I was looking for decent, cheap accommodation in Galway for about 10 people. I booked Corrib Village because it was only €60/night for a double ensuite. This included a continental breakfast.

While the facilities and location are good, the rooms are cramped, musty and rarely cleaned. The shower was filthy and the drainage so bad that after 2 minutes, the shower tray would fill with water and flood the bathroom. The walls are also paper thin, so if you do get put next to some party goers, you'll find it very tough!

The common areas were a little better, though nothing special. The breakfast room's tables weren't cleared and the two staff on duty looked like they had better places to be.

If you're on a very tight budget, Corrib Village would be okay, but for anyone else, I wouldn't recommend it.

I stayed at Corrib Village for a week in July and I have to say it was a lot better than I thought it would be for the price, paying just €20 a night!! The dorms were spotless, as were the grounds.
There was a games room with pool table, juke box, etc. There was a shop on the grounds were they sold everything you would need, I never had to make a trip to the supermarket, and it was very cheap aswell not like other shops on accommadation grounds that overcharge! There is a playground for the kids, a field to play football, etc. The continental breakfast was amazing, plenty of pastries, selection of breads, toast, jams, cereales, juice!! I couldn't believe all of that was included in the €20 I was paying! And there was also a FREE shuttle bus which brings you from corrib village into the city centre in a few minutes!! Galway city is amazing, the culture, the atmosphere, great resteraunts, even better pubs, friendly faces, and theres always some kind of festival going on!

Overall my week in corrib village was absolutely fantastic, definately recommended, I know I'll be going back there very soon!!!

I stayed in Corrib Village in June 2005 and again in July 2006. A great thing they have introduced this year is key cards for the room, I know last year my friends had some problems with getting the wrong room but because of the key cards this year, check in was quick and easy and we were all given the right rooms! Corrib Village is in a fantastic location just outside the city and there is a shuttle bus every half an hour during the day. When you rent a self catering aparment you get your own living room and kitchen so if you don't want to eat out all the time you have cooking facilities. I have never had any problems with the cleanliness of the aparments and we were supplied with fresh towels duing the week. The complex itself is great because it has a shop, cafe, tennis courts, playground and laundry. I will definately be returning again next year!

Upon arriving at Corrib Village, I was delighted to see that the dorms were easily found, with signposts directing the way. I was also able to remember which dorm was mine, with distinguishable colours having been applied to each one. The interior of the dorms were exquisite and very clean. The numerous cupboards and wardrobes were very useful for storing items away. One thing about the rooms was the bedroom doors. They each required a key-card, so if you closed the door, then you would not be able to get back in without having to unlock it. Although, I know this is required for College use. The grounds and facilities were very good as well, with a stocked Shop, a Dining area, and Pool room with an amazing range of music available on the coin-op jukebox and various other social rooms. the actual city of Galway is incredible. The buildings are beutiful and there are various social areas of traditional and Modern design. There are numerous resteraunts and a wide selection of food. Ayre square is a great area to just sit down and relax and perhaps view the large Cinema-esque screen or have a small picnic. Beside the estuary and harbour, there is a vary large green area for playing Football and other sports. not to far away, there is Silverstrand beach, which serves as a delightful area to tan and swim.

Overall, it is excellant accomodation in a beautiful city. What more could you ask for?
