Gort Na Coiribe - Galway Lakeside Apartments

The property was clean and bright.

When I booked it, I couldn’t tell the exact location.

We liked the spaciousness , proximity to supermarkets and ability to park the car. Appreciated cooking oil, tea, coffee pods, s&p and that the kitchen had all we needed. When we had a hot water problem it was sorted immediately.

The beds were rather firm and the whole apartment was a bit tired. It was a bit inconvenient to have restrictions on hot water times especially as we arrived late.

Spacious apartment Nice location

Nothing

It was more space than we needed, it was nice to have a kitchen and ensuite laundry. There is a shopping centre about 10 minutes walk away. You can buy groceries, takeaway(Nandos) and there is a decent butcher.

The check in/out times are not industry standard. Check in is 4pm and checkout is 10am. I got a ‘gentle reminder’ email about the check out time. Normally, I would accept this, however the room was not completely serviced when we self-checked in after 4:30pm. The double bed had yet to be made and only one bath towel in place. The instructions for hot water are not wholly accurate. They imply hot water is available between specific hours in the morning and again in the evening, however, if you do not push the boost button and wait 20-30mins., you will not have any hot water - we had to figure that out on our own. Also, the only wall heaters that worked were in the bedrooms. The heaters in the kitchen/living are did not work at all and the weather in the evenings was around 9C so some heat would have been nice. Other reviews said it was close to Galway town centre but realistically it is a full 22+ minute walk.
