Great room, nice to have a bedroom and a living room.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"great choice for family stay"
Suite was clean and very spacious. Bathroom was very big so that's a plus with a family. The hotel service is very good. One small drawback, I know its an old building, but the windows leak causing moisture buildup in the room. Makes a nice place start to look a little run down and hard to control temps.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
25 floors and 4 elevators. This makes for trying to get up and down a little challenging. Other than that, the hotel is in a great location and the service was great. The remote had some weird stuff on it, I washed my hands after using it. Their cleaning staff could be a little more thorough when cleaning their rooms.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Night"
My family and I came into Louisville for one night, and was thrilled by our stay at the Galt House. The room was wonderful, the bed was firm and comfortable, and the staff were very accommodating. We will definitely be back.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Perfect holiday experience"
This hotel exceeded my expectations. I was a little reluctant to bring my 2 year old after seeing the pictures online, but it truly is a family-friendly hotel. All the holiday decor is wonderful and the convenience to the Kalightoscope display was perfect. We stayed in a suite and it was the perfect size for a wiggly toddler that often needs to run […] it out. Our room was extremely clean and well insulated from noise. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely going back next year! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Aging Southern Belle"
Galt House is a three-star hotel trying to hang on to its five-star past. There is nothing terribly bad about the property except that the furnishings and conveniences are 10 - 20 years old. The property is huge, taking up two large towers overlooking the Ohio river, about 2 blocks from 4th Street Live (downtown entertainment mall). We stayed in the […] Suite tower, which we understand is the most recently renovated. The room was huge (750 sq ft), but poorly laid out. As an example, the bathroom was 7 x 10 ft (really big), but all the fixtures were on one side and the sink was uncomfortably mounted in an alcove so there was no counter space. The beds, furniture, and carpets were obviously older and worn. The desk staff seemed professional, but not the level of hospitality or concern that you normally get an up-scale hotel. Asking for a late check-out, for example, got us an additional hour (until noon). They have a schedule to keep, and guests are just getting in the way. You get the impression that the property is not able to make a profit, and everything is done on the cheap. There is an up-charge for every service that a nice hotel should include: parking, internet, local calls, etc. Speaking of parking, the underground garage is claustrophobic (6 foot 4 inch clearance) and dimly lit. The one bright spot was the food service dinner and breakfast. The food was good, plentiful, and pleasantly served – go for the meals, not to stay. We're going to the competitors.

"Decent hotel"
My family and I have stayed here the weekend after thanksgiving and several other times. Decor is a bit dated but the rooms are nicely sized and we really like being downtown. It's always clean. And the staff have always been nice. Probably not worth the rack rate, but if you can get it on sale it's a good bet.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Great Location but worn.."
My husband and I stayed at this hotel on our recent trip to Louisville. . The location of the hotel was awesome, right downtown and overlooking the beautiful waterway. When we first arrived at the hotel we were informed we had to pay an extra 12$ a day for parking which was a shock (not sure if it wasn't on the website or if I just overlooked it), either […] way that was kind of frustrating but not much of a big deal. The lobby in the tower we stayed in had an AWFUL odor. When we got to the room we were a little dissapointed because it appeared a little old and worn down but was clean for the most part and didn't have a smell like the lobby. When we layed down we noticed on two of the pillows what appeared to be small blood stains. We waited until morning to call about this because it was close to 2 in the morning when we discovered it. We called first thing in the morning about this problem and they changed the linen and gave us a free meal pass to one of the hotel restraunts called cafe magnolia. The food there was not great by any means but for being free it was good enough. Overall the hotel was okay. The pool was shady all of the time we were there which was from about 2-4 in the afternoon but it seemed really clean and there were plenty of lawn chairs. We would stay here again but merely because of location and the beautiful waterway it overlooked not because of the quality of the hotel. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great suite"
We stayed in the suite tower, great for our family of five to spread out. The hotel was really crowded that weekend and security had to keep coming up and telling the groups of teenagers in the halls to be quiet but we couldn't hear it since the suite has an extra room. We loved how close we were to everything. Went to the riverfront park and rented […] bikes, also there is a free trolley which was nice. The pool was really cold and windy, its on the roof, but it was acceptable. We would stay here again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good place, bad first impression"
We parked our car in the garage before checking in. the trash cans in the parking lot were overflowing, the elevator from the garage to the hotel lobby was uncomfortably dirty. Maintenace of common areas was uneven. The room was kept in great condition.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Everything was great! The Staff are top notch and we will stay again...Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"great location"
The hotel was very nice. Very close to all the downtown attractions. Louisville Slugger Museum, Louisville Slugger Stadium, museums and restraunts. My only two complaints were the floor was wet by the air-conditioner that was covered by a cheap wood covering and the free downtown trollies didn't run frequently enough.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"No free wi-fi?"
