Top Galway Race Course Hotel Reviews

"Great Manor in lovely little town close to Stirling Castle"

Harbour Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very nice and helpful. We had an issue and they addressed it immediately. The hotel was ideally located for walking around Galway."

The G Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Great property to stay at. I didn’t get an opportunity to take care advantage of this free spa passes. The shower in the bathroom is the best."

Ballindooley Castle 10 minutes to Galway City

10/10 Excellent

"An absolutely magical stay. When even your teenage and adult kids are wowed by your accommodations, you know you have done well. Staying at Ballindooley Castle makes you feel like the Lords and Ladies of Galway - with the perfect mix of ancient history and modern convenience. The property is a short drive or cab ride into the wonderful city of Galway (which has a large parking deck downtown). But you may not even want to leave your castle which has stunning views from the roof. Be sure to catch the sunrise and/or sunset. And dining in the Great Hall is a must. Explore the grounds and experience every room in your temporary manor. Barry is an exceptional host, very communicative, and happy to provide you with a video tour, complete with historical anecdotes, upon your arrival. One word of caution - the spiral staircase was made to repel invaders (not for large suitcases). We brought in smaller bags with only what we needed for the stay. If you don't like ancient staircases, plan on staying in the first-floor bedroom. Would certainly return to Ballindooley again and again."
