. There were paint pots, tools etc.

Emplacement parfait, sur le port, à quelques centaines de mètres du centre de Galway. Salon agréable, cuisine bien équipée. Les lits étaient confortables et de (très) grande taille.

Une odeur désagréable dans la salle de bain attenante à la chambre avec un problème d'évacuation de l'eau. Quelques difficultés à trouver la localisation de l'appartement (pas d'adresse précise donnée) et la boite à clé (la boite à clé du dessus n'a plus de sticker orange !)

Good location and view

There was a bad smell in kitchen/living room. Probably from old damp patch.

The location was excellent. The flat was well equipped.

Access was atrocious. We had to find a lockbox among hundreds on the street. Information to locate it had not been updated so we could not find it. All the information about access and finding the garage was inadequate. Communication was poor, guy on the end of the phone rude. Never again.

Location, free parking. Directions to access the apartment and parking were detailed and easy to understand, except there was supposed to be an orange dot on one of the lock boxes and there wasn't.

Apartment had a musty odor. Washer worked, dryer did not. There were water stains in the kitchen ceiling above the sink and in the cabinets. For what we paid I expected better. Scrap yard across the way very noisy.

The location was great - enjoyed the view of the marina and harbour. Being so close to the pedestrian streets and nightlife was fun.

Overall our experience was good, but we felt there could have been a couple of more kitchen amenities as we like to use the kitchen sometimes while staying in an apartment (dish towel, paper towels) Manuals for the washer/dryer would help as well. Bedside lamps would also be nice. The directions for the location of the apartment need tweaking. The address says Dock Road but it is actually Dock ‘Street’ which makes a difference. It would certainly help with finding the lockbox and garage. I hope that this can be corrected so that others have an easier time reaching their destination. With the help of a local fellow we found it.

The location is incredible, walking distance from Main attractions in Galway. Beautiful view ,and apartment would be perfect if they did maintenance on plumbing/ smell and a deep clean is needed.

There is an awful smell throughout the property, the bathrooms especially. There’s mould all over the kitchen presses and the pillows on the bed are very dirty. A used dirty dish cloth left in the sink.

Die Lage der Unterkunft.

Good location . Short walk to town. Good wifi . Comfortable overall including the bed so we slept well .

Key pick up was difficult - wrong number given to us and only 2 boxes when we were told to look for 3 . Only got in because the cleaner turned up just after 3pm which was our agreed check in time . She gave us the keys and we went up to the apartment and she said she would come up to finish the cleaning which hadn't actually been started so we had to go away for well over an hour and carrying on paying for car parking. We saw the cleaners car when we went to look at where we would park and we saw the same car parked in our space when we returned another day from going out so we paid for parking that day as well . There was a horrible drain smell in the smaller bathroom which seemed to build up over the day and overnight. There was a lot of mold on the grouting and trim and ceiling in the bathrooms so fans didn't seem adequate . The drier didn't work and after looking at other comments probably hasn't worked in months which may have contributed to the damp as there is no alternative apart from drying clothes indoors. As there was an instruction from block management not to open windows as cleaning was due the washing took even longer to dry out .We had to get code from the host to leave the key as we still have the right code to unlock the box when we left. The TV is smart but not connected to an aerial so only option is streaming . It looks as if water has leaked in from the flat above into the kitchen which may also contribute to dampness . No pillowcases for spare pillows so went to Pennys and bought some for our use . Considering the cost of the apartment all things mentioned should be attended to as a matter of course

Location is amazing! Great parking, our host was very attentive and responsive.

The instructions for entry were difficult, but could be remedied by Malcolm putting a bright ribbon on his lock to better identify it. The building and apartment smelled like cigarette smoke, but Malcolm has a clear instruction in the apartment to only smoke outside. Perhaps the previous guest did not follow this. The pillows were very hard and soiled, so the first night sleep was poor. The following day I called Malcolm and he brought over 4 new, very comfy pillows. Problem solved! We also expected king size beds based on the write up, but both of the beds are queen. Malcolm should remedy this in his write up. We would also suggest that he get a coffee maker. All of that whining being said, any remedies to these concerns could be easily taken care of and our rating would immediately go up to excellent.

Location was fabulous Beds were really comfy Host was available by phone to assist with locating carpark.

