"Holiday" to Galway. I got a heart attack at hotel prices. Any good deals?

    21% of the prices are due to the VAT and rates so the Government can go and squander it.

    Yet, somehow it's the fault of the people running businesses about high costs?

    Ah lister mint you and jackiechang should invest in one of those cheap 2 man tents that aldi sell .
    Get yer selves down to a field in galway and have a great cheap weekend .
    Leave the hotels to the people that can afford it and understand that €75 per might per person isn't a rip off .
    While in aldi pick up a bottle of cheap wine .
    Sure it's a win win .

    Give over.

    Quoting €75 is disingenuous, Hotels are mostly priced per room and a room price of €150 for a Travelodge is ridiculous.

    I stay in hotels a fair bit, UK mainly and mainland Europe, apart from central London there is no way I'd expect to pay anything close to that for something of that standard. In fact I have a strict no-Travelodge policy in the summer as they are unbearably hot without air conditioning this time of year, paying that much for a room where I can't even get a decent night's sleep, no way.

    OP I'm glad you got a decent deal somewhere else, the only sane response to the homegrown rip-off merchants is not to give them any business.

    I paid 525 for two nights in salthill on the weekend of the galway races, i didn't know the racing was on. Also it never stopped raining. Ill never go back unless its a stag party where i can hide from the rain.

    13% VAT + Rates. Hotels have a large footprint and rates for them are huge.

    Fdevine.... The original poster has been given information that the ardilaun hotel can be got for €199 for 2 nights for 2 people .
    Its a 4 star hotel .
    Your hardly suggesting €50 per night per person is expensive ?
    At this rate some people on here will want to be paid to stay in galways hotels .

    Mod note: No need for the personal abuse.
