Liked: Lots of free parking, good amenities. Rooms were spacious and clean.
Disliked: Very late check in (4pm) and early check out (10am) so if your staying for one night its not really worth your while. Very busy during race week - staff were unable to cope with numbers. We booked an apt for 4 and were put in separate apartments.

Liked: Free shuttle bus. Most of the staff were very friendly and efficient.
Disliked: It was difficult to find on foot as there was no information on how to get there from the train station and the directions that printed off with the booking were really only for people who were traveling by car.

Liked: Got a single room (not ensuite but bathroom right next door !) for only 20e, bargain!! 20min walk into town but worth it for the cheap rate!! there was also a kitchen area with tv which is handy if you want to cook your own food.
Disliked: No character as such, and it was a bit of a trek into town, but there's a free bus shuttle service on the hour from 12-7pm, the shop is crap though and the caf's only open for brekie, you do get a brekie voucher but bring food as the nearest place to get food is the centra 10min away, and otherwise, into town. however there are cooking facilities you can use. if you're on a budget though it's the cheapest i could find and the room was clean.

Liked: We paid to have access to the kitchen and lounge which was of benefit to us. The kitchen was well equipped, microwave, plates, cutlery, fridge and freezer
Disliked: Although it is basically a students campus, the general repair was quiet poor, bathroom particularly not very clean.

Liked: Private rooms at very cheap rates. Shared bathroom, but only with a couple of other rooms
Disliked: Arrived in town on dusk and without knowing shortcuts the walk would be very long (over 40mins and easy to take a wrong turn). It's 8 euros in a taxi, and the direct footpath is still 20-25mins at a good pace The rooms are private which is nice, but also means there is no communal areas to meet/socialise with fellow travellers, nor is there pubs/restaurants etc nearby for meals. Good for a one night stay if you want to get things done such as recharge all your gadgets in a secure location that you don't have to watch over, or sort through photos for a few hours etc. Internet connection is strong and quick and quite cheap for 24hour access.

Liked: Good value for money.
Disliked: No mention of free shuttle from Eyre Square to Corrib Village, and directions provided on their site are confusing ... I spent 1.5hr looking for the place with all my bags. Wireless internet didn't work and IT seemed content with that.

Liked: The breakfast.The place is tidy.The staff was very nice and helpful: advices, informations, directions etc...The shuttle to town.
Disliked: We didn't get that at the begining but corrib village is... a hollyday village. A part of it was under construction.. unfortulately that was the first thing you see when arriving. The actual location being hidden behind buildings under construction. At first we supposed the place didn't exist at all ! The room was small, which is not a problem, but there was no common rest room and one had to pay 7 extra € to access self-catering space. The "village" restaurant was closed, and the small don't really sell much things (at high prices). All in all we had to go back to a small market we saw on the road (10 min away). When you don't know where to cross through university that's pretty long to find by foot. There are shuttles to center town but if you feel like getting out for half and hour to have a beer... you just can't... town center seems far away at 22h when you feel tired.

Liked: The staff were friendly and the room was pretty good and good value for money, great breakfast
Disliked: Galway is a little bit of a walk away, not super far, probably about 10-15 mins, and because its university halls there isn't really much of an atmosphere or opportunity to meet people if you're travelling alone.

Liked: clean rooms, friendly staff, pretty nice little breakfast spread.
Disliked: somewhat inconvenient location. if you don't mind walking - an admitedly easy - 40 minutes into town you'll be fine, but the trek can become tiresome. shuttle buses run every hour, but not before 12pm, which is kind of strange and makes it hard if you're catching a bus or have plans in town before noon. in short, if you don't have your own transportation and aren't big on walking, you'd do best to look elsewhere.

Liked: Once I managed to find it, it was a great place to relax and enjoy the campus area. There is plenty to do if you like going to Recreational Centres, but is a bit of a walk to the town centre.
Disliked: Not really a place to meet people since it is kind of run like a hotel and they have a great deal of rooms to put people in, lowering your chances to meet other travellers.
