I booked "University of Galway Apartments" thinking that I would get an apartment. My wife teaches a summer course at Galway and my son and I stayed with her in her four-bedroom apartment last year. Much to my surprise, this year my son and I didn't get an apartment ... we got a single dormitory room in Dunlin Village. A single dormitory room with a small bed and a chair and nothing else. No coffeemaker, no nothing. Just towels, soap, body wash. Amazingly, this was billed as a "deluxe" accommodation, and the cost was comparable to that of a three-star hotel. It is the single biggest booking mistake I have made, though in my defense I was misled by the photo, which suggested that the apartment would be an apartment. I made other arrangements, but that's a bunch of money I will never get back.
