The location was great and accesible, it was very close to a bus stop that connected with the cuty centre. The check-in was very easy and the staff attentive. It was also clean and silence.

Stayed at the Westwood for a week while attending a conference at the University of Galway. I've not complaints about the place or the staff. Indeed, I quite enjoyed my stay there and would certainly consider staying there again. This said, there are two things I wish I had known about before deciding to stay there: (1) Unless you have your own vehicle, you're largely dependent on bus 404 or taxi to get to/from the city centre (it's a good 50-60min walk each way); and (2) there's no food/drink options in the immediate vicinity by other than a Spar. This said, the food at Kelehan's Bar & Restaurant, which is about 1.5km further up the N59, is superb; as are the pints.

This was a great location, not too far from the city centre. The room was clean and the property was well taken care of, though the room was quite warm. Access to shared kitchen and sitting room (with TV), as well.

I believed from the description that this was a hotel but is not a hotel, it is student accommodation.

It was a convenient area but unfortunately the bathroom wasn’t very clean (hairs all through the shower etc) and I wish some travel shampoo or soap was provided. The bed was also just made with a top sheet draped over the mattress. Not a terrible place to stay and was quiet but don’t think it was worth the price.

Good value accommodation, let down by poor cleaning standards. The room could do with a deep clean. The floor was dirty. The bathroom was not very clean. There were long dark black hairs everywhere in the room and bathroom when we arrived. The room is small as you would expect from student accommodation but it is well equipped and fine for a short stay. The shared area; kitchen / diner / seating area with TV was nice to have but again everything needed a deep clean. The location is pretty quiet.

This was not a good experience. The paid parking was not available as there are hardly any spots. The room was very small and extremely hot to sleep in. Also very noisy, we were woken up multiple times from people in the hallway closing their doors. The way the door is design it slams shut.

This is good for those who just ned a bed at the end of the day and are more up for site-seeing. Its provides the basics. Location was good for me that I was away from the city center it was quiet it was Secure very minimal of course because it's College residence it was a 30-minute walk to go downtown but only a 10-minute walk to Tesco & 15 min where the boutique shops were located.

Better than expected, knowing it was student accommodation. Cleanliness and Bathroom facilities were first rate. Having the kitchen space was good too. Fairly quiet, even though on a main road. The staff were really helpful.

Very close and walkable to north campus of U of Galway. The room was clean and supplied with sheets/duvet, towels, bath tissue and soap. No other amenities, although I believe guests can request some toiletries as well as a hair dryer. The room was quite warm with no individual control of the thermostat. Staff promptly delivered a fan to the room when I inquired. The kitchen/common area on my floor was clean. I think some basic instructions for the appliances would be helpful for guests from other countries. A clean and safe accommodation for budget travel.

VERY basic accommodations-- only 2 towels provided and not even any toiletries whatsoever (other than a tiny bar of soap). Even to get a hair dryer, we had to pick it up at the front desk. The place is pretty new, but so everything was in good shape. I will I would not complain except that in all the hotels we stayed at during our 11 day trip throughout Ireland, this was the most expensive, yet the least to offer. I understand that the prices were jacked up because of the horse races going on the week we were in Galway but as one of the locals I was talked to on a bus, I was it was inexcusable to charge so much. Even she was shocked and disgusted when I told her how much we paid.

We knew it was summer housing with limited facilities. No surprise there. Housing was clean. But students made lot of noise outside our room both nights we were there. Laundry is about 10 euros. Bus to city is twice in a hour.

A nice place to stay for budget friendly traveling, but there is no A/C and no fans which made it very uncomfortable for a few nights during the summer. Otherwise it was nice, clean, and comfortable.
