Hotels in County Galway

For many, the true soul of Ireland is found in County Galway. This is a place of wild Atlantic coastline, where the otherworldly limestone landscape of the Burren meets the sea at Black Head. The heart of it all is Galway City, a compact, walkable hub of cobbled streets like Quay Street, alive with traditional music spilling from pubs and a famously creative energy. Just a short drive away, the Aran Islands offer a glimpse into a timeless Gaelic culture, while the dramatic cliffs and lonely beaches of Connemara define the region's raw, beautiful west.

Galway City is the most practical base, with its excellent bus and train station providing easy access to the rest of the county and beyond. Its central streets are ideal for couples and solo travelers looking to immerse themselves in culture and nightlife. For families or those seeking a quieter coastal retreat, consider staying in Salthill, a classic seaside village just a stroll along the promenade from the city centre, or in one of the many villages dotting the Connemara region for direct access to hiking and scenery.

Across the county, you'll find a wide range of places to stay. HOTEVI lists 68 hotels in County Galway, from sociable hostels perfect for backpackers in the city to charming, family-run guesthouses in towns like Clifden. You can also find modern hotels with conference facilities for business travelers and a selection of higher-end properties offering comfort after a day exploring the rugged landscape.
