Top Galway Race Course Hotel Reviews

Maldron Hotel Sandy Road Galway

8/10 Good

"Location"

The G Hotel and Spa

8/10 Good

"A very comfortable stay and excellent location to access Eyre Square and surrounding area."

The Galmont

8/10 Good

"The room was comfortable. A/C worked properly. The bathroom does not have a shower but a high step in bathtub with no grab bar where to hold on to get inside or out. The glass door on the bathtub moves so cannot be used to hold on. Not safe for older people. The bathroom always has a peculiar smell. Parking was good under building. Overall a good place to stay. Staff very nice and helpful and breakfast was good but same hot items every day."

Nox Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay at the Nox Hotel. We stayed 4 nights as we stayed in Galway as our base to visit other parts of Ireland. The hotel was clean, friendly staff. We ate at the restaurant on a couple of occasions which was very good and convenient. It is about a 30 minute walk to Galway City Center or there is the 407 bus nearby that we used a few times to get to town and back to the hotel. My only complaint would be the pillows. This is completely personal preference, but I have neck issues and they were really uncomfortable for me. Otherwise we have no complaints about this hotel!"

Flannery's Hotel Galway

10/10 Excellent

"The room was lovely.... the restaurant was great, the bar was great... since we were traveling solo with a car, it was so nice to come back and enjoy the facilities and room. I gave it all 5 stars. Would recommend highly."

The Dean Galway

10/10 Excellent

"Stylish, smart, comfortable and chic - I loved this hotel. Food choices were great - especially breakfast. The "Cosy" room choice is definitely a cosy room, but it's well appointed and comfortable. Bar - seriously good, very good choice of drinks. Staff were great, everyone seemed invested in our stay being a good one. Top marks."

Cloonacauneen Castle

10/10 Excellent

"The place was so nice, like in your Dreams about a castle. The room was clean and the bed confortable. The staff was very nice too. For the price, it was very good. We recommanded. Tanks"

Menlo Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Menlo Park was a lovely hotel….very clean, great room, and close to everything. We ate dinner at the restaurant in the hotel and it was one of the best meals we had on our whole trip. The staff were all so friendly & accommodating. They definitely went over and above. Would absolutely stay there again."

Clayton Hotel Galway

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed for business. It was perfect, clean and quiet."
