At Eyre Square, the warm and comfortable Imperial Hotel in Galway city center is close to Galway University NUIG and the bus and railway station.

For a 3 star hotel, it was great. Better than a 4 star I stayed at in Dublin. Spacious room with a nice bathroom and great view. Great location in Eyre Square. Walking distance to the starting point of tours. Restaurants nearby. Great vibe.

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 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.

    We were just staying one night.

    We were just staying one night. Went into the town where there was plenty of shops and pubs to choose from, we enjoyed the walking around until it poured with rain then we headed back to the hotel as the cobblestone pavement was flooded and water was running off the shops blinds. All in all a good visit.

    The Stop is probably the best hotel I’ve ever stayed in. I got a personal tour the moment I stepped in, and the staff continued to be personable and helpful throughout my stay. Breakfast was incredible, the room clean, quiet, and comfortable, the furnishings unique, and the simple comfort of having tea and cookies to come back to at the end of the night was such a joy. The owners put care into every inch of the property and guest experience. I’d fly back to Ireland just to stay here again (and I’m only mostly joking).

    I really enjoyed my 3 night stay here! The suites were clean, the bed was comfortable, and everything was very quiet. Being a bit outside of the city meant no noise. It's about a 15 minute walk to the city center and it's an easy walk (no need to cross any major streets). There's free parking below the building as well. I was originally a bit nervous about staying in repurposed college dorms (US college dorms are, in general, not nice), but this functions as a great hotel and I would recommend it to anyone.

The hotel is quite charming with a great staff and has air conditioning. Thanks to Hazel and her team for a wonderful stay, great breakfast (the best coffee we had in two weeks in Ireland) and superb conversations. We hope to visit Galway again and will stay here.

    We had the absolute best time at the Balcony House! Teresa is the sweetest host - she made us feel so welcome and right at home in Galway. The homemade breakfast was amazing, the rooms and facilities were spotless, and it was the coziest place we stayed during our trip to Ireland. We absolutely adored it and would recommend to anyone looking for a switch up from a traditional hotel room experience.
