Traditional pubs serve hearty Irish stews alongside fresh oysters and creamy Guinness until late. The neighborhood is entirely walkable, though cobblestones can be challenging for some visitors. Boutique hotels and guesthouses in converted stone buildings offer authentic lodging with historic character.

The Snug Townhouse

10/10 Excellent
"Great location right in the heart of the Latin Quarter! The rooms were small (as the name suggests) but well maintained. We were amazed that you couldn’t hear the noise from the street from where we were staying! The staff was also super friendly, helpful, and accommodating and offered great suggestions for things to do in and around the city! I would highly recommend this hotel to solo travelers/couples (or folks willing to get comfy with friends) looking to stay near the traditional pub scene in Galway."

"Easy parking. It’s right at the port. It’s a nice compromise between being able to easily park and get in and out of town for day trips and being able to walk to the bars and restaurants. Brunch was good and had good gluten free options."

Leonardo Hotel Galway

Leonardo Hotel Galway

10/10 Excellent
"The Leonardo is a definite step up from the Jury Inn that was here before. We chose it due to its location at an end of the pedestrian street. Breakfast buffet was lovely. The shower worked well, and after flying into Dublin, then driving to Galway, we were ready for a bed and a nap. Everything was fine. The price is high compared to the Jury before, but you can’t beat the location. Also, with the parking garage next door, the hotel validated our parking ticket so it was 12 euros instead of 20 euros. Of course my husband wanted to wander around some more, so we had an extra 6 euros to pay when we left."
