Top St. Mary Cathedral Basilica Hotel Reviews

The San Luis Resort, Spa & Conference Center

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel."

The Mariner

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room property comfortable bed"

The Mansion on 17th

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was awesome, we were welcomed as soon as we arrived. The building is over 100 years old and is a gorgeous representation of a mansion from that time period. We were given a brief history of the property. Our room was really nice. The complimentary social hour and breakfast was pleasant. Breakfast was good. I would absolutely stay here again."

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Galveston Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Place was clean and refreshing. Rooms big and cool and the pool is nice. The staff friendly and other hotel guest were nice. Felt like being on a cruise on land. If you book here you’ll get a pool view but partial ocean view or just the ocean view. There are no rooms at the back of the building and that’s awesome. Everyone is facing the ocean"

Grand Galvez Resort, Autograph Collection

8/10 Good

"We have been coming to the Galvez for years and the service at the pool was horrible. Nobody cleaned up the trash or put away the clean towels. They used to wait in you wherever you were sitting. What happened to great service??"

Seabreeze Hotel, An Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for one night before a cruise and it was great. The property is clean and well kept. The staff were friendly. Breakfast was good. Bed was comfortable. The only thing was the parking was a little tight getting in and out of the lot, but we managed. It was a block from the sea wall so we took a walk after breakfast. It’s also a straight shot from the hotel to the port. I would definitely stay here again if we cruise out of Galveston again or just visit Galveston in general."

Harbor House Hotel and Marina at Pier 21

10/10 Excellent

"Staff is extremely helpful"

Cozy Historic Loft, Steps from The Strand

10/10 Excellent

"Was a great way to have family time when and where we needed it . Everyone was together yet plenty of space."

St Helen s House Historic District

10/10 Excellent

"The hostess Miranda met me at the door, very pleasant and helpful. The house is loaded with historic memorabilia and the house is original with what you would expect in a house of its history. This house is for those who love historic buildings! I even commented to family members that this is the type of house we have paid to tour. Hoping the photos give you an idea what to expect, you will not be disappointed if you truly love historic homes. Note: there are stairs and some rooms have shared baths. Talk to the hostess about your preference on the bathroom, stairs are just a part of the charm."
