The family-run Western Hotel is located in the heart of Galway, just off Eyre Square.

All the staff were so friendly and helpful (reception, housekeeping, in the bar/breakfast room). Room had everything I needed. Location is just perfect - everything in city centre within strolling distance. Buses within Galway and to Dublin/airport also just around the corner. I've already recommended the Western to friends who are planning a trip to Galway.

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 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.

    Galway is a fantastic city to visit.

    Galway is a fantastic city to visit. Close to the sea, walks on the beach, shopping, museum and galleries. Galway is top notch for food, do try the seafood. It has a great Oyster festival which is a lot of fun. Music in the pubs is varied. Check out a trad session. You will find plenty. Take a spin out to Salthill and stroll on the prom. Well worth a visit. Can't wait to go back.

    Galway is a beautiful, walkable city.

    Galway is a beautiful, walkable city. We took a day tour with Wild Atlantic Way Tours to Aran Islands and Cliffs of Moher from Eyre Square in Galway City centre. Very enjoyable day and the weather was perfect for October in Ireland...many pubs, coffee shops, shopping in the area. We went back next day and spent the day enjoying everything in front of us!

    If you plan on a short trip, you'll want to come back.

    If you plan on a short trip, you'll want to come back. I live in Dublin so I've been to Galway 3 or 4 times as an adult and you never ever run out of things to do. Day trips are great if you're only around for a short while. My partner and I did the Kylemore Abbey/Cong tour of Connemara on the 2nd last day of a 4 day stay and it was absolutely worth the day. Plenty of stops along the way, food available at most. No amount of time would be enough to do it all, but the Aquarium and Barna Woods are great nature centred activities on bus routes from the city. McDonagh's Chipper comes highly recommended by tour guides, but there are few bad spots for food in the city, though some places are seasonal.

    Breakfast was delicious. Great location for touring the Connemara Coast and very close to Galway City. Lovely view from Penthouse suite. The attention to detail at this Guesthouse was superb. Complimentary snacks and beverages, his and hers toweling robes, toiletries etc.. The host Fred was so helpful and considerate. All Covid precautions were in place so you felt safe but they were not intrusive. I would highly recommend Sea Breeze for a holiday in the West of Ireland.

    A very clean, well appointed B&B, with all the amenties, in a quiet residential neighborhood. Just feet from a bus stop for three main city routes to downtown Galway. Ireland is a country where B&B's are the main place to stay if you want to be by the sights. Each B&B has it own whimsy with the host or hostess representing a large part. Marie was our hostess and was a good part of helping us get the most out of our visit to Galway.

    Our family room was large enough to accommodate all of us, but space was a bit limited overall. The city center is within walking distance and breakfast alternatives and dinner options are even closer, so the location is great. The breakfast served at the hotel is standard, good but not outstanding. The room was spotlessly clean and the staff friendly and helpful.
