17. 1997 Stays Galway

Newcastle, 1.3 km from Spanish Arch

"Very cute little spot to stay. Unfortunately the check in details were a bit off and there's no staff on site. We were given a front door code and a room code. The front door code did not work but eventually we figured out the room code works on both doors. The wifi information we were given was also incorrect. Not the best water for showering and the beds were very creamy and noisy. All things considered we still loved the property. Great value and a very cool spot."

Top Spanish Arch Hotel Reviews

Harbour Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Walkable to the rest of the city, but didn't feel like we were stuck in an overly touristy area. Clean and comfortable room after some busy days of exploring!"

Queen Street Place

8/10 Good

"Very modern. Everything was adequate. Doors slam in the hallways."

Abbeygate Townhouse

10/10 Excellent

"Very automated so did not meet the staff but great room!"

Maldron Hotel Sandy Road Galway

10/10 Excellent

"Great Hotel"

The Snug Townhouse

8/10 Good

"The rooms were "Snug" as advertised but still enough space for what we needed. The biggest inconvenience was that there is no elevator, so if you are on a top floor you are carrying your luggage up. We made do. The location is right in the middle of all of the nightlife so it may be a bit loud at night when you are trying to sleep. We were so tired that it didn't make a difference! We liked being close to all the shops and pubs. There is also a parking structure just down the street if you are travel with your own vehicle. Overall, a very good place to stay."

The Western Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent place to stay in Galway."

Eyre Square Hotel

8/10 Good

"The staff were excellent! Very helpful with any questions we had. Location is perfect for walking around town and to meet up with any tours. Walls are thin so it can be noisy. There’s no TV service. A few local channels, that’s it."

Leonardo Hotel Galway

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for two nights. The location is perfect to be in all of the action. The Spanish Arch is literally across the street. And it nestles along the river. The attached parking garage is ideal and the validate for a discount. (Two nights was 24 EU). The room was comfortable and the A/C much appreciated. The front desk was super helpful. We did the breakfast the morning we checked out. It was okay. Nothing too exciting. But, if you are wanted the authentic full Irish breakfast then here you go! We really appreciated being in the perfect spot to walk around and enjoy all the pubs and restaurants. Would definitely stay here on our next Galway visit!!"

Victoria Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location right near the train station. Staff were very friendly and the breakfast was quite good and certainly worth the money. We would stay here again! Thank you!"
