Good location.
The mobile wifi has no charger. After communicating with the host, there is no further responses.
Die zentrale Lage.
In die Jahre gekommene Ausstattung. Die Sauberkeit könnte besser sein
The location was close to the Main Street. Short walk to pubs,shops etc. The apartment came with towels and utensils. Noise wasn’t as bad as reviews said but we are much younger and tolerant. There is a hob and kitchen appliances.
First things we noticed was a really strong smell of chlorine. Annoyingly there was no towel racks so nowhere to wash hands or put the towel, the second bathroom shower didn’t work but turned on when the en-suite sink tap was turned on, spiders everywhere, there was a rip in the main bedroom window blind. The WiFi didn’t work. Unfortunately there is a smoker in the apartment across and they smoke inside their room which drafted under the door and stunk up the whole apartment. The bathrooms are modern but everything else felt outdated. Can’t complain too much with the price but the odour was definitely the worst bit. Also communication wasn’t great I messaged 10 days before on booking.com no answer then whatsapped and took 4 days to answer. Only 2 people stayed so unfortunately if you have 4 guests you will have to share the ensuite shower.
The location was amazing . Spacious .
The entrance hall could do with an upgrade but appreciate bikes may be stored there .
Sehr gute Lage im Zentrum vom Bahnhof gut Fußläufig in 15 Minuten erreichbar. Daneben gibt es ein Einkaufcenter. Schöne Küche, Badezimmer, Handtücher. Es gibt auch einen Lift. Informarion wie man den Schlüssel bekommt sehr einfach und praktisch.
Die Wohnung ist etwas hellhörig. Leider fehlt ein Gardarobenständer wo man Jacken aufhängen konnte.
Nice apartment very close to shops, bars and restaurants
Location was excellent, space was good, kitchen well stocked.
Did not like the lift to get to third floor, the hallway is very smokey coming in and out of apt. Tv did not work, water in washing machine doesn't clean clothes without smelling. Bed was not comfortable.
Located a 1m walk to main malls
The Ensuite bathroom is a bit small.
Zentrale Lage, Ruhig Sauber Gute Frühstückslokale in direkter Nachbarschaft
Tres bien site proche du centre et de la rue pietonne
The apartment was centrally located to everything you could want to do in Galway City Centre. Less than a 5 minute walk to shops, restaurants and bars. The owner reached out well in advance of our arrival to check in with us about arrival time and how to access the apartment once there. The apartment was furnished very nicely and provided a great home base while we visited. It had lovely views of the City and a nice kitchen if you wanted to cook but we just decided to dine out at some the great restaurants in Galway. We would book there again if ever in Galway and have mentioned to many friends as a comfortable and great place to stay.
There were no issues with the property.
We had a brilliant stay at this apartment in a central location.

Perfekte Lage in der Stadt. Gut mit Bus und Bahn zu erreichen. Trotzdem eher ruhig.
Gebäudekomplex nicht sehr sauber. Zigarettenrauch dringt durch die Haustür in die Wohnung. Bettwäsche nicht sauber. Keine Möglichkeit im Bad die Handtücher aufzuhängen. Schränke unappetitlich.
L emplacement la disposition de l appartement
Le bruit car les fenêtres n'étais pas isolé , la fenêtre du séjour et celle de la chambre ne ferme pas correctement.
Great location. Close to everything. Very roomy.
Some of the kitchen items were dirty or unusable. But the host provided replacements.
Location
Location was excellent
Quality of beds could be better. Windows could be repaired
Location. Roomy and clean. Nice kitcjen and batthroom.
Issue with hot water in thrme shower, but we figured it out. Host should have let us know about it beforehand. Lockbox was missing the morning of our checkout so some confusion on where to leave the key.
Location excellent, short walk to all attractions and the bakery on the corner of St Augustine Street is superb.
TV reception very poor and had to stand aerial on the top of the swing bin in the front room to get a decent reception
Great location
Poor quality furniture, very worn and uncomfortable , was not very clean.
L’ameublement, la place. Les deux salles de douches et toilettes.
The property was close to everything! There is a great little bar 3 doors down…Tony the bartender is awesome, full of history. It was nice having two bathrooms, kitchen & the washing machine. It had all the comforts of home for our group.
There were some lightbulbs that were out, the dishes in the cupboard were dirty, the washing machine took ages to dry the clothes. There was an alarm in the lobby that kept beeping.
The Apartment is cute and in the heart of the city. Everything you need for a comfortable stay is less than a 15 minute walk away. The apartment is clean and is as advertised.
There was an issue with the shower not working without messing with the sink tap. A notice about this would have been nice. Ironing equipment needs replacing. There was only one frying pan. made cooking breakfast difficult.
Muy moderno y bien ubicado, todo nuevo
Faltan muy pequeños detalles como algún perchero o pequeñas baldas en el baño para apoyar los productos de higiene en la ducha, solo por decir algo
The size of the apartment was nice
The apartment was not clean. There was no air conditioning. The living room furniture was very old and worn out. Our feet were filthy from walking around on the floors. There’s mold in one of the bathroom showers for people visiting outside the area. We were surprised by the amount of noise at this location between the birds and the street cleanerswe were up at 6 AM every morning
Good location, decent value. Spacious, and easy to access
The owner doesn’t reply on here. It’s not possible to get a hold of him. Probably thinks it’s free money to have a rental and not make any effort in messaging. No water pressure. The showers are very hard to use and get any good pressure from.
The best location. Spacious.
The double bed mattress is a spring mattress, and seems very old. You bottom out when sitting on the bed. I think the owner should replace it with a slightly higher quality mattress. Parking at Hyde Park was very expensive at 28 euros per day.
