Corrib Village is the ideal base for exploring the West of Ireland and experiencing all that Galway has to offer. Located on the grounds of NUI Galway, at the edge of Connemara and only a FREE 10-minute shuttle bus away from the hive of activity that is Galway city centre, it is the perfect option for an activity-filled break away! Corrib Village offers basic, no-frills, affordable accommodation for both individuals and groups, who can choose to book on a room-only or B&B basis or opt for an entire, self-catering apartment. For those wishing to stay in Corrib Village on a nightly B&B basis, a light continental breakfast is included, which is available from 7:00am to 11:00am in the Corrib Cafe. Those who opt for an entire, self-catering apartment (which can accommodate up to 6 people) can enjoy the additional benefit of a living area with a fully-equipped kitchen and a TV with seating area. All bedrooms are supplied with clean linen and fresh, soft towels. Corrib Village offers a wide variety of on-site facilities, such as a playground, tennis court, sports court (extra charge applies), coin-operated laundrette, convenience shop, car park, internet access, BBQ area, games room and a FREE shuttle bus to the city centre. A tour booking service is also supplied. For family trips, cots and highchairs are available by prior request (extra charge applies). One of the biggest attractions of Galway itself is the array of vibrant and cultural festivals that take place during the summer months, such as the Galway Arts Festival, the Galway Races, the International Oyster Festival and the Film Festival. It is the place to be during the summer! So, don't miss out on your chance to soak up the atmosphere. Stay in Corrib Village and experience it all without breaking the bank!

Basic. Tidy. Was adequate for a night out in Galway. If you are travelling on a budget I'd recommend - but bear in mind what your getting; student accomodation thats not in use for the summer.

As expected

When I saw "no frills," I went in with low expectations. They were met. I booked a room for a single bed and ended up with a full size bed, so that was a nice surprise. All I needed was internet access and a place to sleep, and I got both, so I was completely fine. However, if you're looking for something with amenities or something close to the pubs, this is not it.

WARNING: AVOID THIS PLACE BY ANY MEANS

Was offered a 6ft by 6ft dirty, dark cell. I am still reeling from astonishment.

Great Value, Good Service

The experience was great. Corrib Village is right next to the University and it has a complementary shuttle that runs into Downtown Galway several times each day. The rooms are about what you might expect for student housing, but they are clean and the staff brings new linens and towels every day. They were also very friendly and tolerant of stupid foreigner questions. Great value!

corrib village

It was a dormitory room, which was good sized, but about a 20 to 25 minute walk from city centre, shuttle only ran from noon to 7pm. Walking was not recommended at night. There was a public bus, but not sure how late it ran. It was hard to do any evening activities. breakfast was ok, but they promised scones and never had them, fruit was tinned. it was cheap, but not convenient. There was no where to get food in the late evening, everything closed at about 9.

Friendly helpful atmosphere

Corrib Village is a home away from home. After traveling for 2 days on multiple flights to get here, we were greeted by the nicest staff you could imagine. They are all so efficient, and as friendly as can be--truly dedicated to making our stay as comfortable as possible. Our room was clean, comfortable, and just a stone's throw away from the restaurant, which served up a palate satisfying breakfast with a choice of four types of cereal, 3 types of fruit, 3 types of bread for toasting, and 2 types of juices, along with steaming hot coffee. The beds were comfortable, the showers nice and hot, and there was room enough to spread out, along with good lighting to read travel brochures by. It was easy to book activities, like tours and shows through the front desk. All in all, Corrib Village was a place I hated to leave, so at home did they make us feel.

Money-saving tip: Short walk from hotel

If you like to walk, and are feeling energetic, you can save money walking back and forth from Corrib Village to Galway City Center. The River Walk takes you through the grounds of the University, and into town. It's about a 15 minute fast-paced walk. There's also a complimentary shuttle which runs from 12 noon to 7:30pm.

Student Dorm

Corrib Village was a 10 to 15 minute walk from town and also easy to get to by bus. The room was adequate and since it is part of a dorm, you could also use the kitchen amenities and tv room. I recommend this place to people that will be spending most of their time exploring and not their room.
