The Galt House was in a great location for the fireworks & the 4th Street Live! entertainment district. We were able to check in much earlier than the suggested 3pm check-in time which was perfect! I had booked the room w/one King bed, but was given a room w/two doubles. Once I pointed out the error, it was corrected immediately!... more

In general, the hotel was neat and clean, as would be expected of an upscale downtown hotel. The view is excellent, and the staff are very helpful. The rooms are a bit small and are not as nice as those of some of the other downtown hotels. Still, a very good place to stay and be close to downtown museums... more

I'm not sure what all the negative reviews are about. Yes some areas of the hotel look a little outdated, but these are not the areas you'll be sleeping in. I booked our hotel for $69 on Priceline and paid an extra $12/night for parking. That is not unreasonable at all for downtown Louisville. The reception staff were friendly and... more

My son is a student at the University of Louisville. My husband and I had heard much about the Galt House so thought we would give it a try. I did not expect a lot due to the somewhat negative reviews and comments about the hotel on this site as well as from locals. The hotel lobby was unimpressive. We... more

Mixed reviews and I ended up choosing this place. First visit to Louisville to see a show at the Palace. Good location within walking distance to entertainment and restaurants. I was thoroughly disappointed by both the inside and outside of this place. Rooms are like walking into 1970. Had reserved a king size smoking room and was given 2 double... more

We stay in the Louisville area at least once a month for the last 3 years. The rates last week were too high at the Courtyard (very nice) so we were quoted a cheap rate at the Galt House. You get what you pay for, would have been okay, but from the moment we walked in till the time we... more

The Suites at this hotel are very nice...the rooms are clean, the furnishings tasteful and the staff at the hotel courteous. The view of the river from the upper floors is quite pleasing. About the only knock I could find on the hotel is that it has only one bank of elevators and a pretty small selection of equipment at... more

This is the second year I've stayed at the Galt House Hotel for a lengthy conference at the Louisville Convention Center. Like last year, I experienced no major problems. I stayed for over a week in the Suite Tower -- a significant upgrade from the Rivue Tower, although those rooms are perfectly adequate. Both towers are linked by a bridge/conservatory... more

The rooms are noise machines; the walls are thin and you can hear most conversations in adjoining suites. You can hear people flushing their toilets all night. The Internet was down for almost an entire afternoon my first day. Housekeeping sometimes doesn't show up until 6 pm. They charge you about $5 a day to use their gym. AND they... more