Being told the lock box was secure when it is obviously broken and can be disconnected from the pole. Having only one key for two couples and no where to leave the single key for both to use was annoying. The instruction for location of carpark mentioned an "arch" which is a curved structure was misleading. The instruction saying the lockbox was one of 3 but there were only two lock boxes was misleading. The instruction for putting out the rubbish is ambiguous. The wifi worked initially when we arrived and next day it would not work and nor would TV. Response was where to locate network and password details but this was not the issue. There was no shower mat in ensuite. There is no lock on door of second bathroom The dish cloth was old and dirty. The bathrooms had a weird smell. Some of us thought it was the plumbing, I thought it maybe mould?

Location brilliant. Balcony fantastic. Great size

Maybe an odour in the bathrooms from the plumbing but maybe this was an issue out of the control of the property owners.

- cleanliness!!! - location!!!!

nothing!

Great location within walking distance to city centre. Clean and comfortable apartment. Great that it had a washing machine and a carpark space.

There was a a sewerage like smell coming from the main bedroom bathroom.

While the washing machine worked, the dryer did not.

The apartment was perfect!

The address on the booking was incorrect so it caused some issues when find the apartment. Directions were vague and could have been more specific when arrival instructions were sent but we were able to eventually find it.

Clean, beautiful, terrific views, very walkable, safe on site parking, responsive host, close to all we wanted to do in Galway!

Initially we had a hard time finding the parking garage. Host was incredibly responsive and helpful!

Beautiful harbor views a few blocks from the Latin Quarter. Large living and kitchen. Very nice to have 2 bathrooms for family. Malcolm was very responsive sorting out access. Would stay again

There is a bit of noise across the street from a scrap metal recycling yard. Although fascinating to watch the claw machine operator at work. Starts at 8am so not a big impact on sleep.

Clean, comfortable, close to city center.

Hard pillows, limited dishware, view of recycling on pier.

The location was ideal for our short stay and the accommodation had all we needed

everything. beautiful apartment. location perfect.

The location was great. Walking distance to everything in Galway. Loved looking out at the boats. the apartment was very roomy and bright. The communication for the check in was spot on.

Everything was wonderful!

Easy walk from train station. Great view of harbor. Easy walk to shops, bars and restaurants in central area. Management quick to reply and answer questions. Would recommend to others.

The flat was wonderful, comfortable, clean, great view, great location, free parking available.

The key pickup! The directions were that there was a lockbox on a railing across from an entry. Well, there were probably 20 lockboxes, at the bottom of the railing just off the ground, and the one for this flat actually wasn't across from the entry indicated. If someone had difficulty getting down on the ground or if it were at night, I've no idea how they would make this work, it would be extremely difficult. As it was, it took me about 10 tries to find the right lockbox. Now, perhaps the host will make other arrangements if asked, but one would have to know to ask.

Ideal accommodation and location

The property was bright and clean. The location was perfect so close to everything and the car park space was a plus!! Highly recommended

Lovely location close to everything it was very clean and tidy

Pillows were a bit too hard…that’s all

Perfect location. Everything was spacious and clean. The kitchen was well enough equipped and the decor was very pretty and so were the views. The building felt safe and everything seemed new. Beds were comfortable and spacious.

The only critic I have is that there was no hand soap and barely any toilet paper upon arrival. Could also do with somewhere to hang up the clothes (like a rack) as the dryer did not work. These are minor issues though.

The location is close to pubs/restaurants/ shops and Eyre square. Safe and peaceful & atmospheric. WiFi provided was a bonus with access to movie apps on tv. Balcony view overlooks the dock and is very relaxing.

On arrival the apartment looked clean and tidy, but on closer inspection thorough deep clean is recommended

great location, clean, wonderful host

Apartment was spotless, well furnished, very comfortable and the location was amazing

The views and the location. Also felt it was a good value for the money.

The process of getting the key and finding the place wasn’t smooth.

Great location and perfect space for two couples. Looking out over the dock was fascinating. We walked to everything within a few minutes and it was great to have a free locked car park for our rental car. Access was easy once we got the directions.

Incredible view and outstanding location. We would go again.

We didn't receive the check-in instructions until after the check-in time, which meant we spent €10 on a public carpark. The instructions to find the key were not clear. Stairwells and landings in the building are grim but don't let that put you off, the apartment itself is very clean. Bathrooms are very tight

The location was amazing. The views were stunning. The decoration throughout was great. The showers were brilliant and the beds were very comfortable.
