Detailed Reviews
These are 1,2, and 3 bedroom apartments usually rented to college/university students. However they are available to rent during the summer when students are gone. As such they are student housing and it shows. Condition is fair to good but wear and tear is obvious. The price is reasonable. We paid 54 € per night and liked the option to cook our own food rather than eating out (another savings). As long as you are not expecting a high end facility and are comfortable with what is a student dorm with a kitchen you'll satisfied. Location is close to a major road and shopping. This turned out to be a great base for touring County Donegal and Derry.

lovely and clean. Dermot was very helpful and lovely to deal with. Good location with a shop a very short walk away. No TV but free fast wi-fi and to be honest so much to do and see who needs TV. Could do with a bit of doing up but overall very nice. 9/10 from me

Stay at Ballyraine Self Catering last week. We were allocated a 3rd floor apartment even though the lower floor wasn't occupied.
The apartment is functional but badly in want of a good clean. The charge for the apartment was the same as a 3-4 star hotel so not cheap.
Pets are allowed and this is why we went with Ballyraine Apartments but the issue with the flies was beyond belief. They did provide the unsightly fly traps you hang from the ceiling and some stickers for the windows not much addition with the
volume of flies. The apartment required a deep clean especially the floors and fly spay the entire apartment regularly.
Just a word of warning for parents paying top dollar for student accommodation in this complex. This complex requires a complete overhaul prior to any students entering these apartments

When we arrived we received a great welcome. We rented the three bed room apartment which consisted of 1 double room (on suit) and two single rooms. A large family bathroom, kitchen and sitting room.
The apartment was very clean and well equipped. Fridge, cooker top, oven, microwave, kettle and toaster. The decor is simple but as I mentioned very clean and beds are very comfortable. There is washing machines and tumbler dryers on site. €5.00 each but take large load. Your bedding is not refreshed while you stay. However if you pop down to reception they are more then happy to replace your towel and toiletries. I am sure its the same for bedding if you ask. The WiFi in the apartment is fast. There are no TVs but we brought a portable TV and the reception supplied a cable. So we had no problem tuning in stations.
The location is excellent with plenty of parking. The apartments are situated 10 min walk from town. €6 in a taxi if your don't fancy the walk. Plenty of shops and places to eat near by. Also a 5 min walk takes you to Area 7 Amusements. Great bowling, arcade games and lazer tag. They have a lovely restraunt and do a great dine and bowel deal. We used this as a base to travel to Donegal, Omagh and Derry. All within a 40 min drive or less.
I would highly recommend these apartments as a plce to stay with a young family. Staff are so helpful. I would have no hesitation in returning here again.

Ignorants from security, was dropping a freind into his apartment after travelling from down the country and wasn’t allowed drop him at the door with his bags while it was lashing rain and cold temperatures outside , was making my freind walk in the rain and cold , this is unacceptable behaviour with no remorse to the weather conditions outside.

The place had mold coming out of the fridge and bedrooms were so moudly.. holes in the walls.. run down.. seen cleaners but not housekeepers and they never come near us.. cleaners were really ignorant to myself and my friends, I'm disappointed as pictures look nice but in real life its a run down building
But overall I'd stay again.
Only thing good was the couch.

Myself and my 2 children stayed in an apartment for the second time and loved every minute. The staff are so helpful and the apartment is a real home from home. All appliances in great condition and the most comfortable beds. Highly recommend a visit
