Top Galway Race Course Hotel Reviews

Nox Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff was amazing and very helpful"

Radisson RED Galway

10/10 Excellent

"Every detail that the hotel offers in onpoint"

Flannery's Hotel Galway

10/10 Excellent

"A little gem hidden in the hills!"

The Galmont

10/10 Excellent

"Great property, lovely staff, delicious breakfast. Parking was very convenient - underground parking lot with elevator to reach the lobby, take your ticket to reception for validation to receive the parking discount. Something to keep in mind: this is a large property - we had to walk down several long hallways and take 2 elevators to reach our room. If that's an issue for you, give reception a heads up for room accommodation preferences."

The G Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was beautiful! We loved the spa, the drinks, the view and especially the location."

Clayton Hotel Galway

8/10 Good

"I highly recommend this hotel. Room was clean and staff was excellent."

Ballindooley Castle 10 minutes to Galway City

10/10 Excellent

"What an amazing experience in Ireland! My High School girlfriends and I wanted to have a 'castle stay' while visiting Ireland together & this was wonderful. We had communication all day from our host so he could walk us through the tour over the phone. He responded immediately to my updates. He had such great information about the castle & I liked doing it over the phone so we had the space to ourselves. It is a castle though, as he reminded me, so don't go in there thinking it's a hotel. It is a real castle so don't expect a Hilton. It has great showers & updated baths. Beds are good with clean linens & the living room furniture is comfortable. I thought it was a very cool stay! We will remember it forever."
