The Westwood

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.

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!

Property was very clean and friendly, nice and quiet. Staff was very helpful.

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.

Well proportioned apartments and personal bedrooms. You’ll find everything you need in the shared kitchen/living room area as well. Modern really clean and an on-site spar shop to get the necessities too. Carpark img payable for €6 a day and within a 20 min walk of the university of Galway and 30 mins to Eyre square or take the bus located right at the spar shop

*****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.

This would work for a college student traveling alone, but not for a family or even a couple. This is bare bones campus living. It is close to a convenience store so at least you can get coffee in the morning. Staff did not seem overly eager to be helpful. Rooms were clean

It was a great time spent in Galway. The hotel service was very helpful. The room was suitable for one person. A lot of space for your clothes. Desk to work. The only problem was with the electric socket because I didn't have an adapter for my charger. Hope to come back.