I just want to know: who doesn't have free wi-fi in their hotel rooms in 2012? Really? And, don't count on working out unless you plan to pay for that, too. I rated the quality of the hotel service a 3 because of these issues.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Location is the key feature"
The location of this hotel is the prime benefit. Even though the rooms have been recently updated, there is a general feeling of poor quality in food, beds, front desk service, and the like. If you are going to a downtown event, this is the place to stay, I just wish their hallways didn't smell like rotting food and vomit.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Galt House - Louisville, KY"
Was not happy with the hotel. Room OK but dated. Shower was a disappointment...just drips of water. Charged for parking...couldn't believe no free parking. We will not stay there again. Love Louisville but not the Galt House!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"We stay at the Galt House every year!"
We love the Galt House. Friendly staff, lovely rooms, great location in a beautiful city with so much to do. Christmas time is especially nice. We have our entire family meet us there to enjoy the beautiful decorations, Kalightascope and downtown. The only thing that us not so great is their Magnolia Restaurant. Many great places to eat within walking […] distance. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"BEST QUALITY and Value!!"
This hotel is absolutely off the hook - decorated to the max for the Christmas season with a delightful dinner show....and the Kaleidoscope of lights was incredible. We met our Daughter, Son in Law and Grandbaby there to share some holiday spirit and we all left feeling more joy then you can imagine. The hotel staff is top of the line. The only downside […] was the pricey buffet breakfast did not provide quality food and I really felt like they were taking advantage of the guests with inferior food. If you have a need to visit Louisville I hope you will stay at the Galt House Hotel and experience all of the beauty for yourself! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Galt House was perfect for us!"
We did not even have to ask and we were upgraded to a huge suite overlooking the Ohio River. After a long drive from Chicago it was great to have all the extra room to spread out. It was clean and HUGE. Breakfast was yummy in the Magnolia room and the Christmas decorations were fun. We will be back.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"clean friendly amd a bargain"
The hotel has been around for a while but it was clean and updated stylish. The people were friendly and there were a host of places to eat onsite witha variety of pricing. It is close to the YUM center and 4th street live and best of all it was a buy one night get one free stay. Well worth the cost.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Beautiful, relaxing hotel. Our room had a great view of the Ohio River. Christmas decorations were incredible!Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Great place to stay if you enjoy seeing the sights and sounds of the city. We were pleasently surprise by the cost and size of our room. We were very comfortable during our stay and the hotel was very quiet. The view of the river was nice as well as the beautiful Christmas Decor throughout the hotel. There are many museums just walking distance, including […] the arts in craft museum which is free! I would defiantly stay here again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

Excellent, walking distance to great restaurants, walking distance to kids spray park and playgrounds, very clean, great outdoor pool with a great view, everyone was so nice and treated our family like royalty!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good hotel, not fantastic"
Quite OK hotel, given that we got a very good rate over Labour day weekend. Main pros: price, location, service. Main cons: A large highway next to the hotel (I-64, I think) making noise all night long (not too loud though), dirty elevators.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Can't go wrong with the Galt House"
We haven't stayed at the Galt House in 30 years so we didnt know how it would be. We were pleasantly suprised. The Galt House is as good as any. The location was great. The suite was huge, really needed a doorbell.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Kentucky Vacation"
We stayed at the Galt House for the first two nights of our Kentucky vacation. We booked a Deluxe room only to find that they had an Executive Suite for us. That's a pretty good surprise. The hotel is located next to the Ohio river (with a great view) and there is plenty to do in the area. We had our 3 and 9 year old daughters with us. It was very nice. The […] only downside was a fire alarm at 8am one morning. Apparently, there was a kitchen problem the previous night and the fire alarm in the kitchen was faulty. It was an inconvenience, but not a real problem. We would definitely stay there again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Location"
Nice older hotel, clean room, nice ammenities, great location. Will definately stay here again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Just needs a face lift"
Overall the hotel was fine. Just needs a major facelift - starting to look run down. Very convienent to downtown attractions. You are nickle and dimed for everything from parking to health club. Sweetest person in the world took our room service order.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice location to downtown but..."
I felt like our room at the Holiday Inn Express in Indy was nicer (larger, more comfortable bed, great shower). For the price you'd pay to stay at this place, I'd recommend staying somewhere cheaper unless you have to be in the downtown area.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
