Galway: The City of Tribes Awaits

Galway, nestled on Ireland's west coast, offers a distinctive blend of tradition and a lively atmosphere. It is well-known for its strong connection to Irish language and culture, evident in the various festivals and local music sessions found throughout the city. The River Corrib flows through, leading out to Galway Bay, a significant feature of the landscape. Visitors often explore the Latin Quarter, a historic area with narrow streets, or take a stroll along the Salthill promenade, enjoying views across the water.

The city is also a gateway to the Connemara region, with its expansive natural scenery. Specific points of interest include Eyre Square, a central park, and the Spanish Arch, an enduring piece of the city's medieval wall. Galway’s reputation for live entertainment and its proximity to the Wild Atlantic Way make it a popular spot for those seeking both urban experiences and access to Ireland's rugged coastline.

Where to book your hotel in Galway

The most common area to book a hotel in Galway is undoubtedly the city centre, particularly around the Latin Quarter. This puts you right at the heart of the action, with easy access to shops, pubs, and restaurants, making it ideal for those who prefer to walk everywhere.

For those seeking a bustling experience, staying within the Latin Quarter itself, or nearby streets like Quay Street and Shop Street, offers a range of guesthouses and boutique hotels. Here, you'll find yourself amidst establishments like The Kings Head pub, known for its history and live music, and numerous traditional eateries serving local seafood. Cultural spots such as the Galway City Museum are also just a short stroll away, offering insights into the area's rich past.

Alternatively, the areas around Salthill offer a different atmosphere, typically featuring larger hotels and some pleasant bed and breakfasts. Situated along Galway Bay, this district provides lovely views and a more relaxed pace, while still being within easy reach of the city centre. Salthill Promenade is a popular spot for a walk, and Leisureland Salthill provides entertainment options. Accommodation here often appeals to families or those looking for slightly more spacious options.

If budget is a primary consideration, or if you prefer a quieter stay with good access to the university, looking at properties slightly further out, perhaps towards Newcastle or Terryland, might be worthwhile. These areas tend to have more affordable guesthouses and some larger hotel chains, though you might need to use local buses or taxis to reach the main attractions.

When considering hotel bookings, remember that Galway Coach Station is centrally located, offering connections to most parts of Ireland. For air travel, Shannon Airport and Dublin Airport are the closest major hubs, with regular bus services connecting directly to Galway city centre, making onward travel to your accommodation relatively straightforward regardless of where you choose to stay.

Find the best hotel deals in Galway

To find better value on hotel stays in Galway, consider booking your accommodation outside the peak season. Prices generally surge from June to August, when the weather is at its best and events like the Galway Arts Festival, the Galway Races, and the Claddagh Festival draw large crowds. These periods often see hotels fully booked well in advance, driving up rates significantly.

For more affordable options, look to travel during the low season, particularly from November to February. While the weather can be a bit chillier, you'll find substantially lower prices and fewer tourists. Booking in advance, even during the off-season, can still secure a better deal, and exploring areas slightly further from Eyre Square might also present more budget-friendly choices.
