Galway Races Is There Any Hotels Available?

Ok the hunt is on we are now at the start of July and we have not booked a hotel in Galway for the races!! Is there any available?  Every year the panic starts in early July for hotel accommodation for the Galway Racing Festival?  You had such a good time there last year that you forgot to book the hotel for this year! 

Every year most of the hotels are re booked once the races are over, as guests are checking out they automatically re book for the following year?  So where does that leave you? Well you have a couple of options?

Contact some of the hotels and ask to be put on the waiting lists?

Consider renting a house for the days that you are down there?

See if you have any distant friends or relatives that live near Galway and call them up!

Get out the tent and start looking for some campsites that might be able to accommodate you!

Ocassionaly hotels will put some last minute offers up on the web so keep an eye on www.hotelsinone.ie

Hotelsinone.ie Offers Bertie Ahern A Break!

02.04.2008

“Bertie  - We’ll Give You A Break!”

Hotelsinone offers Taoiseach a “Dig Out” as he prepares for extended holiday in May

As the Taoiseach prepares for an extended holiday from 9th May following the announcement of his resignation this morning, Ned  - the face of www.hotelsinone.ie – has denied his appearance at the Mahon Tribunal yesterday was the catalyst behind the Taoiseach’s shock announcement today and, as a sign of good will, offered Bertie an extended hotel break with Hotelsinone.  

 

An Taoiseach looked the April Fool yesterday as Ned – full name ‘Ned Needabed’ – arrived at Dublin Castle as the Mahon Tribunal reconvened to offer “the very thing for the Taoiseach and any close personal friends who may need to lie low for a while”. Ned offered a “one-stop-shop” solution to several current controversies, from avoiding the glare of the media to storing sterling lodgements and a thrifty alternative to housing Celia Larkin’s aunts. He even asked Bertie to poke him on his Facebook page!

 

Carrying a large sign that read Hey Bertie, We’ll give you a break!  P.S Our prices are in Euro, not Sterling”, Ned made a personal visit to Dublin Castle to mark the launch of Ireland’s newest hotel reservation site, www.hotelsinone.ie. According to Ned, the 120 hotels on hotelsinone provide “a safe haven to anyone who needs to keep the head down after Tribunal disclosures or a value-for-money pampering break for an elderly aunt - saving you, in some cases, up to £30,000!”. Hotelsinone, he added, offers “an oasis of calm where it may be possible to recall the tiniest minutiae regarding sterling lodgements to bank accounts”.

 

Leaving the Mahon Tribunal – where he was refused entry – Ned said that, at a time when there are accusations of low standards in high places, Hotelsinone guaranteed high standards in all of its locations, quipping “Once you book into a hotelsinone member hotel, you’ll never say, “I just want to go home”.

 

Now on the day the Taoiseach has announced his resignation, Ned has denied that his dramatic appearance forced the Taoiseach to bring forward his departure date and offered Bertie a complimentary break after 6th May saying ‘Bertie, we’ll give you a bed. Just talk to Ned”. 

 

According to Ned, Hotelsinone is a favourite with Manchester businessmen as its “spacious rooms have wardrobes large enough to accommodate the biggest suitcases of sterling notes and bedside lockers to store pouches of cash.” He conceded, however, that the website’s online booking facility did not deal in cash lodgements and took bookings in euros only, not sterling.
