I stayed at the Galt House last week for a conference and was very impressed with the cleanliness of the hotel and the friendliness of the staff. My only issue was that the hotel bar, AJ's, employs bartenders that do not know how to make an Old Fashioned, which, along with the Mint Julep, is a Louisville standard. Of course,... More

Nice hotel, though prices shoot thru the roof during big event weekends (no different than anywhere else) We enjoyed the close proximity to downtown and the ability to walk to 4th St. Live (a Must Do in Louisville) Clean rooms, friendly staff!

I drove up to Louisville, KY to meet a long time dear friend. We stayed at the Galt House and had really good time. The staff was always helpful and very polite. The room was clean, well kept and tidy. Its an older hotel, so it has that older hotel smell, but its by no means unpleasant. The elevators are... More

The Galt House is a Louisville institution. It was, at one time, the first and best hotel in the city. Sadly, it is nothing more now than a scam. They continue to charge premium rates, as though they are on par with the Brown Hotel or the Seelbach. Don't be fooled. They are not. In the past year I've spent... More

The lobby of a hotel tells you everything you need to know. Our lobby tells you who we were, who we are, and who we want to be. Our lobby is rich with our elegant beginnings and our downtrodden recent history. It’s also brightened by our efforts at regaining the elegance we once claimed so proudly. We’re flawed because we...

I looked at a lot of reviews before my stay and most of them were right on. The hotel has an amazing layout and presence by the river. When I walked in my room I was amazed with all the space but the lighting left the room dark. You can tell the hotel has made many updates to the rooms.... More

Stayed overnight at this hotel on a weeknight and got a great deal on the rate. While I am not about to pay $225 for a room, the rate I received was worth it. As with ANY hotel, there were pros and cons to staying here; however, I would recommend this hotel to someone if they were able to also... More

Could use a refacing...It's old. I had great view of Ohio River. Beds were firm and comfy. My balcony had a few too many insects, spider webs with arachnids to match...also, lots of moths...to feed the spiders. Dont feel that housekeeping maintained the balcony daily along with the rest of the suite. Overall, Friendly staff. Temp control was good. Hi... More

This is a great location. Walking distance to the Louisville Slugger Factory & Muesum, Muhammad Ali Center, Louisville Slugger Field (home of the triple A Louisville Bats), and many bars and restaurants nearby. But, you really do not need to leave the hotel for bars & restaurants! A little pricey but location is the name of the game!