The location of the apartment is perfect
The apartment was grand nothing luxurious but had everything we needed. It could do with a bit of TLC and also the entrance and hall ways.
Easy instructions to collect keys
Nothing
The property was very central which was great as we used public transport so it so convenient to everything
No complaints
Great apartment in the middle of everything. We stayed 3 nights over Christmas, and it felt so much more like home than a hotel would have.
Loved the property, as it was our first time staying in a apartment it was a nice experience for my family, just few issues that need to be sorted.
There was dust in a few places, like behind and around the toilet area and when i sat on the bed it moved abit so i noticed alot of dust and left over food found on the side of the bed. (Pancake)z Also we had few issues with the shower, which resulted in me having a cold shower as the temperature would change without me touchinh anything. Also shower would turn off out the blue (both shower rooms) Im sure the owner can get this resolved after seeing this message.
The location was superb and we collected the keys with ease.
It didn’t appear to have been cleaned recently - flies lying on ground and window sills very dirty. We couldn’t use either shower: the electric shower in the en-suite only runs hot or cold. The other shower needs a new pump as it stops and starts.
Lovely and spacey very close to the city
very central location, very comfortable flat with plenty of space
slight smell from bathroom drains
central to every thing u needed an clean an tidy.
location was in the city centre
When we arrived at the property, it was not cleaned from the last guest and it smelt of smoke and weed. When I rang the owner he informed me he would get someone there in a couple of hours. This was at 3pm and it would have taken hours to clean and the smell would have not left the property. I was therefore unable to stay at the property and had to find alternative accommodation . I am now waiting to hear from the owner.
Location is fantastic.
Both bathrooms were mouldy, electric shower was dangerous extreme hot then extreme cold, ensuite way woo small. Main shower air locked would only work when sink taps on . No where in either bathroom to hang towels, no shelving to put tooth brushes etc. owner needs to spend a weekend living in the apt to understand what is required. Other than that the location is awesome
ease of collection
Brilliant location, clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend for anyone visiting Galway, and I hope to stay here again on my next visit.
The location was amazing. It was 2 to 3 minutes from the main street and well within walking distance of everything we needed and wanted to see. The apartment was very clean and comfortable and the fact that there are two bathrooms was an added bonus. Beds were also very comfortable. We would definitely stay there again.
Nothing.
Close to everything, apartment was set up nicely, lots of natural light, pretty quiet given location
Sitting area seating a little worn
Location was good
We were advised of a last minute change to our accommodation 3 hours before check in When we finally found the place directions were vague it hadn’t been cleaned so we didn’t get in till 6 pm certainly put a damper on the stay and I incurred costs as I had to keep calling owner got further instructions
Great location, tons of space for everyone to be comfortable.
Could have used directions on how to use the shower ;)
Location was lovely. Felt safe.
There is zero place to put anything like coats, purse, towel, or toiletries. All of our belongings were on the floor. Desperately needs some hooks to hang things. Not nearly enough linen. Burnt pot for cooking still in the kitchen. And the shower was infuriating to figure out after a long day of travel.
Perfect location - walking distance to everything and car park nearby
Very centrally located, spacious, clean, comfortable, it had everything necessary for a stay in Galway
Good instructions. Nice rooms. Excellent location. Painted recently
Keybox very hard to open. When I called on arrival I did not reach anyone. Kitchen supplies were very few (not enough plates for 4 people). Only one set of keys. One window handle broken and burnt in pot and baking pan. TV had Netflix only.
The place was shiny clean. There was an elevator to the third floor. The location from the train station was fabulous. Also the Breadbox and Dough Boys were close
It was hard to keep the heat on. It seemed to time out. There was no way the bed was more than a double. Not super romantic to have to sleep separately. 1/3 of a bottle of hand wash was provided. No body wash at all. We did not get the email giving us directions to get in. Called the owner and luckily he answered. If you are a light sleeper you will not like the noise from other apartments. Granted we were there St Pat's weekend..
Location was excellent, apartment was very roomy, comfortable beds
Needs a deep clean and updating- grimey windows/mould when open (around the rims) and floors aren’t in great condition. Host should display instructions on how to use the shower in main bathroom as there is a nack to it and I had to contact the host for instructions (host was helpful and quick to respond)
Location was excellent. Close to Eyre square, class bakery right next door. Spacious.
Great location, great size. Only thing that’s let’s it down is small details that could be easily rectified… cleanliness of the windows was a no no, I mean the frames… very mouldy and grubby. Wardrobes with old bags, other people’s clothes left. Minor details that could take this to a 5star property
Great location, Lovely clean apartment,
The lock on the door was so hard to open,
Love the location, he washing machine, and the two bedrooms.
This is quite small, but a towel bar or hook in the two bathrooms would keep us a bit tidier.
Location was fantastic.
Nothing really, only thing was really no signal for the television to get any channels.
Perfect location and great cost
Nothing
Great location
How near it is to all the streets
The TV we couldn't get it working no information on it and the shower in the main bathroom we couldn't work but all used the one in the main bedroom
The location was perfect close to everything, beds were very comfy ,I would highly recommend this apartment.
One of the windows needs to be fixed and somewhere to hang coats would have been handy but these are minor issues
Window didn't close properly. Very noisy street didn't get any sleep
perfect location, much bigger than expected, TWO bathrooms, comfortable beds
the kitchen supplies (pots, pans) need to be retired and replaced
Clean, spacious apartment in a fantastic location. Owner was very good to deal with.
