You can get around easily from here: everything is within walking distance, and the 411 stops just outside the main entrance at street level. Take it into town, or catch it from the other side of the road towards Oranmore. The rooms are very basic, like a student dorm. I came here after Goldcrest, and the difference between the two was striking. It was safe enough, and there was hot water in the shower if you were quick. In colder weather it gets drafty, and spiders get in from all over because it isn't sealed as well as the newer dorms. I'd recommend it if you're not fussy.
