The reception staff were extremely helpful and the kitchen was very clean with lots of instructions on how to use the oven etc. Thoroughly recommend it.

These rooms are university dorms, I believe, but if you’re popping into Galway for a day or two during the summer, they’re comfortable and well kept. Staff are friendly and attentive. Parking may be an issue if you’re driving but there’s a free lot that’s maybe a five minute walk from the hotel you can use. You’re definitely away from the town centre, but we drove in so that’s no problem. Grab an Uber and it’ll probably be something like €10 to get you downtown, not bad at all. Overall, a pleasant stay!

Leggermente decentrato, una buona passeggiata per andare al centro. Camere molto semplici e poco spaziose, con condivisione sul piano della sala ristoro. Adiacente un piccolo bar per la colazione. Parcheggio interno non sempre disponibile ma esternamente si trova. Visti i prezzi di Galway, è abbastanza conveniente.

I would love to give The Westwood a 5 out of 5. The facilities are impressive. The room is efficient. The bathroom surprising chic. The commons areas are top-notch, and even better are the staff, who are friendly, warm, and helpful. My one knock is the noise, which cannot be controlled, especially during the Races. Every time a fire door shuts there is a bang, which can be disconcerting when revelers return in the wee hours. I state again, this does not reflect on the fine folks who worked hard to make our stay nice. It is more a reflection on me who needed to book a place to stay before starting a hiking trip in Inishmore. I just didn’t understand the scope of the Races. My wife and I enjoyed the walk through the campus into Galway. We found the Spar Market convenient, and we really appreciated the ease of use afforded by the laundry room. So, pack some AirPods and book your stay.

*****NOT a HOTEL******** Please read the listing very carefully, this is not a hotel. To be fair, it never says it is a hotel, but if you're using an app, you sort of expect a hotel. This is student housing (dorms) rented out during the non-school time.
It was clean and quiet. Not very spacious. You have a private bedroom and bathroom. There are common areas you also have access to. There is no AC. Bathroom and bedroom are very, very small.It suited our needs very well, but it wasn't a hotel.

Location located about 30 minutes walk from the Latin quarter of Galway. Fairly small rooms with the double bed against the wall and a wardrobe. Comfortable bathroom. There is a shared living room for meals and a kitchen. Parking in the area is difficult. Adequate accommodation for a few days.

My friend and I really enjoyed our stay here. The rooms were clean and spacious and all the facilities were well-maintained. The location was close to town and right next to a bus stop which was very convenient. The staff were pleasant and happy to help us with any questions we had.
