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 colored shops and restaurants.
Sights in Galway include its cathedral and city museum which has 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.
Friendly people. Lots to explore. Great music, culture, bars, a general feel good place.
The weather can be hit and miss sometimes just be prepared.

We prefered to eat and drink in the West End and stayed clear of Shop Street other than when we hit the artists market where we could get locally made stuff. We had great food at Universal and grabbed drinks at the Bierhaus. We listened to fabulous music at the Crane- go for the experience (go upstairs) if nothing else! If you want to go to the Aran Islands, I recommend the Aran Island Ferries. They leave right from Galway Docks and take you to Inishmore. You get about 4 hours on the island (enough to take a horse and cart (a must!) to Dun Aonghasa and back but not much else) then it picks you up and returns via the Cliffs of Mohr. If you want longer or want a different island you'll have to go to one of the other ports (Doolin or Rossaveel) that will take you a while to get to. The weather was incredible, so we were outside the whole time and walked on the promendade to Salthill each night. We didn't have a car- the traffic was pretty heavy, so I was very glad we were on foot. If you do have a car, I would recommend parking at wherever you are staying and walking everywhere else if possible. If we had more time we would have ventured to Spiddal and to Connemara National Park, but we felt we had enough time to see Galway itself.

Galway is a beautiful town with many, many things to see and do. There seemed to be a lot more young people (teens, early-twenties) out and about in Galway than we noticed in our other destinations. The streets and pubs of the Latin Quarter were crowded on a Monday, which is great but surprising! The area we visited was very walkable with lots of shopping, dining and entertainment opportunities. It's easy to get lost/turned around here, but everyone is helpful in pointing you in the right direction.

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!
The hotel is a fabulous Boutique Hotel in city centre. The staff were friendly and special mention to a girl who just started working on reception. Friendly and personable on check in.
Great to also have the parking nearby.
The Bar was closed the night we stayed however we have the nicest cocktails brought to us in the lobby.
Breakfast was excellent and service was great! Definitely will be back.
Comfortable if unspectacular hotel close enough to the city center with decor that feels pretty old fashioned. But everything was clean and the beds were very comfortable, but I would expect a bit more for the price I paid, although granted it may have been a bit higher because of the Christmas holidays. All in all a nice stay in Galway.
Very clean and tidy, warm rooms , everything you need tv, shower,tea, coffee, comfortable bed, this place is amazing excellent host very friendly and helpful, breakfast was amazing, and also brilliant for parking , and best of all only a short walk from city center highly recommend and will stay again 😃.
The hotel is roght in the city center where all the pubs and stores are. The nights can get a little noisy but the windows block out most of the noise when closed. The owners provide you with a free pair of earplugs just in case! They are insanely friendly, too!
We had a wonderful stay here and the staff were incredibly welcoming and kind. They made us feel special as we were staying for our honeymoon and we had an excellent breakfast in the morning. It was also a very short and reasonable walk into the city centre.
We enjoyed our recent stay (Oct. 1-3) at Ardawn House.
The bed is very comfortable.
Free parking next to the hotel entrance.
The breakfast was delicious and varied.
Great location - within walking distance of the city center.
Highly recommend.
The location is excellent. There are many cafes and restaurants nearby and a couple of grocery stores within easy walking distance. It is about a 20 minute walk to Galway city and there is regular bus service to the city centre.
Check in and check out were extremely quick and efficient. The location is very close to the city centre but not in the middle of the busy area, a really good location.
The room was clean and overlooked a garden at the back.
Single rooms for all family members, at the end of the trip to Ireland this was perfect. Lots of room for all eight of us.
Also, bus was very convenient for transport to Galway center. Staff was very helpful. Excellent stay.

Friendly helpful and polite staff, clean and comfortable rooms. Location is fine, 20 minutes walk from the city center. The hotel is on the main road, but the sound from the road is not a problem.
The staff was incredible, the breakfast was the best we had on this trip to Ireland.
Room was pretty big and very clean.
Bus stop is right outside the hotel.
