Accommodation - working in Tuam

jos28

Sorry folks, I'm sure you're sick of people seeking accommodation in Galway. This one is a bit of a last minute.com. I'm trying to help someone who is moving to Galway for work. He has been looking for a house share all weekend without success. He needs something for this week, hotel prices are mental and he hates the thoughts of doing b&b. Anyone know of any short lets/self catering or anything he could book at short notice for 5 nights from tomorrow.

The Connacht hotel have apartments that might be suitable though the price might be nuts on them.

Honestly, B&B might be his best option at this stage.

What part of the city is the job, I might be able to recommend a B&B or two

Thanks DaCor, I have to agree that B&B is his best option. He just hates the thought of being in someone's house for the week. The job is in Tuam so I'm sure he'd get something there

Since he will be working in Tuam I am moving thread to county.
Keep looking at daft and Galway Advertiser

Let him get something close to work and then move somewhere else in a couple months or so.

There isn't a whole load of B&B's in Tuam. The Ard Ri is €300 for six nights starting tomorrow night.

Thanks Mars Bar, the Ard Rí is a bit out of his budget. He managed to get Sheridans in Milltown for a great price inc dinner. That's him sorted for this week but he has to try and sort a house share in the city. It ain't easy but hopefully he finds something during the week.

I checked out house sharing in Tuam on Daft.ie and came across a few places?

Thanks Sofa, I'll send that on to him. Cheers

Why does he need to be in the city if he's working in Tuam?

Purely for social reasons He doesn't mind the commute to Tuam for work but reckons meeting up with friends and going to gigs etc would be easier living near the city
