Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The property is in a really nice development. Walk to sea front only 5 mins.
Negative: Had problems opening the key lock box, needed a small screw driver to prise it open. Parking is tight. and a hike to the apartment if one has lots of stuff to get from car. Shower in en-suits needs maintenance. Traffic in and around Galway is mad.
Summary: Nice place spoilt by minor irritations.

Positive: Once located, excellent instructions for access (entry) to property via text.
Negative: A little harder to find than it needs to be. Of course, once you find it, there is the "ah-ha" moment. Maybe a better photo of the parking area. Took 15 mins but that could be my personal stupidity. lol
Summary: I like it, I love it, Want more of it!

Reviewer Type: Family With Children
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Great location and very clean.
Negative: I was traveling with my 85 year old Aunt. The unit is one level, but parking is on another level. This was not disclosed. Ran out of hot water and the flow and temperature of the showers are poor. Toilet seat in the main bathroom needs attention. It moves around and the bolts need tightening. The lid closes on you like a clam shell when seated on it. Reached out regarding the water and was given a lousy excuse initially. Someone else contacted me and unfortunately with her advice we still did not have hot water at the sink taps. I find this very unhygienic especially when washing dishes.
Summary: Very clean, excellent location to access the Salthill Promenade. A few fixes and this place could be a real gem!

Positive: Great location and lovely property
Negative: We weren't sent the check-in instructions until 3 hours before we were due to arrive. This meant we were very concerned that there was an issue with our booking.

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Great location. Very quiet and easy parking
Negative: Very minor- one room had great blackout curtains which is great in mid summer . Would have loved the same in the bigger bedroom. Also , would have liked to get the entry instructions earlier that day before I started my journey there.
Summary: All in all, excellent

Travel Purpose: business
Positive: Location was quiet and clean. Nice to have an apartment and not a hotel because we were 2 couples.
Negative: It's good for 3 people, but not 4 because the 2nd bedroom bed is a smaller than usual and the bedroom is small and cramped. The sizes are accurately shown in the photo of the bedroom, so easy to decide for yourself.
Summary: A good choice for a party of 3
