Jun 29, 2026Very clean, up to date, private room with private bath and QUIET! The location couldn’t have been more convenient - 50 meters from the bus station. Highly recommend for solo travelers. <100 Euros/night is great deal and better than a hostel.

Aug 6, 2026Great location. Rooms small in size and extremely warm with a plug in fan circulating hot air. I understand weather is warmer than usual but it was close to unbearable trying to sleep at night. Beds aren’t very comfortable. Expensive for what it is.

Rebecca
Aug 16, 2026Stayed in Twodio apartment - both bedrooms were extremely clean, had great fans, comfortable beds. Common area and courtyard were nice, great place to hang for a game of pool or read a book. Nearby area was quiet and close walk to nearby attractions.
Would have been nice if there were complimentary coffee/tea available. Laundry room rates were very high to comparable locations.
Only issues were: one bedroom window was broken and could only open a crack and no hairdryers were available. Had to close windows at night due to other guests being drunk and loud in courtyard in middle of night.

Jul 27, 2026The location was just perfect , 3 mins walk from Eyre square. Staff were great . Parking was extra across the road €12 for 24 hours . We booked a studio so we could have prepared breakfast but we didn’t. The only negative was we forgot our fast charger in the room and when we went back to get it there were 2 types of chargers but not ours and because we said they weren’t our one then they said they couldn’t give us either of them !!

Jun 7, 2026Excellent location right next to the bus station and 2 minutes from train station. Area felt safe and easy and short walk to main part of town. Room spacious enough with plenty of room for storage. Bathroom large and updated. Staff extremely helpful and friendly. My only complaint is that having a TV in the room would have been nice.

May 31, 2026The hotel is in a great location. Minutes from the bus station, minutes to the square a few more minutes to the Latin Quarter and all kinds of great shops. The rooms are nice but a comfortable chair would have made them great. The shared amenities are great. They have a book exchange so bring an extra book to leave behind if you’re able to.

Jun 9, 2026Interesting place to stay. Felt young again being in student housing. Very comfortable common area to sit downstairs. Perfect for singles. In the unit my cousin and I had, the doors to the bedrooms were fire doors so automatically closed and locked. (I did end up, locking myself out.)

Jun 4, 2026This was a hostel type “hotel” with no daily room cleaning. Rooms are smaller than pictured. Floor very dirty and shower was small with light water pressure and mildew.
Location is great and they provide a fan for warm nights. Our room was quiet, faced away from main road.
Staff helpful with extra towels and pillows

Jun 29, 2026This could not be in a better location. A couple minutes walk to the train station or bus station, several cafes and restaurants walking distance. A 10-minute walk to the tourist area (Spanish arch, Galway Bay, Latin quarter) it was extremely safe as we had to use our key card four times to get into our room which we appreciated. It was extremely quiet as we were on the back side. There was a shared kitchen which was great for the fridge. Our room had plenty of storage with two closets and full bookshelves. The bed was way more comfortable than I was expecting. They provided a fan as we were there during Ireland's random heatwave so we appreciated that touch. The room was clean however the floors were kind of sticky but that didn't bother us as we always wear flip-flops anyways. Would definitely stay here again for how quiet and safe and convenient it was.

Jun 6, 2026It is a student housing/cheap hotel so you do get what you pay for. It is very simple and bare bone. The room and duvet are quite warm and there is no cooling aircon, so do watch out for that.
I will say that the staff are super nice and helpful. Our shower was draining super slow and we only told them the 2nd last night of the stay. They offer to switch our room, which we did not bother as it was smaller and we only had couple more night. Regardless, hey sent someone to fix it the next day. Overall, I would stay there again, as I am not a luxury traveler and it met my needs.

Jun 19, 2026It took us about 15 minutes from arrival to actually check-in as there was just one woman at the desk who was checking folks in, answering the phone, and also answering number questions from other staff members that were interrupting her when trying to work with guests. She did her job well and professionally, but the desk was understaffed. Our first room was not cleaned properly (dirty toilet, rubbish in wardrobe) and the sink did not drain, so we requested another room, which was luckily was cleaned. The bed is pressed against the wall and seemed smaller than a double because of this (fine for one person, but more difficult for two sharing). Hotel is in a great location with lots of amenities and was a decent price, but I will not be returning.
