What an amazing experience in Ireland! My High School girlfriends and I wanted to have a 'castle stay' while visiting Ireland together & this was wonderful. We had communication all day from our host so he could walk us through the tour over the phone. He responded immediately to my updates. He had such great information about the castle & I liked doing it over the phone so we had the space to ourselves. It is a castle though, as he reminded me, so don't go in there thinking it's a hotel. It is a real castle so don't expect a Hilton. It has great showers & updated baths. Beds are good with clean linens & the living room furniture is comfortable. I thought it was a very cool stay! We will remember it forever.

An absolutely magical stay. When even your teenage and adult kids are wowed by your accommodations, you know you have done well. Staying at Ballindooley Castle makes you feel like the Lords and Ladies of Galway - with the perfect mix of ancient history and modern convenience. The property is a short drive or cab ride into the wonderful city of Galway (which has a large parking deck downtown). But you may not even want to leave your castle which has stunning views from the roof. Be sure to catch the sunrise and/or sunset. And dining in the Great Hall is a must. Explore the grounds and experience every room in your temporary manor. Barry is an exceptional host, very communicative, and happy to provide you with a video tour, complete with historical anecdotes, upon your arrival. One word of caution - the spiral staircase was made to repel invaders (not for large suitcases). We brought in smaller bags with only what we needed for the stay. If you don't like ancient staircases, plan on staying in the first-floor bedroom. Would certainly return to Ballindooley again and again.

Our stay in Ballindooley Castle was fabulous, exciting, historical and educational. Highly recommend the castle stay. Barry, our host, was very communicative and available. The castle has all the amenities needed and plenty of space and we enjoyed exploring every room and its history. Cozy and would stay there again.

This is a lovely place, however; we were unable to stay due to the front lock not working. It was stuck in the lock position and we could not close the door. The three of us each spent about 45 minutes trying to fix it so we could close the door. We tried calling the owner but at 9 or so at night were unable to get in touch. By about 9:45 we decided we needed to go to another hotel due to safety. The owner called us after 10 pm but we had already checked in. We are still trying to get our money back from this very expensive place that we were unable to use. Also, there was garbage from the last people who stayed there still in the laundry room.

Barry was an absolutely wonderful host. He provided us with a walkthrough and history lesson about the castle. My children had a blast exploring everything and even playing the hardest game of hide and seek you can imagine. We would absolutely stay here again and hope we can sometime in the future.

A real castle!

Host was very communicative and left a lovely gift basket for us when we arrived. It's a true castle so don't expect modern luxury, but there's much to explore and a lot of history. Our group enjoyed our stay and learning about the previous occupants.

It's your own castle in Ireland

Our family had a great time at the Ballindooley Castle. The listing is accurate and the location is good. It's on a busy road, so you will hear traffic and the windows and doors are not airtight but it really doesn't matter as it's an incredible opportuinity to stay in a legitimate medieval castle. We had a great time.

Great communication with the host who gave us a tour and the history of the castle. The Castle has lots of steps naturally, but all of the levels are incredible. The renovated bathroom and shower was amazing. Great location near Galway with lots of places to eat.

This was a unique and interesting property. We enjoyed the experience and the owners have done an amazing job of updating the interior while still maintaining the originality. However - it is NOT conducive for older people or anyone with mobility issues. The stairs are no joke!

Ballindooley castle stay

Our family reunion of 6 stayed here for a week and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this amazing 450 year old Tower. We had meals and played games in the great room, viewed the sunsets from the rooftop ramparts and generally lived like the Royal family (minus the servants of course). It served as an unforgettable and spectacular setting for a long overdue reunion for our family. We would return in a heartbeat.

Amazing experience

Barry was an amazing host. When we arrived he gave us a tour to show us the smaller details of the property and explain some of the history - we loved the tour. The experience was so much fun. The property was well stocked with everything you need, kitchen was well stocked to host a dinner. Bathroom and laundry supplies were there to use. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Galway and recommend Ballindooley to anyone looking for a unique experience.

Experience of a lifetime!

Staying at this Castle was a highlight of our trip. It has been updated with comforts as much as possible. We had a nice warm stay. This is a true standing castle rich with history. Perfectly located outside galway. Barry was an excellent and resposive host. I think he was just as exciting for us as we were to stay. I omly dinged cleanliness because its an ancient castle. If dust in the corners isn't expected, this is not the place for you. Book It!

If you’re looking for a truly unique experience — staying in a real medieval castle — this is the place to book. The property is over 500 years old and completely authentic in every sense. We’re glad we stayed, but you need to seriously consider your ability to handle steep, uneven, and sometimes dangerous stairs, especially when carrying luggage up multiple flights.We enjoyed using the fireplace to stay warm, and the owner supplied plenty of wood and coal. There are electric heaters in several rooms, but the castle is drafty and can get quite cold — part of the atmosphere, but not for everyone.That said, be prepared: this is a very old building, and it shows. The interior is dusty, the stone floors and walls feel damp, and cleanliness is far below what you’d expect in a modern accommodation. The front door is awkward to open and lock, and being right on a busy road means there’s a steady hum of traffic noise.If you’re after an authentic, centuries-old experience, this delivers — but go in knowing you’re staying in a genuine ancient castle, not a polished hotel

New housekeeper needed immediately

We found the following issues that had not been addressed prior to our arrival. The kitchen was a wreck:-The garbage can was full of trash and rotten food. It smelled terrible. -The garbage can lid was smeared with old dried food. -The French Press had mold and sludge in the bottom along with coffee grounds -The tea pot had dried grounds in the bottom and the inside was black. -The service wear in the drawers was streaked with grease. Apparently someone had tried to clean them with cold water. -The rug in the kitchen was dirty and stained. -The refrigerator had not been wiped out and there were open condiment bottles that were old and out of date. -The olive oil was rancid Bedroom:The single bed in the master had mold stains and smelled musty. Great room:The table was covered with dust. Family room:-The coal fireplace was full of old ash from many uses. -There were old, burned down and useless candles all over the place. Bathroom:The tile floor was very gritty and had obviously not been cleaned. Heating systemTwo of the radiant heaters were old, rusted and inoperable, contributing to the castle being cold and damp. Outside All of the trash containers were full of old garbage. As a result of the above, we were forced to move out after two days of the seven that we paid for. When we questioned the host, his response was ‘l have never had this issue’, although a review of previous posts also addressed some of these issues.
