Claregalway Castle

8.6/10 (7 reviews)
Claregalway Castle is just one of the landmarks located 0.6 mi (1 km) from central Claregalway, so you might want to stop by for a few pics during your trip. You could also start your cultural experience by heading over to the cathedral in the area. It's also full of great shops and restaurants, so you can spend the afternoon having a wander.

Cobblestone streets lead to pubs where traditional Irish music flows as freely as the Guinness. Shop Street buzzes with street performers while the Spanish Arch stands as a reminder of centuries of maritime trade. Duck into the Galway City Museum to understand the city's evolution from medieval trading post to cultural hotspot. The Town Hall Theatre and Druid Theatre showcase why Galway earned its European Capital of Culture status. Take a breather at Eyre Square before heading to Salthill Promenade for Atlantic views. Don't miss the vibrant Galway International Arts Festival if timing allows. For a wilder experience, venture to nearby Connemara's rugged coastlines and pristine lakes bordered by ancient stone walls.

"The G hotel and spa was an excellent hotel to stay in! From the moment we walked in, we could just tell how clean and well-maintained the property truthfully is. It was so convenient having free parking underneath of the hotel with an elevator that would take you right up to your room. The rooms were spacious, The bed was comfortable and we love that they gave Irish snacks when we walked in. We definitely will be recommending this hotel to friends and will be back!!"

Queen Street Place

Queen Street Place

10/10 Excellent
"Queens Place exceeded our expectations. The rooms aren't particularly spacious but the whole place was extremely clean. All the staff were very friendly and organised our check-in so that my son and grandson would be in the same 'apartment' as us. Each apartment had a fully equipped kitchen where we could cook and relax. I'm not sure I could stay here for more than a couple of nights, based on the size of the room, but I would definitely book again if in the area. Oh, and the location was very central."
