FAQs about hotels in Galway








Cracking City of Craic

Welcoming Galway is a small city with fantastic nightlife and an infectious atmosphere. Outside of the Galway Arts Festival, there’s still plenty of live music in the Irish pubs to get the party started.

The Galway Races at Ballybrit Race Course west of Galway Airport attract a good crowd, as does Eyre Square, a green space with flags of previous ruling families who gave it its nickname - City of Tribes. To the south are cobbled streets housing brightly coloured shops and restaurants.

Sights in Galway include its cathedral and city museum which offers an interesting insight into the history of the city and Ireland. Lynch’s Castle is the last remaining 17th-century merchant house, and the Spanish Arch is a small section of city walls by the Corrib River, linking Galway Bay to huge Loch Corrib. Where river and ocean meet is Claddagh Park, a great spot for a picnic with a view.

Further around the coast is Salthill Promenade, home to Atlantaquaria, Ireland’s national aquarium, focussing on sealife off Irish shores. It’s a Christmas Day tradition to jump from Blackrock Diving Tower nearby into the icy Atlantic Ocean, though you may well spot some wag giving it a go.

Booking.com has an excellent range of Galway hotels, apartments and B&Bs to complete your stay.

    Heard for many years that Galway is a beautiful romantic place and always wanted to go there. Now I've been, and I won't be going back. Average looking place, nothing to really do, everything is very expensive and overpriced, especially the food. Some of the buildings are kinda cool, but the famous landmark road with the painted houses is literally 3 houses painted a colour and you will need to photoshop a bit of contrast to your photo afterwards!

    Galway, although a city, feels more like a town with its cobblestone streets and square. There was plenty to see and do in Galway but it also allowed for excursions that were shorter in length. Bus, train, and tour companies were all close together which was extremely convenient.

    Galway is perfect for a 1-day-stroll, but what really makes staying in Galway perfect or a must is what’s around Galway: cliffs of Moher, Aaran islands & Connemara. Those attractions/landscapes are what’s making Galway worth it. And for Galway itself it’s the authentic pubs, the compact city where you can reach the „beach“ within 20 mins.

    Galway Isa beautiful small city on the coast with much to do. The Latin Quarter is like what Nashville used to be before the big corporations took it over. You can walk down the street and hear music coming out of every pub door. It’s also a good staging point for trips into the countryside. The Cliffs of Moher sit about 1.5 hours away through the Burren, where you can see a very interesting environment and (I think), the oldest megalithic structure in Ireland. Locals recommended the An Púcán pub and we enjoyed the food and atmosphere.

    The Stop is probably the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in. I got a personal tour the moment I stepped in, and the staff continued to be personable and helpful throughout my stay. Breakfast was incredible, the room clean, quiet, and comfortable, the furnishings unique, and the simple comfort of having tea and cookies to come back to at the end of the night was such a joy. The owners put care into every inch of the property and guest experience. I’d fly back to Ireland just to stay here again (and I’m only mostly joking).

    The hotel was very nice and felt high quality. The interior, decorations, rooms bathroom all were nice and new. The rooms were big and the bed and mattress very comfortable. The breakfast was exceptional - the best 8 had in my 2 weeks of travel in the UK One person in our group was gluten intolerant and in the hotel restaurant and breakfast most of the options were available for him in a gluten free version! Seems this hotel got a distinction from the Ireland Celiacs association on this matter

    The heated pool and spa area was so great- just what we needed after a long day of travel. The decor is great around the hotel. The room well designed- the Bluetooth speaker and robes were a welcome touch. The bed was very comfortable and cosy (note we upgraded to a king size bed which was 2 beds pushed together. Not an issue for us but might be for some people). Breakfast was delicious and staff so friendly. Location is close to the city center while avoiding the noise!

    Location was perfect, right in the heart of or very close to many shops & pubs. Was fun to be in the center of activity. We also liked the quirky set up of the rooms. There is no elevator, but help was there for assistance with bags. I was traveling with my daughter, and we felt very safe. It was our first time to Ireland, and Rory was extremely helpful with suggestions, directions, taxi's, etc. Look for him when you stay there!

    The room and bathroom was very spacious and we had our own balcony which wasn't expected. The pool was well heated and the staff were pleasant to interact with and responded to any requests we had. While the hotel is located 15 mins outside the city centre, there is a bus available to the city and salthill located right outside the hotel, which was very convenient so we didn'talways need to drive.
