Top Old Central Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Resort: Galveston-On The Beach by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"It made our first time at the beach a great experience!"

Hyatt Select Galveston - Beachfront

8/10 Good

"Don’t hesitate to book this hotel. For the price it is really nice. Location couldn’t be better- from the beach it is literally steps across the parking lot. Our room was huge and would easily have fit several blowup mattresses. We had a king size room on the 5th floor- balcony and view of the water. Everything felt updated and new. Breakfast was waffles, bagels, etc., with meat on the weekends. Walking distance to many stores and restaurants. Kroger next-door. Easy parking and comfortable bed."

Seabreeze Hotel, An Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is in a great location. Restaurants and activities within walking distance. The breakfast had a bit to be desired. Items came out sporadically and the eggs....well, I'm not even sure if what I ate were eggs. The paid for shuttle service to the cruise port was good, and it was nice not having to deal with trying to get an Uber to take us to our ship. The shuttle driver and staff were very friendly. The room was very nice and we had a great view of the water."
