University of Galway Rooms

3.0 star property
7.6 out of 10, Good, (4)
"Beautiful area and amazing to walk around. It’s easier to walk through the university campus than to walk around it (I made that mistake on arrival). It would be nice if the property provided some coffee and tea. I’ve never seen any place that didn’t provide that (including several university accommodations). "

2.0 star property
7.0 out of 10, Good, (2)
"Budget accommodation without the manky factor, on lovely campus. Helpful staff. Bed not so comfortable, but everything clean and fresh. Shower a problem - impossible to adjust or aim, stinging pressure but mostly missed your body and soaked your hair. In all, enjoyed our stay, and felt it was good value. "

The Savoy Hostel

2.0 star property
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (31)
"Easy check in, good facilities and generally clean. Some guests brought plates and food into the rooms which were left there overnight. Also some guests being very loud at 3am in the supposedly quiet area, when there is a common room downstairs. Staff need to enforce the rules to ensure comfort for all guests. Rooms a little warm and stuffy but much better than most hostels, comfortable beds, storage lockers and plugs/reading lights/usb at each bed."
