Corrib village was wonderful, my family recently had a family reunion there. the flats were just what we needed, they fit a whole family, and an ocasional visitor. Their were many other families around, so plenty of kids to play with all the cousins. bringing thisngs like rollerblades and tennis rackets also made the trip better. over all it is a perfect spot for a family, and much cheeper than most hotels, its a great value.

We booked 6 nights at the Corrib Village for 500 Euros as it sounded ideal for a family[kids club, babysitting facility, laundry, on-site restaraunt]. However when we arrived the first thing that hit us was the smell - damp & musty. The rooms were very small particularly the double room. The lighting was poor & rooms dull & dreary with grey furnishing. How you'd imagine a prison cell! It seemed ridiculous that we'd left our comfortable home to spend a week here with 2 small kids.
We both agreed that we should look for alternative accommodation. When I informed the staff of our decision to stay one night only they would not allow us the use of the kitchen in the apartment despite the fact we had brought groceries. In the morning we went to the 'restaraunt' for breakfast. We had at least looked forward to a 'full Irish' but that isn't even provided for guests who pay for B&B. Basically, this place is probably ideal for backpackers spending a couple of days in Galway & who only want something very basic. Also, anyone thinking of staying here for their holiday should be aware that Corrib Village is inhabited by students from September -May. No offence to students! But we didn't work hard all year to spend our trip to Galway in students' flats.

I stayed in Corrib Village August 2002 and it was ideal. Great location mins from eyre square. Staff are extremely friendly and the whole complex is very well run. Rooms are good too, I had an ensuite single room with shower/toilet and a good continental breakfast for only 32 euro per night. its excellent value and you can visit all the fab restaurants at night in Galway city and tour Connemara and Aran Island it was the perfect base and didn't cost the earth. highly recommended for the budget traveller. Great for families too, a complete apartment for up to 4 adults and 2 children only 345 euro per week. I have recommended corrib village to all my family and friends.
