Top Old Central Hotel Reviews

The San Luis Resort, Spa & Conference Center

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and staff was very professional."

Baymont by Wyndham Galveston

10/10 Excellent

"The property was very well maintained, had a great set up, plenty of parking, friendly and helpful staff. The water pressure was great, the beds were comfortable, and although we didn’t use the pool, it was in very clean / good shape. We will definitely be back for our next trip to Galveston!"

TRU BY Hilton Galveston

4/10 Poor

"The hotel is clean enough, though obviously not a 5 star hotel. The biggest issue is how thin the walls and ceilings are. Traffic noise is very loud and upstairs guest can be hear walking around their rooms as well as guest talking in rooms even across the hall. It wasn't guest being obnoxiously loud either, just normal talking. Was VERY hard to sleep. The pillows are absolutely horrible as well."

Harbor House Hotel and Marina at Pier 21

8/10 Good

"The rooms and building are clean and well maintained. Great location for those going on a Royal cruise. We parked our cars in the adjacent lot for the time we were away on the cruise. There is road construction so be ready for that! Our only complaint is the man working the front desk. He seemed to be frustrated with our group. There were only 6 of us and we are all accustomed to travel so our expectations were not demanding or unreasonable. We had never stayed with this hotel before so of course we were not familiar with their extended stay policies. I suggest getting someone who enjoys and appreciates serving others. We highly recommend Katie’s restaurant! Great service and great food! The fish are caught daily. It is an easy walk across the parking lot. The views were excellent!"

Carr Mansion

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I loved our stay at the Carr Mansion! This historical home was charming, clean, and comfortable. Joellyn was a fabulous host; she served delicious breakfast and offered several tips/ recommendations for activities around the island. The location of the home is near to several other historical landmarks/ museums, the Strand, and the Seawall. We highly recommend booking a stay at the Carr Mansion for a relaxing trip with a home-like feel that typical hotels just can’t match. We will be back!"

Moody Gardens Hotel, Spa and Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our room. It was clean and most importantly didn’t smell like many hotels.,Also a big plus that the air conditioning unit was not loud. Great stay and the staff was friendly and helpful always. Felt like being at the resort. Everything is close ."
