17. 1997 Stays Galway

Newcastle, 0.7 km from Galway Cathedral

"Very cute little spot to stay. Unfortunately the check in details were a bit off and there's no staff on site. We were given a front door code and a room code. The front door code did not work but eventually we figured out the room code works on both doors. The wifi information we were given was also incorrect. Not the best water for showering and the beds were very creamy and noisy. All things considered we still loved the property. Great value and a very cool spot."

Top Galway Cathedral Hotel Reviews

The Galmont

10/10 Excellent

"great location and very generous sized rooms."

Harbour Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Walkable to the rest of the city, but didn't feel like we were stuck in an overly touristy area. Clean and comfortable room after some busy days of exploring!"

Queen Street Place

8/10 Good

"Very modern. Everything was adequate. Doors slam in the hallways."

Nox Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the Nox. Spent 2 nights. Property has a very good restaurant and a bar on site...always a plus. We were roadtripping Ireland so we had a car. Plenty of easy parking. Staff was pleasant and helpful."

Abbeygate Townhouse

10/10 Excellent

"Very automated so did not meet the staff but great room!"

Maldron Hotel Sandy Road Galway

10/10 Excellent

"Great Hotel"

The Snug Townhouse

8/10 Good

"The rooms were "Snug" as advertised but still enough space for what we needed. The biggest inconvenience was that there is no elevator, so if you are on a top floor you are carrying your luggage up. We made do. The location is right in the middle of all of the nightlife so it may be a bit loud at night when you are trying to sleep. We were so tired that it didn't make a difference! We liked being close to all the shops and pubs. There is also a parking structure just down the street if you are travel with your own vehicle. Overall, a very good place to stay."

The Western Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent place to stay in Galway."

Eyre Square Hotel

8/10 Good

"The staff were excellent! Very helpful with any questions we had. Location is perfect for walking around town and to meet up with any tours. Walls are thin so it can be noisy. There’s no TV service. A few local channels, that’s it."
