Corrib Village (Campus Accommodation)  

Cheap and Clean!

Not completely clear how to find it.

Price

The bathroom was not clean enough To reach Galway Centre is necessary to take a taxi (9€)

It was very convienent and and the staff were very helpful :)

I didnt like the 10am check out. It should be 12pm

Lovely riverside walk adj to building.

Was basic no problem with that, but should have working lights at least!!!!! got back at around 22.45 light over bed not working no bulb {only other light a small lamp at other side of room. We contacted receptiont they sent a guy out to check he replaced bulb but light would not work.he told us we would have to wait until 8am next morning for maintenance to repair it [we were leaving next morning so no help to us!!! We were left with the small lamp on a deskfor two avid readers disaster and 1 chair in a room rented to 2 people.!!!!!! Dont think we got value for money there was plenty of empty around us we were not offered to move.Mentioned it on checkout all apoligies but empty words to us.Would need to get their act together if renting to general public. So dissappointed.

The staff were friendly and the double room was comfortable.The facilities provided in the kitchen was exceptional.The hotel was also close to town, had lots of parking facility and a big area to enjoy. the only request is to make the check out at 11 a.m instead of 10. Otherwise it is an excellent accommodation.

The bathroom can come under severe pressure when all the rooms are occupied in the block.

It was cheaper than hotels in town.

Uncomfortable,

Great location, go racing and just need a bed and shower so Corrib Village is ideal .....room clean and fresh - bathroom clean and fresh... great atmosphere around the campus.

It was good to have kitchen facilities available and also there was other facilities you could use. Eg tennis court. The room was secure, and it wasn't too far to get into town.

When we tried to get the shuttle bus it was full, and they only run each hour. It is walking distance into town, but we weren't told that. But we ended up driving in as on Sundays there is free parking. The bathrooms were dirty. I know they are shared, so won't necessarily be clean when you arrive, but they were pretty bad.

Although we were to share a bathroom, we were the only ones on the floor.

Entering the room was a shock. I went to college and expected the dorm to be small, but what I didn't expect was how grey everything was and it smelled like hamsters, wet and damp and musty. There was mold in the shower and the laminate in the bathroom was wet. Overall, for the price not a good bet. Book early in Galway to find something better.

corrib village is situated on the university campus site of the town - which means you're definetly not near the city centre; you have to walk about 20 minutes or take the shuttle bus to get there. however, it's a lovely site if you like to go running or to walk in a park-like scenery. the staff was very friendly and helpfull and they are pretty good organized - probably because they are used to deal with a great number of people arriving and leaving every day during summer. If you don't mind staying on a campus site with many (!) other people, this is a good and affordable choice.

you enter the block (house) and room you're staying in with a key-card. that might be very safe - but it is a bit awkward. you have to take the card with you whenever you leave your room for the kitchen, the bathroom or whatever. As I do like running in the morning, I deposited the key-card with the staff for that time.

It was good value, easy to find and it was clean and tidy.

I would have preferred to have been able to check out later than 10 o'clock.

Helpful staff. Reasonably priced breakfast. Nice walk into town.

Courtesy bus into town always appeared to be full. Even though not all apartments full, they locate guests next door to each other and the walls are very thin so you can hear noise from next door.

Nice price and the mini bus into the city was good but it only holds about 16 people so get on early.
