71%Corrib Village

It's a really good idea to use student village in summer for tourists. It's confortable and easy to prk your car. You must make more communication about the concept.

Apart from the location (a bit far from Galway city centre, had to take a bus-rarely coming in-or go for a cab) everything was great. Good customer service, own clean room and a living room to share. Unfortunately rooms available only outside of shcool period as it is a university residence (so...

We really enjoyed the stay in Corrib Village that one day. With paying 7 Euros, you get to use the kitchen and living room, which is shared with only 4 rooms. In our case, we got to use it all alone.

More like a Stepford village than a hostel. There is no community at all and it is incredibly away from everything.

Awful!!! The bathroom was disgusting and despite 3 requests wasn't cleaned. We were expected to move rooms halfway through our stay and they deactivated the door key while we were in the shower! I could not recommend a place less. AWFUL!!

Really great place and good value for money. We got our own room and the beds were comfy, the breakfast was good too. Would recommend staying here. It's not in the centre of Galway, it's a 25 minute walk in to town.

Thia ian't the worst place I've stayed, but it lost points for being so far away. The walk to the city is about 20 minutes! Still, things were clean, it was safe and everyone who worked there was extremely helpful.

As a recent graduate I know what student accommodation is like, also my boyfriend once resided here as a student. Both of us were not impressed with the place. I've stayed in much nicer places for the same price on the continent which goes to show the difference in value for money between here...

It was the only place where my friend and I stayed in a two person room which was nice and very secure. I wish there was more than one shower on the hall. The staff was all very nice and accommodating and they had cheap laundry and we were also able to check out a hair dryer.

The only bad thing is the location because we had to take a taxi into town but if you can find people to taxi into town with then it's not as expensive.close

You are staying in college dorm rooms, but they were very clean and you have the option of having inexpensive private rooms. Bigger shuttles that run later into the night would be the only big thing that would make the stay better.

For the quality offered the price I paid for a single room was a real bargain. The place is located really far away from the city center though (a good 45 minute walk). I would recommend it for people traveling by car. A shuttlebus is available but it only starts at noon.

The room was great, and the staff were friendly. Although, i figured that a day of internet meant that you had until check out the next day, not just until some time in t he night.

it was a good place to spend as a group with cooking. if you use it as a hostel, you'd better prepare some food to eat, beer is too! :-) and you should walk for 20 to 30 ms from city center.

The room smelled like hell!!! I think it was the painting or the cleaning agent. Left the window open the whole day, but could`nt get rid of it. if you open the window, it is always open in a way everybody could get in thru the window.

The village was within walking distance of downtown Galway, but far enough away to feel the serenity of a quiet night's sleep. Staff was friendly and the room was cleaned every day! We loved having a fully stocked kitchen with all the comforts of home.

It is located too far out of the town to walk to, but getting taxi's are easy once you call for one. It should cost around €7. Rooms are great & clean too. Overall suits students/budget seekers perfectly.
