Gort Na Coiribe - Galway Lakeside Apartments

It was in a quiet area outside of the Galway tourist area but within walking distance of a major shopping area. It was a short walk to the bus stop to get to and from Eyer Square. There was a really nice living room seating area and dinning room where our entire party could gather and eat or talk.

It was a little bit farther away from the historic area of Galway and took a bit of a walk and bus ride to get there.

We were a group of 3 friends, and the apartment was very spacious with each of us having our own bedroom - it could easily fit a bigger group. The apartment was also well equipped with a kitchen and washing machine, and free parking. Easy to access by car and on foot when exploring the city and beyond.

N/A - it was great overall, instructions were easy to follow.

Great location and facilities. Lovely apartment with plenty of parking.

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.
